a leader. If farmer he would have led his
fellows and struggled for place in the very
front of the column. If merchant or
lawyer, mechanic or tradesman, he would never

banner would have led the way. In word,
whether as Governor, lawyer, citizen or senator.
he was leader of men and of his associates
tireless in his efforts and never content with
other than the completest victory.
Governor Morton also, beyond any man ever
knew, was quick in discovering the weak point OF
his adversary, and able to use with the utmost
effectiveness the material at his command,
And he never fought without reserve force
which he could command at any moment, and
overthrow the opposition at the very instant
when his defeat seemed to his best friends nev-

Such, in brief, is my estimate of his character.
He filled, and deservedly, too, large space in

PLEASANT Hill, Mo-, Jan II, 1884.
To the Editor of the indianapolis Journal:
Lecturing this week in western Missouri
Your letter has just reached me- remailed from
South Bend, and 1 reply briefly, having but a
few minutes before the outgoing mail.
Of all the Governors, whose patriotic and ener
getic cooperation with the government aided so
potentially in subjugating the great rebellion
none will have higher place in the impartial
tablets of history than Oliver P. Morton. Fer
tile in resource tireess in labor seepless in zeal
daring in responsibility, fearless of all opposi-
ton, he was pre-eminently the War Governor of
these times. Sacrificing his health, as he did
for his country, whose triumph he had so much
at heart, | doubt not he would, if needed, have
sacrificed his life for it without sigh orr regret
AS a leader in the excitements, and labors and
debates of political campaign, he had no
superior in that eventful era. OF the aggressive
type of Thaddeus Stevens on the Republican
side, and Stephen A. Douglas, on the Democratic,
he enjoyed the cut and thrust the retOrt and
repartee of the hastings, never happier than
when charging along the entire line of his OPP
ponents. As time softens the asperities of pohti
cal warfare, all parties will recognize Oliver P.
and senator-as one of the
great men of whom Indiana has right to be
proud. SCHUYLER CoLFAX.

louise of Representatives, January IS,
1873, the occasion being the delivery ofaddresses
in memory of the deceased Senator, Hon. James
A. Garfield said:
sit has been said that Senator Morton was a
partisan, a strong partisan, and this is true In
the estimation of some this detracts from his
fame That ac;ls arise from extreme partisan
ship there can be no doubt But it should not be
forgotten that all free governments are party gov
ernments. Our great Americans have been great
partisans. Senator Morton not more parti-
san than Adams, Jefferson, Jackson, Clay, Cal
houn Benton, Marshall, fancy, or Chase. Strong
men must have strong convictions and one man
with belief is greater power than thousand
that have only interests Partisanship is opin-
ion crystallizad, and party organizations are the
seafoldings whereon citizens stand while they
build up the wall of their national temple. Or
CARNATIONS may change or dissolve but when
parties cease to exist liberty will perish. The
memory of Governor Morton will be forever
cherished and honored by the soldiers of my
State. They fought side by side with the sol
lers of Indiana, and on a hundred glorious
fields his name was the battle-cry of the noble
regiments which he had organized and inspired
with his own lofty spirit. To the nation he has

To the Editor Of the Indianapolis journal
Oliver p. Morton's services as war Governor
were so emnently satisfactory and freighted
with so many good results that any just estimate
would seem like eXaggeration He believed in
maintaining the Union at all hazards and en-
tered into the detail of everything which an in
domitable and untiring will could fathom, to
gain that end AS Governor his course was
marked by all that tended to sustain his convic
tons; and in this career he marked himself as a
great man, and justly won the confidence of the
soldier and the citizen. We follow him to the
Senate, that battle ground of political giants,
where men are made and unmade Oliver p.
Morton was worth the making. and in the con
iiict Of war and political opinion he made him
self His indomitabLe will coupled with
his ambition to succeed made him
the foremost man i'll his State,
and the greatest political leader in the nation.
He entered the Senate with the essential Ale
ments of strength-courage and willingness to
work. He was identified with all those meas
ures which sought to cherish the results Of the
war and make them permanent. and whatever
blessings follow are due. in a large measure, to
his efforts. Senator Morton a great man;
too great, with his active and progressive mind,
not TO be, at times seemingly inconsistent; but
he was too wise to continue in error and sacri-
feed no pride of opinion in changing when he
saw the right: and while the former may by
some be regarded as an evidence Of weakness.
the latter must be accepted as an evidence of
honest craftsmanship
good and wise Governor, true and honest
senator and patriotic citizen. Ne plus ultra.

to be sought in written words or limited by sub
tie constructions. No Governor ever had such
responsibility, and yet, without previous eX-
perence Of executive duties, he discharged the
new and complicated labors Of his Office with the
finest discretion and the most undaunted cour-
age Few men have been more intensely hated,
or more savagely reviled. but he never shrank
an enemy. He was not one of those who
hn6er when the lights of precedent
give out He walked fearlessly
in new paths and made precedents He did not
need to be braced, but stood four square-a shell
ter and an inspiration to the fearful and doubt
ing. His enthusiasm and energy in organizing
and equiping the Indiana regiments and his
soHeitous care in providing for the comfort OF
the men did much to arouse and sustain that
courage and dash in our troops which placed In
diana second to no other State on the roll Of
honor. He is the first Indianian to whose mem
DRY such monument has been erected, and
he is worthy OF this distinction.

