The Daily Dispatch: November 1, 1860., [Electronic resource], Negro Suffrage to be Tested in Congress. (search)
Negro Suffrage to be Tested in Congress.
--In the Sixteenth Congressional District of Ohio, Cutler, Republican, was elected by sixty-four majority over Jewett, Democrat.
In a large number of precincts negroes voted the Republican ticket, and in consequence the Democratic candidate was defeated.
The Marietta Republican gives the number of negroes voting in several precincts.--enough to decide the result — and intimates that the election will be contested.
