Annotation

[1] ALS, RPB. Governor Tod lost his re-nomination to John Brough, also a railroad executive, 216 to 193 votes, less on national issues than on local considerations involving Brough's advocacy of a scheme for consolidation of east-west railroad lines, to which Tod was cool. Tod telegraphed Lincoln on June 18, ``The opponents of the administration will attempt to attribute my defeat to the advocacy of the leading measures of your administration. Do not for a moment believe it. Personal considerations alone was the cause of my defeat. No man in Ohio will do more to secure the triumphant election of the ticket nominated than I will'' (DLC-RTL).
