104 Supposed Diary of President Lincoln As this action was especially directed against Seward, who, several senators persist in thinking, has an undue influence with me, as soon as he was informed of it he placed his resignation in my hands. To-day the committee appointed by the caucus to make known its action consisting of Sena- tors Sumner, Trumbull, Harris, Grimes, Pomeroy, Fessen- den, Howard and Collamer — distinguished Republican lead- ers all — waited on me and stated their case, express...ing their minds very freely in reference to Seward and in milder terms concerning some other members of the Cabinet. Of course I gave them free vent for their opinions and feel- ings and then recjuested them to meet me in the evening for further consideration of the question. I then sent requests to members of the Cabinet to meet me at the same time. At the appointed hour the eight senators and all the Cabinet except Seward assembled, each party being surprised to meet the other. After some hours of free and all around discussion, I put the question to the senators whether they still thought Seward should be retired from the Cabinet in view of the great service he was rendering the 'country in the conduct of our foreign relations, to which Grimes, Trumbull and Sumner responded Yes, and Harris No, Howard, Fessenden and Collamer declining to vote.
