William Parker Cutler (July 12, 1812 – April 11, 1889) was a U.S. Representative from Ohio. ==Biography== William Cutler, the youngest son of Ephraim Cutler and Sally Parker Cutler, and grandson of Manasseh Cutler, was born July 12, 1812 at the Cutler homestead in Warren Township, Washington County, Ohio.〔Cutler 1890 : 280〕 In 1829, he entered Ohio University at Athens. Ill-health forced him to drop out after his junior year. He farmed with his father, and continued ill health for several years prevented any professional aspirations.〔 In 1840, he campaigned for Whig nominee William Henry Harrison, and was nominated for the Ohio House of Representatives in 1842, but lost to George M. Woodbridge. In 1844, in his second try, he was elected by a large majority to the House. He was re-elected in 1845.〔 In 1846, he was elected again, and was chosen by the Whig caucus as Speaker of the House.〔Cutler 1890 : 282〕 After the close of the 1846-1847 session, Cutler's colleague, Hon. E. G. Squier wrote to a Cincinnati newspaper: In 1848, Cutler received support for Governor of Ohio, but the Whigs decided on a Northern Ohio candidate, and chose Seabury Ford, who ended up winning election. Later that year, he was nominated for congressman from the district, composed of Washington, Morgan and Perry Counties. He lost to Democrat William A. Whittlesey.〔Cutler 1890 : 283〕 In 1849, Cutler was elected to represent Washington County at the constitutional convention that re-wrote the constitution in 1850. While at the convention in Columbus, Ohio, the Whig State Convention was held May 6 and 7, 1850. Several members encouraged Cutler to be candidate for Governor. He declined, and William Johnston was nominated and lost the general election.〔Cutler 1890 : 283, 284〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「William P. Cutler」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
