696 - L Nov. 1:4/3-5 - Honorable Salmon P. Chase addressed an audience at
the Union meeting held in Brainard's hall last night. He was introduced
by Judge Spaulding. He began his speech by reviewing the time when he
first came to Ohio to go to school and gives credit to the schools and
freemen of Ohio for making him what he is.
He spoke of the fact that in the midst of so great a war as this we
are able to conduct a presidential election. "It fills me with gratitude
to think that I am a citizen of a republic in which so great a spectacle
is possible."
He discussed the candidates for election and reelection and also
the conditions of the Chicago platform. Of Lincoln he said: "No one
doubts that he is sincerely and earnestly in favor of the maintenance
of the Union of the States, and that he will do all he can to preserve
the Union. The intentions of the candidates, the platform and people
of the Union party are unmistakable." -
Chase then spoke at length of the opposing party and declared that
no matter what course the Democrats pursue in order to defeat the Union
and its principles, it is a settled question in the minds of the people
that Lincoln will be reelected by a greater majority than was ever
given before in a contested election, and declared that the election of
the candidates of the opposing party is utterly hopeless.
He closed with a plea that "every man, and every woman here, may
lay to heart the importance of the great issues before us, and of their
right decision; that each may consider how far these issues reach into
time, and what immense results they will influence, and that each one
may give every energy in seeing that the last voter is brought out, for
the success of our holy cause." (62)

1265 - L June 19; ed:2/1 - The evil effects of an over-issue of paper
money are apparent in the frightful inflation of prices prevalent every-
where. Mr. Chase has recently said that with an effective tax bill and
the utter extirpation of all the state rag-mill bills, he could in a short
time return to a specie basis.
"We believe this might be done, and feel assured that the people will
respond to the appeals of Mr. Chase for luoney on his present plan, in of-
fering these loans to the highest bidder." (4)

1266 - L June 24; ed: 2/1 - The gold bill does not allow gold to be sold
at a public board, in the usual manner. There is no sufficient register
immediately furnished to determine the true value of gold. Some brokers
ask $200, or $240 for gold. "People need not be alarmed at all, as
Secretary Chase is already on the track of these gamblers." (3)

1662 - L July 2; ed:2/2 - The first result of Secretary Chase's res-
ignation was to produce unsettled financial feeling. Increased gold
and produce indicates the markets are affected. Senator Fessenden -
succeeds Chase, and enjoys the reputation of financial ability which
will do a great deal to restore public faith. Congress and the coun-
try should give Fessenden undivided support. - - (7)

dent Lincoln, and calling on the people to make Chase president. He
thinks that the war should not be closed until slavery is extirpated.

careful - and then where will he go when he dies." (3)

1684 - L Apr. 30; ed: 2/1 - There are rumors that Secretary Chase
intends leaving the cabinet on account of the recent re-assumption by
Gen. Frank Blair of his former position in the army. It is said that
the secretary of the trensury regards the action of President Lincoln
in the matter as an endorsement of General Blair's attacks upon the
management of the treasury department.
"We repeat that the good sense, patriotism, and self interest of
Secretary Chase will alike indicate to him the impropriety of resigning."
