Brand New Book. Excerpt from The Ohio Presidents: An Address Delivered at the Ohio Centennial Celebration, Chillicothe, Ohio, May 20, 1903 There is an incident now quite forgotten, except as a family tradition, which I trust that I may be pardoned for mentioning. In the Whig Convention of 1848, after General Taylor had been nominated to the presidency, a member from Pennsylvania, seconded by a member from Tennessee, put in nomination to the vice - presidency Thomas Ewing, of Ohio. The nomination would have passed almost without opposition, had not an Ohio delegate, in the name of the Ohio delegation, withdrawn it, pro fessing falsely that h e did so with authorization from Mr. Ewing himself. But for this bit of trickery, Millard Filmore s place as thirteenth President would have been taken by an Ohio man. The explanation of the supremacy of this State has been found in the fact that through it passed by far the larger part of that migration from the East which has shifted the center of population and the weight of political in?uence into the Ohio basin. It was not a mad rush like that of the argonauts across the plains in 1-849. It was like the spreading of a forest, which takes root as it advances; it was like the maneuver of the Roman legion, when the younger and more lightly armed troopers, passed through the line of veterans to engage in the battle.
