MORGAN Is CoNTEMNED.

When the news Of Senator Nor /
gan's report on the Hawaiian gues-
tion reached here, the clacquers Of
the p. q. tried to make il appear
that the author was a great leader
of the Democratic party. Well.in.
formed followers OF United States
political Intelligence knew better.
they knew that Morgan was a trim.
mer who would set his sails To catch
any passing breez. that bore any
promise Of good fortune for Morgan.
He trimmed for Republican favor
ia the last Congress and Harrison
sent him "a a delegate to ia. Brus.
sells monetary conference. Bcfur.
the Hawaiian revolution was repre-,
seuted on both sides at Washington.
Morgan suiffed jingo applause aud
blatantly howled for the immediate"
conquest of the islands His pre-.
Judging of the cas-. on the wharf as
he was leaving for Europe was
enough to make any dpliv"ranre
from him IN the Seuat. liabl. tn sus
piciun. After his report was r-run
.d here highly informed visitor
from the States remarked that Nor.
gan was laughing stock OF the
Senate. Mr. Morgan was at latest
adyicrs conducting his senatorial
campaign in Alabama for the next
term. There il an extended t.l.
graphic report Of his second sp,.ch,
delivered at Montgomery. in the
Washington Post 81 April 2. u
shows that he wa. received with
cVlduess and silence. aud that his
address was an apology Tor his trea.
cherry to his party. The bulk uf his
speech, the report goes, was de-.
voted To an explanation 81 his poll

turcs made upon his political COZ
duct by the Montgomery Advertiser"
Ia attempting defense OF his course
upon the Hawaiian matter, which
had been severely criticised by the
Advertiser, he referred Ia himself
with whimsical conceit rs IAN Ala
bamian acting IN good faith, and as
Que who was able to save th. credit
"f the people Of the United States
and tn" Democratic party. After
defending tn. course Of Minister
stevens the report not stating what
was his defense he turned his dis.
course into an excuse for himself,
saying in effect that he did not
abuse Stevens because "thai old
man" had brokeu down in giving his
evidence with grief over the lnss IL
his daughter, What a great argu

Morgan would max. fine Judge
The Alabamian Senator proc,.d-d
10 vindicate his conduct against an
attack upon him for speech in
which he attacked President Cleva-
land and the Democratic party. His
Vindication being received in silence,
however, Morgan crawf-hed by apo,
logizing to the audience for his con
duct IN the matter in question. The
report closes with the following a"-
count OF an utter collapse 81 the
Senators effort To placate his offend
ed constituents: The senator then
took up the silver question, hut the
audience appeared To- have had
enough Of the Senator'S vindicatiou
and began leaving the house, and
the Senator abruptly closed by say.
ing: i have not closed by a great
deal, but ] have exhausted your
patience, and nothing remains for
me but to thank you tonight for
the very patient hearing you hav.
given me, Alabama is probably
done with the tim"-serving p"liti
