Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Despotic Doctrines Declared by the United States Senate Exposed: And Senator Dixon Unmasked The appointment was recommended to the President by our governor, lieutenant governor, the other state officers, speaker of the assembly with other members of the legislature, and by the leading business men of the district. And their recommendations were endorsed by Secretaries Chase and Welles. The President gave Mr. Dixon and his friends a full hearing upon the subject, and then, with a comprehensive knowledge of all the facts, including those relating to our local political relations, the President made the appointment. All appeared satisfied. And so well satisfied was the Secretary of the Treasury with the administration of the duties of the office that he earnestly urged senators to confirm the President´s nomination. How Senator Dixon Prevented Confirmation. Until Senator Dixon´s first demonstration of hostility in the secret session of the Senate, it was not known by any one here that the President´s nomination was to be oppossed, except by the few in the confidence of the senator. But upon visiting Washington, and conversing with senators, the nominee found that Senator Dixon had been engaged almost entirely, for months, in making personal appeals to republican senators, political appeals to democratic and border-state senators, and aided by personal arrangements, social appliances, and gross misrepresentations, he had succeeded in binding a large portion of the senators to vote against my confirmation. With the other means employed by Senator Dixon for the accomplishment of his purpose, he exhibited letters to senators as spontaneous expressions of public sentiment adverse to the confirmation of the nominee, which were written in response to his own letters, and upon his own statements against him.
