A GOOD STORY.
THE Late o. II. Morton and Gen. GPorge A.
Sheridan ON the stump Together.

Recent talk about gold, silver, and greenbacks
brought out the other day good story about the
late Senator Morton and General George A. Sheri-
dan of Louisiana Some years ago. when Morton
made a famous campaign in Indiana, he was ac-
companed by Sheridan. The Senator's health was
at that time very poor, and whenever he did not
feel equal TO making his speech Sheridan used to
deliver an address. Upon one occasion both ora
tors had to deliver speeches. and Morton, who had
a remarkable memory played a joke on Sheridan
by delivering the latters speech. The ground be-
ing thus cut from under the Generals feet, he was
for n moment nonplussed But as soon as the APP
plause had died away he arose and began to de-
liver Morton's speech In this speech Morton dis
cussed the subject of hard and soft money and had
a dramatic way Of producing a silver dollar and
q greenback. Sheridan had so often heard
and seen the Senator deliver the speech that he
was able to initiate 1t exactly. Thrustng his hand
into one pocket he produced dollar note and
holding II up to the audience, exclaimed: "What
is this? Is this money? No, my fellow citizens
this Is not money. Let me read IL to you. THE
United States promise to pay TO bearer one dollar
That is not money; that Sincerely promise TO pay
money" When Morton YES making this speech
and arrived Mt this point, he would return the note
to his pocket and produce silver dollar. Sheridan
was about 10 do the same thing, but found to his
dismay that he had no silver dollar about him
The audience began to litter Mt this coRiretemps
when Sheridan, turning TO Norton who was listen
ing to his own prize speech, said: SENATOR, lend
me that silver dollar which you use when you de.
liver this speech" 1t is needless to say that the
laugh was at once turned.
