I was chairman of the Committee on Military Affairs, reported the nomination with the recommendation that he be confirmed; that it met serious opposition, and that all my power and influence were required to prevent its rejection. In that contest I had no aid from the Senators of Virginia, perhaps because of their want of confidence in Mr. Floyd. If Mason were living, he could tell more of this than I am disposed to say.