To the Editor of the indianapolis journal:
Your letter of Jan. is received, notifying me
that the statute of the late Senator o. p Morton
VII be unveiled in your city on the 18th inst,
and asking me to send for publication, in con
neetion with the ceremonies of the day, a ''biief
estimate of his character and services" 1t is no
easy task to compress into the size of this sheet
of notepaper the merest outline of his invalua-
BILE services to his country. Others will do this,
and I may well limit my effort to the briefest OK
preston of the most exalted estimate l had
Of his character as a man of intellect and
force. We who served in Kentucky, Tennessee,
Mississippi and Georgia know that in Governor
Morton, of Indiana, we had friend to back us
who never stopped to calculate whether he had
not already filed his quota of men, of money of
wagons, mules, etc. but who responded to our
calls with every and every dollar which the
law or the ingenuity of man could accomplish
Had Governor Morton been endowed of bodily
he of mental strength he would have
been a splendid soldier Earnest in his patriot
ism, intense in his convictions and concentrated
in action, he would have swept away all opposi-
ton as a whirlwind; but, looking back over the
past am not sure but that Providence who
rules all things for the best placed him at In
dianapols during the war, and in the Senate
thereafter, where his honesty and force became
manifest to the whole world
Indiana honors herself in doing honor to her
friends will prepare an historic memorial of the
man which will endure as long as the bronze
stltue you are about to dedicate.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 10, 1881.
To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
1t was my good fortune to serve in the Senate
with Mr. Morton the greater part of his senator
al career during which he took an active part in
all the importanta and delicate questions discussed.
He may not have been so deeply read in the law
as some of his colleagues still he had a complete
and ready mastery of its principles, and Il power
of prompt and clear statement not eXcelled by
the most accomplished practicing advocate. The
distinguishing characteristics of his intellect
were vigor promptness, and perspicuity, and his
power Of understanding clearly, deciding readily,
and debating ablya new andntricate question, was
universally admired 1t is unnecessary for me
to add that he won the respect and regard of his
colleagues, and that in him his country lost

the public services of the late Governor Morton
were national and his fame belongs to the whole
country. AS Governor of your State during the
most eventful and critical period in the history
of the country he occupied posit on full of re-
sponsibility and peril. He accepted the respon-
sibities and braved the dangers of the situation.
He preserved and maintained the financial credit
and the good name of his State under the most
adverse circumstances, and rendered to
the Union services that can never be
properly estimated except by those who had
knowledge at the time of the difficulties and dan
gers Of his position. These were such as could
be successfully met only by man of extraordi-
courage it has not been my fortune to know
any one superior in these qualities to Governor
Morton Notwithstanding the eXactng nature
of the duties of his Office at home he always
found time to look after the welfare and com
fort of Indiana soldiers in the field with mi
nutest care, and am sure the surviving sol

TO the Editor OF the indianapolis Journal
Monuments and statues have been erected in
every age to commemorate the great and the
good Oliver P. Morton is richly entitled to
that distinction and thus to be commemorated.
Those who have erected his statue have not
only honored him but themselves as well.
Governor Morton was a man of rare and varied
abilities. He would have been distinguished in
any profession or calling in life. He was indeed
q born leader of men; and his almost unequaled
power consisted in his kind, cordial and genial
manners, in an indomitable will, his habits of
untiring industry, and his marvellous reasoning
ability. His sincerity apparent that his
auditor was in position to be Influenced and
convinced by his argument. OF all his intel
,lectual endowments | think his logical power of
REASONING and argument may have the first
place That was his great power, Yet in the
veneral use of the word he would not be called
an eloquent man. He did not indulge in figures
Of rhetoric or classical quotations But he was
more than eloquent, for in his SINCERITY earnest
ness and his logical force, he had few equals and
no superiors, and with these UNI ted qualilica-
tions he could convince
He has left the impress of his mir% upon the
ago and the country in which he lives, He was
truly, and will be regarded as, one OF eur great
and distinguished American senators. Wis loss
from that body was severely felt, and - was
