STOLE THE SENATOR'S SPEECH.
An Amusing Incident of the Campaign
of 1870,

An Amusing Incident of the
of 1876.
Back in the campaign of 1876, says a
writer in the Chicago Record, l was making
a tour of the west with Oliver p. Morton
and George Sheridan, one of the brightest
speakers the American platform has ever
known, who accompanied him to do the
funny business" Senator Morton would
usually talk for an hour-a dull, turgid,
heavy discussion of the financial problem,
followed by an attack upon the democrats
of the south for their inhuman treatment
Of the negro. By the time he had finished
the audience would be soaked with wise
advice and valuable information, but every
spark of enthusiasm would be quenched.
Then George Sheridan would take the plat
form and wake them up. For an hour they
would roar with laughter or sit with their
mouths open, fascinated by his flights OF
fancy. 1t was a rare combination.
One night, after we had been out for a
couple of weeks, 1 think at Fort Wayne,
Sheridan said: Senator, I wish you would
let me speak first tonight; l want to go out
into the country with some friends"
"Al right replied Senator Morton, cheer
fully. you arrange it with the chairman
of the meeting"
But when Sheridan took the platform and
began to deliver Morton's speech, word for
word. as the latter had delivered 1t every
night for a fortnight, the senator became
very uneasy. He gave all Morton's argu-
ments against the imitation OF the currency
and in favor of the resumption of specie pay
ments: he recited all the statements con-
corning the outrages in the south: he re-
heated all of the personal "reminiscences OF
his experiences as governor OF Indiana dur
ing the war. which the senator was ac-
customed to work in, until the latter was
almost paralyzed with chagrin and amaze
ment; and finally, when he reached a point
in the discussion of the financial problem
where Morton was accustomed to compare
a Pompeiian gold coin with a United States
greenback. he turned to the astonished
victim of this practical joke and said In an
undertone: Lets have that coin" The
senator handed it over without a murmur,
and, when Sheridan had recited the eloquent
peroration which he always used at the
close of his speech and had taken his seat,
Senator Morton hobbled over to the desk on
his two canes and said:
Ladies' and Gentlemen: ! am the victim
of a practical joke. Realizing the gravity
of the issues before the American people,
| came into this campaign with a carefully
prepared speech, which / have delivered In
General Sheridan's hearing so often that he
has committed II to memory, and he has
delivered II. He also is in the habit OF
making the same speech, and ! have heard
II many times, but / lack his memory, and
could not repeat II to save my life. VIII
therefore appeal to him not to punish you
as he has punished me, but to give us some
of his stories"
Then the great statesman sat down,
thoroughly knocked out. Sheridan re-
sponded, and spoke half an hour longcE
with his joke as his text, and after that II
any one suggested his speaking first Senator
Morton would tell this story.
