would not fail to honor, and which l was l to repay by working day in and day out, | from o'clock in the morning to F at I night, Sundays not excepted. 1 felt that could do it, and I have always done it,. But am tired now, and that is all there IS about it. Loud cheers and applause.l From q voice in the audience came :: "What year did your father come to this county?''
 Senator Morgan-You will have to ex- cuse me for not being able to remember it, for it was twenty years before l was born. cannot stop to make any calculations
 now. There is one thing l know about it, and that is, my father always thought then | it was in it's first dawn, in it's natural beauty, nothing missing, not even the | trees and grass-a perfect wilderness. He
 settled in the old town of Jonesboro. But that is all very pleasant to refer to, al- though it has no reference to this occasion. Now, would like to know what sort of state this is going to be if Kolb is elected governor.
 Colonel Milner-He js not goiog to be elected.
 Colonel Hewitt-No, sir; he can never be elected.
 AFTER THE sENAToRsHIP.
 Senator Morgan-I want to know what he is going to do when he is governor. l want to know how he is going to keep up the credit of the state, and how he is going to preserve peace, and how he IS going to recommend it to other countries of the earth. But that is not in it. They care nothing in the world about his being gov ernor. George Hoar and Cabot Lodge would as soon see him Il master of Punch and Judy show as to see him governor of the state of Alabama. Laughter and ap- pleuse. But that is not in it, and never was in 1t. will tell you what it is: It is that seat in the United States senate that 1
 occupy. voice: "That's al.'] And why? You take George Hoar's letter. have got it here, but want to put you to the trouble of looking it up and reading it-take that letter in which he describes Mir. Kolb's visit to him in Washington and the bright prospects that were laid out before him of changing the results in Ala bama, and amongst the most prominent things to be done was the election of Mir. Morgan's 8 successor in the senate. That is the point. They do not care so 1t is true that I expect l have robbed MT. Hoar of some very sweet sleep. l have been tolerably vigiant about him laughter and applausel so much so l am around, l notice; and doubtless, for personal reasons, he would be perfectly Willing to see me out of that body. But that was not the object. The point is co break the administration and defeat the democratic party on March 4, next. l want to bring that to your attention for few moments, because that is the whole point. They would give Kolb the gubernatorial of- flee of Alabama, or they would give him cool S100, 900 in money to elect Kob leg islature down here that would defeat Colo nel Tompkins, myself of some other good democrat for election to the United States senate. Now, why? We now only have two majority in that body. The passage copy here, the best one that ever went on the statute books, if we get it there, as am sure we will, without any material changes, was secured only by the democratic majority in the senate. The wiping off the. statute books of those hideous election laws, which have stood like an incubus for years, was only secured by the democratic majority in the senate. Numbers and numbers Of bills that we have passed and are going to pass can only be passed by virtue of the fact that we 6ave two major ity in the senate. One of these we have lost, New Jersey; another one we will lose, Kansas-Mr. Martin. That would put us one minority, but we make up one from Montana and another probably from Ne braska. He will be called populist, but he is democrat. l think we will make two more by the new state of Utah, though l do not know the terms upon which it was admitted, not having been in my seat when it was done, but am sure the democratic senators must have been satisfied they would get democratic senators from that state or they would not have admitted it. Loud cheers and applause.1
 That is pretty plain talk, but it is a fact.
 NOW3 SlCCt d MUD lcS duu uClCdb me or whoever else may be nom- mated In our caucus in Mont gomery, and it can be anybody they want; it does not make any difference to me. But you put a Kolb legislature down to elect MT. Goodwyn, or MT. Bowman [applause and lau ghter; voice, ''My God,''] or Kolb misses and cheers], or anybody else. Then Butler in South Car olina goes. It sweeps off his feet one of the most gallant men l know, who lost Of his 1pOa nj Brandon Station Va after having gone through the most gallant cavalry charge ever seen on earth; man with the biggest heart of any man ever knew; you might rot off all of his body to be just as big and responsive as ever. Cheers and applause.] Butler is to go; lsham Harris is seriously theatened; Pat rick Walsh of Georgia will be seriously Carolina will be in danger. Alabama is standing in the balances before the coun- try today, and you turn her loose on the first Monday in August and elect a Kolb legislature and Cleveland's administration it save the exercise of the veto power and ments to office. Then ali of your grand success and all that we ex- pected to do when we have reconciied the pies of government that the south and southwest and west, which the dem ocrats in those parts of the country are welded to and believe in, are gone. You have deprived us, on the first Monday in August, of every thing. Alabama is the first state to vote. Alabama has always been democratic state she has been true to her counsels from the beginning whenever she has had the liberty of expression; always so. Poll the people of this state today and there is majority of 90, 900 to 100, 900 of fair, square, honest and true democrats. Applause.
