McClellan
You are insinuating it!
Lincoln
Am I?
McClellan
I demand a retraction!
Lincoln
[Smiling.]
Then, I apologize for my careless expressions. I am glad to see you meet the ugly subject in this way! I have never believed you a traitor to the Union. That's why I sent for you to-night. Will you denounce these men publicly at a Union Mass Meeting, and let me resign and take the stump for you——?
McClellan
