Transcript	-31st- First Days Fight. My case was launched in the Senate today at 2 oclock and fought until 6 - for four hours my character, habits, fitness, and judicial ability was the storm center. When executive session was called for at 2 oclock Nelson & my enemies fought to prevent it, but lost. Then they began to attack me. Nelson, Pettus & McCumber attacked - Piles, Hemenway, Bailey & Foraker defended. It was not settled at 6 oclock and will come up again tomorrow. Bailey has been requested to take up my defence in the case of Nelson v. Meehan, & I am to go up in the morning and give him the authorities. Piles says he is satisfied that we will win without a dozen votes against us, - but - well I wont quit until I am out of the woods. I am greatly moved by the strong friends who are coming to my support, - from most unexpected quarters.
