EULOGIES FROM THE PRESS

New York Times.
Even those who withhold from Nor
toms political methods their unqualifi
cd appreciation cannot refuse him ad.
miration for his talents, his honest,
and his patriotism. Asa Republican
he was pre-eminently useful. Tn,
party owed him a great debt. A skill
full organizer, a good debater, an elO
quent and popular speaker and practi-
cal legislator, he did much Gn the Sen

lin the Senate and out of it) to streng
then his party and to organize victor,
when defeat seemed possible. Cour
ageous and outspoken, he !, as never
man of halfway measures and com
promises. He was not one of those meel
souls who are ready to apologize for tn,

clear in his own convictions, and though
the men and the measures which h,
sometimes upnald might not com memo
themselves to the candid judgement o
his political associates, he supported
them with a CHEEKY frankness which
won respect where implicit copfidenc,
was impossible. AS Senator, Mortor
was full of inventions, ready in debate
and powerful in argument. II will no
be claimed for him that he was grea
statesman, rOr yet man of broad and
comprehensive views. He could no
have built up State, but he couIo
have defended it with courage anC
fertility of resource which would have
haffied the most daring foe. He 1;

brio OF life slowly yielding to the at
tacks Of foe to which the bravest
must finally surrender. For one who
had.su keenly watched and actively
participated in the great political strug
giles of the time, we might have wish
ed longer life. But, though he fell
in the midst of his years, it may be
truly said that he has not lived in vain
