List of voters for the quote

Abraham Lincoln: I did say some colored men, the intelligent, the educated, and veterans, I qualified it. James Ashley: Mr. Stevens is furious, he wants to know why you qualified it. Schuyler Colfax: No one heard the intelligent or the educated part. All they heard was the first time any president has ever made mention of Negro voting. Abraham Lincoln: Still, I wish I'd mentioned it in a better speech. James Ashley: Mr. Stevens also wants to know why you didn't make a better speech. [There's a knock on the door; John Nicolay enters.] John Nicolay: Mrs. Lincoln's waiting in the carriage. She wants me to remind you of the hour, and that you'll have to pick up Miss Harris and Major Rathbone. Abraham Lincoln: Am I in trouble? William Slade: No, sir. [Slade hands Lincoln his gloves as Colfax and Ashley drain their drinks and rise.] Abraham Lincoln: I suppose it's time to go though I would rather stay. [On the way out, Lincoln tosses the gloves on a side table. Slade grabs them, considers chasing after Lincoln, then walks back towards the office. Slade turns and watches till Lincoln turns the corner and is gone.]
