Nominees Hayes and Wheeler Shake Up Cincinnati Convention
The Cincinnati Convention nominated Rutherford B. Hayes of Ohio for president and William A. Wheeler of New York for vice president after a hard three day fight. Hayes is praised as an honest man while Blaine’s frontrunner status collapses, and Wheeler is seen as a fair representative though the process lacked deliberation. The Democratic party gains confidence as Republicans face internal turmoil and public doubt.
