Description
Portrait
of
William
Bebb
(1802-1873)
,
born
in
Butler
County
,
Ohio
.
Ohio
Whigs
nominated
him as their
candidate
for
governor
in
1846
.
Banking
and
currency
were
major
issues
in the
campaign
.
Overall
,
Bebb
supported
the
extension
of the
Kelley
Bank
Act
of
1845
.
Bebb
ran
against
Democrat
David
Tod
on the
slogan
"
William
Bebb
and a
Home
Currency
against
David
Tod
and
Pot
Metal.
"
Bebb
also
campaigned
on the
issue
of
repealing
Ohio's
discriminatory
laws
against
African
Americans
. The
election
was
close
, but
Bebb
won
and
became
Ohio's
nineteenth
governor
. He
served
as
governor
of
Ohio
from
1846
to
1849
.
Upon
his
inauguration
as
governor
,
Bebb
immediately
had to
deal
with the
Mexican
War
.
Like
his
predecessor
,
Mordecai
Bartley
,
Bebb
personally
did
not
agree
with the
war
. In
spite
of his
personal
opinions
,
Bebb
continued
Bartley's
recruitment
of
Ohio
troops
for the
war
effort
. He also
continued
the
previous
governor's
economic
plans
and
reduced
the
state's
debt
during
his
administration
.
Before
leaving
office
,
Bebb
recommended
that the
state
hold
a
new
constitutional
convention
in
1850
,
which
ultimately
produced
the
Constitution
of
1851
.
Bebb
left
office
on
January
22
,
1849
, and he
never
again
held
an
elected
office
.
