So
it seems hardly worth while to take the trouble of plying
Congress with petitions or arguments.

But my longest service upon Committees has been upon the two
great Law Committees of the Senate,--the Committee on Privileges
and Elections, and the Committee on the Judiciary.
I have been a member of the Committee on Privileges and Elections
since March 9, 1877. I was Chairman for more than ten years.
I have been a member of the Committee on the Judiciary since
December, 1884, and have been its Chairman since December,
1891, except for two years, from March 4, 1893, to March 4,
1895, when the Democrats held the Senate.
While I was Chairman it was of course my duty to represent
and defend in debate the action of these Committees on all
the important questions referred to them. I have also, by
reason of my long service, now more than twenty-six years,
on the Committee of Privileges and Elections, been expected
to take part in the discussion of all the Election cases,
and of all matters affecting the privileges and dignity of
the Senate, and of individual Senators.
