How Senator
Morgan Does Politics.

The following from the Washington
Post shows the position o: Senator
Morgan in Alabama politics:
Editor Post: The services OF Sena-
tor Morgan to the whole country have
zen 50 conspicuous and efficient dur
iio long service of nearly quarter
q. a ceLtury in the Senate OF the
United States that 1t is not to be won.
dered at that deep interest is felt In
every section of the Union In his re-
turn to the Senate by the unanimous
vote Of his State, which he 80 richly de-
serves.
The Senate cannot show a more hon
est. conscientious, and laborious mem
Der than he; morning, noon, and night,
day In and day out, in the Senate and
1t his house in Washington, and even
turing his vacation, he may lie found
- ais desk doing his writing with his
own hands, as is well known.
Not an important piece of legisla-
ton seems to have escaped him. and a
recitation Of his labors and services
would be almost history of Congress
during his connection with II. For
eign relations, Cuba, Hawaii, the Mica
ragua Canal $50 important to Alabama
and her sister States OF the Gulf, the
Pacific railroads. Finance (see speech
January IA, 1896. before Chicago con.
vention), and many other important
measures, received his earnest and
thorough consideration, and in debate
thereon he never failed to show himself
a master-in word, "facile princeps"
II was on motion of Senator Morgan
that the committees of the Senate and
House were appointed to inquire into
the war resources Of the country, and
at the head Of one Of these he went to
San Francisco, with the result that our
navy was greatly strengthened by work
done there. Truly, Senator Morgan,
would his modesty allow, can claim to
be the father Of the new navy. with
much that that implies.
The following letter is characteristic
of the distinguished Alabamian:
Admission, Ala, Sept. 8, 1899.
Col. J. ID. Pennybacker:
Dear Sir: The anxiety of my friends
for my reelection is very gratifying to
me, and will save me from making a
personal canvass for that grea. office.
| have never done this, and never will.
IL / can serve the Democratic party
by speaking and working for It's sue
cess. ! will spare no labor that I can
perform In that effort, and IL the party
honors me with its support in turn I
snouid be proud Of such success. I
10 not wish to succeed leaving the flag
Of my party In the dust.
My course In the Senate has been q
faithful support Of the Democratic
oarty. II 1t has been unwise or inefii-
,ient. my party has failed to record its
| dissent; 30 I claim the honor of at
| least, faithful and satisfactory career
In the past, and believe have earned
| the confidence Of the Democrats OF Ala
5ama.
There are some dissensions I'm the
marty in Alabama, growing out Of per
sonal ambitions and jealousies. but the
real union and strength of the marty
was never greater. l see no symptom
that indicates the loss OF power and
prestige OF the party, nor Lave I
found, in the body OF the party, any in
dications that have not met their ex-.
pectations or have violated their poll
Giles or principles In my course In the
Senate.
| have never known the Democracy
OF Alabama to be more alert for sue
cess, and l am very proud OF the fact
that my reelection to the Senate seems
to be strong moving cause 10 this ac-
tivity. do not expect defeat unless
the Democratic party is beaten In Ala
bama. Sincerely yours,
JOHN T MORGAN.
Senator Morgan's Democracy is
above suspicion-it needs no defense
and Alabama cannot afford to fail to
sigDally honor him by her unanimous
Endorsement who has brought 30 much
honor to her, as well as to the whole
nation.
