h American Review, July, 1887, p. 78. The appointment was received with general favor. Works, vol. v. pp. 484, 485. He, as well as other Republican senators, now assumed responsibility for public affairs, and their capacity for legislation was to be tested. Hitherto their work had been chiefly one of criticism, obstruction, and protest; it was henceforth to be initiative and practical. Naturally, Sumner was specially concerned for our representation abroad. He wrote to F. W. Bird, March 10:— There is chaos in our foreign system. But it is of incalculable importance that our cause should be represented at every European government with all the character, skill, and persuasion which we can command. But I fear that this exigency is not comprehended. While not making it a rigid rule, Sumner thought it desirable that a minister should be able to speak the language of the country to which he was accredited. He was impatient with two notions which are apt to prevail at

him into collision not only with radical leaders, but with wise and conservative men, who believed that it was a subject which belonged to Congress, and could not be safely intrusted to the exclusive discretion of the Executive. In January, 1864, there was a conference in Washington of members of Congress and citizens from different parts of the country to consult upon the nomination of Mr. Lincoln's successor, in which Mr. Chase appeared to be the favorite candidate. Two months later, March 10, Mr. Pomeroy, senator from Kansas, explained this movement in the Senate, and avowed his connection with it. Mr. Chase's candidacy, as well as the nomination of Fremont at Cleveland, came to no result; but the discontent remained during the summer, showing itself sometimes in a call for another candidate (as in the New York Tribune), or in a proposition, with a view to another candidate, for a postponement of the Republican convention, which was advocated in the New York Evening Post Bot

Except Sherman, no senator at this session contributed so much to the debate on the refunding and consolidation of the public debt. He succeeded in modifying in some points the committee's bill, but in his insistence on definite measures of resumption he was in advance of his associates. Sumner had from his first entrance into the Senate taken a constant interest in the reduction of postage, both on foreign and domestic letters.

It did not matter, as was claimed in their behalf, that other senators who voted as Sumner voted were not subjected to like discipline; he was the antagonist who kept up the spirit of the opposition; his was the leadership which secured the rejection of the treaty, and his humiliation was felt to be victory enough. The partisans of the removal in the Senate maintained a prudent resleft out of the historic debate at its final stage. In view of the statements made in debate March 10, apparently on Mr. Fish's authority as to their personal relations, the senator prepared a stat
