Manager Smith concedes that the Whigs will lose if the presidential election goes to the House, where Democrats hold an advantage. The Ohio delegation is closely divided, and Giddings could tip it toward Cass over Taylor. Smith claims Giddings prefers Cass, and the Taylor men resent Giddings for outmaneuvering them, forcing them to support Van Buren to win Ohio.
