Richard M. Bishop
Richard Moore "Papa Richard" Bishop, född 4 november 1812 i Fleming County, Kentucky, död 2 mars 1893 i Jacksonville, Florida, var en amerikansk demokratisk politiker. Han var borgmästare i Cincinnati 1859-1861 och den 34:e guvernören i delstaten Ohio 1878-1880.
Bishop flyttade 1848 till Ohio från Kentucky. Han valdes 1857 till fullmäktigeledamot i Cincinnati. Han efterträdde 1859 whigpartiets Nicholas W. Thomas som borgmästare. Två år senare efterträddes Bishop av sin partikamrat George Hatch.
Bishop besegrade republikanen William H. West i guvernörsvalet i Ohio 1877 och tillträdde 14 januari 1878 som guvernör. Han lämnade politiken efter en mandatperiod som guvernör.
Bishops grav finns på Spring Grove Cemetery i Cincinnati.

Flag of the Governor of Ohio.svg
Flag of the Governor of Ohio, adopted in 1905, codified on October 3, 1945, and redefined (but not significantly modified) on September 30, 1963. Drawn according to the specifications in ORC §5.011, using a colorized reproduction of the standard 1996 Great Seal of Ohio. (Also known as the Ohio Governor's Flag and Ohio gubernatorial flag.) A physical flag made in the 1950s, before the seal and flag were fully standardized, colors the hills purple and omits the river.[1]
