Abstract

The Presidency of the Senate
December 3, 1885 issue

add to cart   close window

The article presents information about the presidency of the U.S. Senate. People venture to hope that the efforts which politician James G. Blaine's influence in the Republican party is making to "boom" general John A. Logan-into the Presidency of the Senate will not be successful. Of all the members of the Senate, he is the least fitted by temperament and ability for this position. In an ordinary election for a presiding officer he would never be thought of. He is pushed now by men who are so blinded by partisanship that they are unable to realize what they are doing. They are not aiming to put the most fit man in the position, but to capture a possible Presidential succession.
