Gen. George on. The Edmunds
Resolutions.

The speech of Senator George
in opposing the Edmuuu resolu-
lions was a strong and mastcrly
,.ffort. He closed as follows:
Mr. President, it is argued that
The President ought to have no
secrets, no confdences--perhap.
he ought to hold his cabinet meet
Jugs in public in the presence CT
the reporters of the press.-that
no citizen, 10 senator, no Repre-
sentative, no Federal officer can
or ought to have anv communica-
tien with the President which
ought not to bc Immediately made
known to the world.
Well, Mr.. President, suppose
this is all so aud much moro Of
the samc sort is so. Still the OBJ
legations Of the President to un.
cover, to make known his
thoughts and actions. and what
he does in his great Office, and the
reasons for what he does is to the
American people and not to the
American Senate, unless in cases
10 which the Senate may need in
formation to enable it to perform
rightly \ constitutional duty. 1t
has been shown that we have no
duty to perform in relating to re-
movals from Office, and therefore
we have no right to information
to guide us in that matter. /
will undertake to say that
the demands Of the Amcri-
can people in this respect
will be fully met with by the
President. But, sir, what right
have we. to complain of seersey
on the part of the President in
relation to appointments and re-
movsls? Until sir, We have re-
moved from our own proceedings
the veil of secrecy which now.con-
ccals them. it i'll becomes US to
complain that other departments
of the Government do not choose
to disclose to us reasons for their
action. If the president in obe-
Jience to an unconstitutional de-
mand were to send US the evidence
OH which he acts he would not by
that submission take the Ameri-
cen people into his confidence he
would only consign the evidence
to that storehouse Of secrets-the
American Senate.
