There were many, many others.

The present president of the Senate, Senator Clark, of Arkansas, was as fearless and high-minded a representative of the people of the United States as I ever dealt with.

He was one of the men who combined loyalty to his own State with an equally keen loyalty to the people of all the United States.

He was politically opposed to me; but when the interests of the country were at stake, he was incapable of considering party differences; and this was especially his attitude in international matters--including certain treaties which most of his party colleagues, with narrow lack of patriotism, and complete subordination of National to factional interest, opposed.

I have never anywhere met finer, more faithful, more disinterested, and more loyal public servants than Senator O.H.Platt, a Republican, from Connecticut, and Senator Cockrell, a Democrat, from Missouri.
