's
brother,
Col. Thomas Key, Democratic leader in the Ohio Senate at the outbreak of the
war, was appointed to McClellan's staff in August 1861, and was in no way
involved in Major Key's difficulties.

Strother,
A
Virginia Yankee in the Civil War,

the John Hay Papers, Illinois State Historical Library, are two newspaper
clippings—one from the New York
Tribune,
undated,
and one from the Washington
Capital
for
March 21, 1880, reprinting the
Tribune
article.
This is an interview with Nathaniel Paige, then
a
Washington
lavyer but at the time of Antietam
a
Tribune
correspondent. Paige asserts that Thomas
Key, at the time of the battle, told him that members of McClellan's staff had
been talking about
"a
plan to counter-march to Washington and
intimidate the President." According to Paige, McClellan knew nothing
about this, and the harebrained scheme (if it did exist) was dropped because of
Key's opposition.
