The election of Mr. Horatio Seymour, Governor of the State of New York: Democratic procession passing the New York Hotel, 1862. Procession '...en route for an evening open-air meeting in the City Hall Park, to ratify the nomination of the Hon. Horatio Seymour as Governor of the State of New York, and of Messrs. Elijah Ward, Fernando Wood, Benjamin Wood, and James Brooks as members of Congress for four of the electoral districts of the city. The New York Hotel...[is] the head-quarters and rendezvous of all the prominent politicians...whose battle-cry in the present deplorable struggle is "The Constitution as it is, and the Union as it was." When the procession passed this well-known hostelry the order was given to halt, the band struck up "Dixie" and the "Star-spangled Banner;" three cheers were given for Horatio Seymour, and responded to by the guests who had gathered at the door and on the balcony. It then went on its way, rejoicing...already certain of the victory which its party was destined to achieve within a short interval, a victory which has already changed the current of Federal politics, and which clearly foreshadows that the Republican party has no chance of electing another President in succession to Mr. Lincoln'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862.
