Mr.. Morton and his Critics.

In some quarter. disposition has been
shown to crlticise the Vice President be
cause he happened to be absent from the
Senate Chamber at the time when the vote
on Mr. Stewards motion resulted in a tenn
porary displacement of the Election bill.
1t Is asserted, among other things, that
hr. Morton should not have permitted
Democrat to occupy the chair during his
absence at such critical period. Criticism
Ike this must strike any one at all &C
qualEted with the manner in which bust
ness Is transacted in the Senate as peculiar
ly frivolous and unjust. The powers of
the presiding officer IN this body are strict
~ defined; they are, in fact. so circum-
scrlbed by the jealousy of the Senate,
whose members would resent the slightest
departure from precedent as an encroach-
ment upon their own independence and
authority, that a practical exhibition of
partisan,hip in the Vice President is al
most impossible under existing conditions.
On the occasion referred to Mr.. Harris,
of Tennessee parliamentarian of ability
and e&perience-presided. He had been
called to the chair by Mr.. Morton as any
other Democrat might have been, the
custom of the Senate ding that
members Of both parties shall in turn be
invited to WELD the gavel. In this, there
fore, there certainly was nothing irregular.
The Nice-President has further been
charged with having left the chair know
ing that motion would be made by Mr..
Stewart to take up a financial measure and
lay aside the Election bill. As matter of
fact, Mr.. Harris didn't know himself for
what purpose Mr.. Stewart was rising;
and, If a Democrat like Mr. Harris was
Ignorant of Mr. Stewards intention, is it
at all reasonable to suppose that Mr.. Nor
ton, Republican and an anti-silver man.
would be in the confidence of the silver
coalition! 1t is difficult. moreover, to see
how Mr.. Morton, occupying the chair in
stead of Mr.. Harris, could have affected
the result by the vote; or how Mr.. Morton
could have ruled differently from the way
Nr. Harris did. Under the circumstances
blame can only attach to those Repubi-
can Senators who deserted their party and
Its principles in order TO carry out the
terms of disgraceful bargain with the
opposition. To criticise Vice President
Morton for failure to do his duty is to
show ignorance of the facts in the case
And while on this subject it may not be
amlss, perhaps, to draw attention to the
marked ability and conspicuous fairness
with which Mr.. Morton has discharged the
responsible duties of his high office. They
have earned for him the esteem and the
regard of his associates, irrespective of
party; and 1t is only the praise of dsin-
terested writers in Democratic and Mug
wumP newspapers, which can. we imagine,
dim the feeling of satisfaction with which
he Is entitled to look back to the record
he has made for himself as presiding
othcer OF the United States Senate.-N y.
