Curtis and Anthony Nominate in Dual Shawnee Conventions
In Holton two rival conventions met to nominate for Congress after anti Curtis factions seized the tabernacle. Curtis supporters declared victory at a later session, while Anthony and anti-Curtis groups named their own slate. Delegates from Shawnee, Leavenworth, Atchison, Jackson, and Doniphan counties formed contested lines as the rift threatened a split convention and possible rival tickets.
