Hon. Oliver =. Morton, United St,ter
Sens,or from Indiana, arrived in the city
last evening. Senator Morton is jouIneying
home~ari from . visit TO Colorado, whittier
he has been staying for several weeks. There
is no man in public lie to-day who deserves
more of his Country men than this same Sen
a,or Morton, and certainly no man in any
capacity mas labor-d harder and more efeo-
tuaIy than he to resist the encros hments of
the money power in the national councils.
Perhaps the battle which he gave in Con.
gress was not Of his own choosing, but cs
chairman of the Committee to iu ige Of the
the qualifications Of members, the leadership
fell upon him. S, faithfully, steadfas,ly
and vigorously did he discharge the respon-
sibilities of the position, that there was net
one in the Senate who could deny him the
attributes of a leader when the prolonged
debate c!o-ed.
The noble and forward course of Oliver
p. Morton when Governor of Indiana in the
days that tried mems souls gave him a ma
tional reputation, aud from that time until
this his political. star has been in the
ascendant. We have faith in the man and
in his principles and believe that his indom.
liable perseverance, and psrson1l integrity
will give him sill higher place in the
conf ience of hi. fellow citizens
Senator Morton has not publicly defined
his position on the problems that have RAP
i lily presented them selves since tic adjourG-
ment of Congress, but If we may be permit
ted TO Judge mans future position by his
record in the past, We can safely predict that
the weight of his influence. and the visor OF
his abilities will be els, upon ths side of the
people in their efforts to hold in check op-
corporations.
