I'll go with either Edwin Stanton, US Grant, or Ned Flanders.

Good try, Thomas, but the kudos go to Gene! It was Seward.

RE: Mary Lincoln Extra Credit Questions
Her most flowery reference to Seward IMO is that of a "dirty abolition sneak".

Elizabeth Keckly also reported that Mary Lincoln told her husband:

"He's a demagogue, and if you place him in power, Mr. Lincoln, mark my words, you will rue it some day."

Whom was Mary referring to?

Brilliant, Bill. This is what Elizabeth Keckly reported Mary told Abraham when she learned he was going to appoint Johnson as Military Governor of Tennessee.

You and wife win two free passes to the Andrew Johnson House in Greeneville, TN.

RE: Mary Lincoln Extra Credit Questions
Let's try one more. This is another quote from Mary Lincoln as reported by Elizabeth Keckly.

Mary said of this man: "He's a humbug."

Whom was Mary referring to?
