The Corners Tug Of War For New York Delegates
A 1868 Toledo Bladen Post account details a fractious effort to select delegates for the New York convention. Corners resist travel costs while factions push for Per Diem, with Bascom briefly agreeing to go after a revelation that Belmont funds may be used. The episode descends into near chaos as supporters argue over who will serve and how expenses are shared, ending with implied consensus and a delegation assembled under pressure.
