<h3>"MASTER OF THEM BOTH."</h3>
<p>"General McClellan's attitude is such that in the very selfishness of
his nature he cannot but wish to be successful, and I hope he will!
And the secretary of war (Stanton) is in precisely the same situation.
If the military commanders in the field cannot be successful, not only
the secretary of war, but myself, for the time being master of both,
cannot but be failures."--(Speech, August 6, 1862, at Washington.)
