Tilton and I went afterwards to see where we could find a room at the principal hotel to occupy, but our application was in vain. Every hotel is more than full. Fortunately for us, Senator Wilson insisted on our coming to his hotel (the Washington), and by his influence got a room for us. We have dined and taken tea with Wilson, who is unremitting in his attentions. To-morrow we shall go to the House of Representatives—to Arlington Heights—etc., etc. . . .

His amendment It was drawn by Mr. Chase. was lost; but he was supported by Chandler of Michigan, Conness, Howard, Lane of Indiana, Pomeroy, Ramsey, Sherman, Sprague, Wilkinson, and Wilson. Sumner received unstinted praise from Chandler, a banker by profession, who testified in debate to the debt of gratitude which the country owed to the senator from Massachusetts for his patriotism and statesmanship, and pronounced was not readily observed. But the criticism did not stop here. He was felt to be too easy-going, to be disposed to give too much time to trifles; to be unbusinesslike in his methods, slow and hesitating where vigorous action was required; Wilkinson in the Senate, March 10, 1864; Congressional Globe, p. 1027. and the objection in general was, that in capacity and temperament he was inadequate to the responsibilities of the head of a nation at such a momentous period.

The committee's report found its most earnest support in the Western senators, Wade, Chandler, Harlan, Howe, Lane, Wilkinson, and Brown—the first two of whom forgot in this debate the requirements of good manners. When Sumner suggested on the first day that the resolutions came up that it was not best to go on with them then, Wade ejaculated, You would if you were in prison. Chandler expressed surprise that Sumner thought it inexpedient to protect our suffering prisoners, though expecting such conduct from those who desired the success of the rebellion, described the latter's substitute as a sublimated specime

phia, March 9: The indignation here over your removal extends to men of all parties. I have not heard one Republican approving it. I shall denounce it without stint tomorrow. His despatch the next day was as follows: The leading evening Republican papers follow the morning Republicans in stern denunciation of the course of the senatorial caucus. Among letters received by Sumner which condemned strongly the action of the Senate were those from Ira Harris, former senator from New York, M. S. Wilkinson, former senator from Minnesota, William Lloyd Garrison, Gerrit Smith, Governor Claflin of Massachusetts, and A. H. Bullock, former governor of that State. This correspondence noted the popular disapproval and indignation with which the removal had been received. Within a week came an election in New Hampshire, a State hitherto steadily Republican, and the result was a Democratic success, which was attributed to the action of the Senate.
