Lincoln&rsquo\;s reputation as a war time executive commander has been so marked that we sometimes forget\, if not i gnore\, other non-military aspects of his presidency. \; In fact\, he was one of the most consummate political operatives in our history. \; His skill is well reflected in his relationship with Salmon Chase of Ohio and then Lincoln&rsquo\;s appointment of Chase to Chief Justice of the Un ited States Supreme Court.
