This plan, if under more fortunate conditions it could have succeeded, was rendered futile by the wholly unexpected defeat of General Truman Seymour at the battle of Olustee. John G. Nicolay, his first secretary, was de- spatched to Missouri with a view to overcoming factional troubles in that State, kept alive by political leaders of strong co...ntrary types, and thus to secure if possible her eleven electoral votes, which in Lincoln's estimate, as we shall see, were conceded to McClellan, but which were actually cast for Lincoln. In October, Maryland had voted upon her new constitution, the chief feature of which was the final extinction of slavery; and out of a total of 60, 000 votes the majority in favor of the new law was a bare 375, and that result had been carried to the Court of Appeals on the theory that the vote of the soldiers in the field could not legally be counted.
