 Salmon Portland Chase
Salmon Portland Chase, Lincoln's first secretary of the treasury (March 1861-July 1864), was very much an ambitious politician who wanted very much to become president, but never did.

Chase especially thought the president was not moving fast enough to abolish slavery, and in 1862 he attempted to lead other radical Republicans in a coup against Lincoln.

SALMON P. In 1856 Salmon Portland Chase became the first Republican governor of Ohio as a result of what may truthfully be called a party revolution.
If, as some historians have suggested, Lincoln's motive in appointing Chase to the court was to put a perennial candidate in an office that would satisfy his ambition and thus "bury" him, as Chase's daughter charged, Lincoln failed, for Chase, abandoning the Republican party, actively sought the Democratic nomination in 1868.
Ignoring his detractors, Chase emphasized the dangers of slavery extension and what he called "Southernism." The result of the election, crucial for the future of the Republican party in Ohio, was a victory for the entire Republican ticket.
