DEATH OF skHAT0R nORroN.
senator Morton died ut his residence
In fudhuapolis at 5:2oP. n. yesterday.
Tss unwslooms intelligence was not
unexpected. his physicians having
given him up some days ago. Par
t,culan Of his last hours are given In
pur selegraphic columns. He sudered
intensely towards the end, but re-
manned conscious, except at brief In
~tervsis, until the supreme moment
had arrived.
oliver p. Morton was born In
Wayne county, indiana, August 9TH,
1873, and was, therefore In his 5itb
year. He wss y graduate Of Miami
University, and subsequently studied
and prscticed law. In 1852 he was
elected Circuit Judge OF the Filth Ju-
dioial Circuit Of Indiana, and in 1850
be was chosen Lieutenant Governor.
He succesdsd 70 the Governorship Of
the State In 1851 by reason Of the cleo
ton Of Governor Lane 10 the United
states Senate. He succeeded himself
~ Governor In 1854, and three years
later took the place Of Senator Lane
In the upper House Of Congress.
He was reelected In 1872, to hold I'M
til March Sd. 1879. He bears the rep.
utation OF ha wing been one Of the most
jealous, active and efficient Of the
war Governors. He was among the
most radical Republican statesmen
snd through all the years Of recon.
struction, no man, perhaps, welded
greater influence in shaping the pol.
icy Of his party. He was powerful
dsLster and the intellectual peer Of any
man Of his time Ia the Senate. Like
all aggressive men, who have opinions
on public questions and express them
he had true friends and bitter enemies,
At the day Of his death he was the rec.
ognixed leader Of the Republican
hosts OF America. His untimely TAX
ing of leaves Conkling in undisputed
possession Of that high distinction.
The death OF Senator Morton will be
