He learned, however, that increasing sampling frequency is not a change to be implemented capriciously, with a "the more the merrier" approach, but rather depends on two factors: how often a process is likely to change and how much the sampling process itself will cost.
While he had relished an opportunity to be right once again and to send Benjamin back to the shower to rethink his ideas, he has taken a bath on this issue.

The leading candidates for vice president were Senator Benjamin Wade of Ohio, Speaker of the House Schuyler Colfax of Indiana, and Senator Henry Wilson of Massachusetts, plus several favorite-son nominees.

The circumstance that Wade was next in succession had the most appeal for so-called Radical Republicans who hardly needed further incentive to remove a president they considered a traitor.
As for Wade's own voting to convict, it was doubtless technically improper, [17] but it hardly mattered.
Wade and his supporters felt that his state was entitled to both of its votes, ballotting equally with other states; nonetheless, he refrained from voting until the day of ballotting on the verdict, and he voted to convict only after acquittal was already a mathematical inevitability.
