See, even then, people made sweeping election predictions that turned out to be wrong.

Strong mentions [William H.] Seward and Thurlow Weed near the beginning of today’s diary entry. Seward is the second term U.S. Senator from and former Governor of New York, and so one of the most prominent politicians in the state. Thurlow Weed, formerly a Whig, became an original Republican mover and shaker. Seward wants to become President as a Republcian in 1860 and Weed is going to help him in his quest. But for now they are Fremont men.
William H. Seward.
Thurlow Weed
