Descrição
Excerpt from Memorial Addresses on the Life and Character of Oliver P. Morton, (a Senator From Indiana, ): Delivered in the Senate and House of Representatives, January 17 and 18, 1878 The Senate, at the time, took note of his death and manifested its respect for him by the appointment of a committee to be present at his burial. The resolutions which I submit to day for the consideration of the Senate are designed to be placed upon the journals of Congress, there to remain for all time a record - monument to his memory. In moving these resolutions I do not expect to become his eulo gist. I feel that I am not suited to the task. We can all say that by his death a great name has been stricken from the roll of the Senate. Few, if any, filled so large a space in the public mind during the eventful period in our history which he lived. But the mellowing influence of time will have to cast its mantle over these events and the prominent part he took in them before a political opponent, and especially a citizen of his own State, can so far free his mind from the influences engendered by the political strifes as to be just, much less to be able to indulge in the pardonable license which sanctions the exaggeration of Virtues and high quality and hides, as if with a veil, all defects.
