NOVEMBER 10, 1864:
The Richmond
Times-Dispatch comments on the expectation that Abraham Lincoln will win
re-election in the North:
[O]ur men . . . still
remain [ ] in momentary expectation of a shouted salute, wherewith it is
expected the Yankees will greet the first news of Lincoln's success at the
Northern polls. It was not thought they will wait for official returns as to
the general result of the election, but will bang away with their
double-shotted guns over any important success. Our men [are] prepared to hurl
back a defiance in kind . . . the result
of the election in the principal cities must be known to-day.
