tanned in the paragraph relating 20 the
Secret Service in the annual message

contrary both sides Of the chamber
seemed united in a stern resolve to re-
sent what they commonly regarded as a
gratuitous personal offence in a man
ner consistent with the dignity Of the
highest legislative body I'm the United
States Several Senators said plainly
that the language used by the President
premeditated insult 10 the Congress, and
older and more cautious Senators nodded
gravely In affirmation of the statement.
Action OF an uncompromising charac-
ter was indicted by the course adopted
by the leaders and followers OF both
parties in the Senate in putting the or
der Of redress in the hands Of Senator
Aldrich. Of Rhode Island, recognizing
him in this instance not alone as the
leader of the majority but as the leader
Of the Senate Mr.. Aldrich accepted the
responsibility with its implied compli-
ment. that came to him without formal
consideration. but by common consent
and without hesitation he offered reso-
luton that opened the way for an eH'
preston by the Senate after judicial
/ inquiry had been made. To that he added
an earnest OF good llith and hxity OF
purpose by accepting without question
amendments proposed by Senator Cul-
berson Of Texas. tho leader Of the mi
