The cold and somewhat stately Welles was repelled by Stanton's impulsiveness and violence, while Stanton was exasper- ated by Welles's calmness and lack of excitability. " Lincoln's ministers had no idea that he towered above them, " says Mr. John T. Morse, Jr. , " and no one of them was at all overawed by him in those days. Pre- siding over them at the Cabinet, casually meeting them, chatting with them or lounging as was his habit in Stanton's room, Lincoln seemed only officially superior to t...hem. One of them had expected to be President, and another meant to be; a third dared to be insolent and unruly ; it seemed to be only by a chance of politics that these men stood to him as junior partners to a senior, or like a board of directors to the president of a corporation. " EVERY-DAY LIFE OF LINCOLN 365 The unfriendly feeling existing between members of the Cabinet comes out in many entries in Welles's Diary. " Pressing, assuming, violent, impatient, in- triguing, harsh, and arbitrary, " are examples of the terms in which Stanton is spoken of by Welles His contempt for the Committee on the Conduct of the War is expressed in no less stinging words.
