A. LINCOLN,
President of the United States:
The opponents of the Administration will attempt to attribute my defeat to the advocacy of the leading measures of your Administration. Do not for a moment believe it. Personal considerations alone were the cause of my defeat. No man in Ohio will do more to secure the triumphant election of the ticket nominated than I will.
DAVID TOD,
Governor.
