MORGAN AND pUGH.

Our distinguished sene tors will be at the Morris hotel this morning. They are always welcome to Birmingham.
 Speaking of Senator Morgan the At lanta Constitution of yesterday says;
 Senator John T. Morgan, the stalwart Alabamaian, regarded everywhere as one of the greatest living Americans, arrived from Washington yesterday afternoon and talked about the result of Tuesdays election when asked about it last night.
 Senator Morgan came from Washing ton. where he has been for three weeks, busily engaged with some important mat ters connected with his official duties The senator is a very busy man. He looks first after the interests of his con- stituents and those interests required his presence at the national capitol. Tues day, while the election news was being received in Washington and creating great excitement, the great Alabamian was at his desk at the capitol, hard at work.
 'The senator has been spending the past two months in the hills of Pennsyl- vania with his two daughters. who are now the only members of his family He left his daughters in Pennsylvania, and is on his way to Alabama, where he goes for a few weeks. He will remain there until just before congress meets December 2.
 "He will be joined this afternoon by Senator Pugh, whom he left in Washing ton, and they will continue the journey to Alabama together. Today he will visit the exposition and see the show for the first time.
 "He was asked about the election at the Kimball last night.
 ITO what do you attribute the defeat of democracy in the several states on Tuesday,? he was asked.
 n r ClaUplq n he said with a smile. It's attributable to that. To MT. Clevelands great popu- larity.
 T see the report has it that Hardin is defeated in Kentucky. I hope that may be a mistake. I certainly hope the 1egis- la ture is saved. I should think that it Is all right. I suppose if the republicans get the legislature Bradley will go to the sen- ate; that is, of course in the event the state senate can be organized by the re- publicans and the president could step into the shoes of the governor.
 " The result In Maryland as elsewhere, is due to MT. Cleveland. He is strongly topposed to Senator German. The result in the other states is attributable to the same cause. The democracy must put silver in it's platform, or else there will be precious little democracy in the cam paign of 1896. Wat Hardin had to ride double horse. His convictions made him support one lHlUS, anu ne was on platform that said exactly the oppo- site thing. The influence of MT. Carlisle was not used to any great effect in Ken lucky
 Senator Morgan, in speaking of the coming national campaign, said that no living man could foretell what would happen, It was too far in the distance and the situation was too badly becloud- ed to enable any man to talk definitely It seemed to him that Harrison or Ali son would be nominated for the presi- dency. Harrison seemed to be the most available man. Of Allison he thought very highly. He had served in the sen- ate with him for twenty years. He could not venture a prophecy as to the nomi- nee of the democracy. In 1896.
 Senator Morgan is looking exceedingly well. His face is ruddy and full of the color of health. He has had pleasant, as we'll as a quiet time of it in Pennsylva- mia this year. He is preparing for very busy session of congress"
