As an ardent Democrat , perhaps the highlight of his career was to serve as the chairman and president of the 1832 Democratic National Convention , the Democratic Party 's first national convention . Lucas was also nominated the Democratic candidate for governor in 1832 , and won after a vitriolic campaign . Lucas County , Ohio , was established and named for the governor during his second term , in defiance of the Michigan Territory , which also claimed the land around the mouth of the Maumee Riverthus provoking the almost-bloodless Toledo War
