a chequered career and has, perhaps. turned
more sharp political corners IN his day than
any other prominent man in America.
THE SENIOR IN SERVICE.
A little 10 Mr.. Morrill's left sits his dis
tinguishcd colleague, George F. Edmunds, who
III continuous service is the senior member Of
the Senate, having entered that body in 1886.
The judge occupies q leading place, and is one
Of the interesting figures of the chamber. OF
late years he has engaged less frequently in de-
bate than was his former custom. He speaks
only when matters of importance are under
consideration Judge Edmunds has long been
chairman of the Judiciary committee, and as
lawyer has no superior in the Senate. When
Judge Thurman represented Ohio in that body,
there existed between him and Judge Ed
munds a warm personal friendship, and
1t is often remarked that the latter has never
been happy since his old comrade retired to
private life. During the twelve years of their
contemporaneous service they were colleagues
on the Judiciary committee, and much given to
consorting in the seclusion of the committee
room. They were by no means incorporate,
yet neither wore the blue ribbon; and the reg
ularity with which they absented them
selves from the daily sessions of the Senate
about the same hour inspired the belief
