Excerpt from Going Home to Vote: Authentic Speeches of S. P. Chase, Secretary of the Treasury, During His Visit to Ohio, With His Speeches at Indianapolis, and at the Mass Meeting in Baltimore, October, 1863I am happy to inform you. Fellow-citizens, that we did our duty in Ohio yesterday, and I am glad to hear that you did yours in Indiana (cheers) Our majority for Brough will probably be from a hundred to a hundred and twenty thousand. (cheers) I wish I could say that not a man voted against patriots at home, or the soldiers in the field. There is not in truth, as a loyal friend remarked in my hearing last night, so much cause for exultation that the victory is with the Unconditional Union men, as there is cause for sadness that any considerable number of citizens could be so far misled as to vote against their country and for its enemies. But let that pass. Let us rejoice that the great heart of the country is sound. The tidings of yesterday's event will be heard by the rebels as the knell of their hopes. They will be received by our armies as the omens of triumph. They will go across the water as the authoritative announcement of the People's determination to permit no dismemberment of our country - to maintain its integrity against all antagonists.
