interesting Eulogies by Men Whs
Knew Great Indiana Statesman.
cPxcrAL 10 THE PRkss.y

Washington, April 16.-The House de-
voted Saturday afternoon to the consider
alton of resolution accepting on behalf
of Congress the marble statue Of Oliver
p. Morton, recently placed In Statusry
hall BY the State of Indiana. Ihs pro-
oeedings took naturally the form of
eulogiss of the great war governor. and
were very Interesting. as.nearly all the
members who spoke were men who had
known personally, and more or less tnti-
matsly. this man Of whom they spoke.
Mr.. Alexander Of New York, formerly
Of Indianapolis, classed him with suoh
great figures Of th, war time. rs Chase Of
Ohio, Andrew of Massachusetts, and Fes-
sender Of Maine. Lincoln said Of him:
"Were I called on to name the civilian
who has rendered the greatest services to
the Union under the greatest din oulties,
should unhesitatingly name Governor
Morton. Indiana was seething with
opposition to the cause Of the Upion. and
her single hearted. brave and energetic
governor, labored day and night to keep
her quota Of troops In the field, rlsking
detraotion, perseo ution and assassination
even In his grsat work. Whom his work
was over aud the war was done. his over
tasked body yielded TO a stroke of para
lysis; but his mighty will prevailed even
then, and for eleven years be lived on, a
commanding figure In national politics.
Mr.. Alexander recalled an interesting
Incident of MIR. Morton's siDguiarly re.
tsntive memory. 1t related to the visit OF
a delegation from Indiana to Washington
during General Grants administration.
Mr.. Alexander was ons Of the party.

CURRENT COMMENT.
DEWEY'S CHANCE.
(Boston Advertiser. }

Certain optimistic friends Of Admiral
Dewey are trying to make out that
American history recalls number Of In
stan ces where men. whose chances seemed
no better than his at the outset, have re-
ceivsd nominations for the Presidency.
These friends have argued that public
opinion at Washington was just as POSI-
tive, few weeks before the oonven-
ton, that S. j. Tilden could never CAP
ture q national nomination In 1875, Ano
that Grover Cleveland could nok be con.
sidersd seriously In 1854 These cases do
not afford Just grounds for comparison.
Tilden had, In the management Of his
cam psign for the nomination, the assist
Apce OF some OF the shrswdest and strong
eat politicians In the Democratic party.
For Cleveland the popular demand In the
party Was too strong to be resisted. Up
to tina present time Dewey has neither
u popular demand nor . powerful politi-
cal junta behind him.
