Note 225 — Chapter VIII · SEYMOUR’S PRESIDENTIAL FEVER 1864
Reading edition
"The announcement in the Albany Argus that Governor Seymour was not a candidate was written by Seymour himself, and taken to the Argus by his private secretary. It is now announced that it was intended as a feeler. The whole force of the opposition to McClellan is centred in this move for Seymour."—New York Herald (Chicago despatch), August 28, 1864.
