I Il.
Mr., X Hrr replied that tbs gppoiIimeUt was
made Ia good laith, without previous un-
der-tBGding or hint OF digestion, and that
there Vas no reason why 10 could not be-
hOnorably rendered aud h0norably nc.
Orp'td. at tnce went 10 Morrison aud
told him that the speaker had placed him
at the head OF tho WA and means cnmmit-
tee. Morrison ss!d; i won't taki the
place; ! cau't afford ~, ! shall be charged
with bargaining and such charges eau never
he answered. / shall daCliGe the place.
When | told this to Mr. Kerr, he sail: Mr..
Morrison cannot decline 10 10 me. i shall
appoint him and h. must decline tue
mouse take the responsibility oi appoint.
iug him; he must take the responsibility Of
refusing IN public"
rhis aneciote is alluded TO because Mr..
Morrison is again accused, aud almost pre-
cisely Us he was eight years ego. The dis.
appointed, the srvious and the jealous say
that he made Mr. Uarlisle'G committees
that he is Carllsle's black popa and that he
is using the privilege TO forward his plans
to capture the next democratic convention.
Well, Mr.. Morrison is candidate Tor the
nomination. His state has presented his |
name before and will 10 50 again. 1t is |
true that he had finger IN the committee |
lists. foe speaker hid himself good |
many times in NJ. Morrison's quiet, little |
he'd room at Wizards aud he took the l.
lnois statesman with him when be went TO |
the capitol on Sunday, and the two men,
with tue speakers clerk, were locked up
anu hi idnn there from noon until dawn OF
day. Vet it may be- said IA the honest |
opinion OF lair men that, If Mr.. Nor ison |
would make H. good u president as he has u |
of committees, he ought To be !
n minated ana elected. The committees |
are the tint work o Carlisle and Morrison.
Mr.. Carlisle would like to sec Morrison
nominated for the presidency. He likes |
the man, respects his common sense, en-
joys his humor.
Morrison is singular product ofthe fat
prairie OF lower Illiuuis. Personally lie is q
knotty man Of five feet eight, good proper
ton, well shaped head, when his hair is
not so disheveled Us to jncealit, bushy eye
brows, black eyes full OF fun, with humorous
wrinkles running from the corners OF them;
q grizzly gray beard aud moustache Gu
b. ort; small hands for farmer, and envi-
ously small feet. He loves slOuched hat,
his hands are more comfortable when
showed into his pockets than anywhere
else, except when piowing through the
locks of his hair, which they leave standing
straight up on end aRd crossing each other
ike the paths of lscyrinth careless about
his clothes, but neater withal thrn good
many statesmen, and very fond OF high
polish on his boots. Mentally he is bright,
bright as u preclciogs child, with a superb
gilt for conuensing u perfect description of
4 man or principe into word or two.-
Spingii Id RepIhican.
