Note 241 — Chapter VIII · SEYMOUR’S PRESIDENTIAL FEVER 1864
Reading edition
"McClellan's name, associated with a noble struggle for the national cause, has elicited and will elicit the wildest enthusiasm; but leagued with propositions for national humiliation, it is not a name the people will honor. McClellan is not large enough to cover out of sight the bad points in the Chicago platform."—New York Herald, September 6, 1864.
