SENATOR MORGAN TO SUCCEED SHERMAN Alnbama Forsign souri's Senat Member Wil Get the elations Chatemanship - Mis- - What Appoint= s Provided Tadis “ Fonit Som; WasmiNGray, D C., Nov. 15.—[Special to Tur. Bem | In tho reorganization of the senate immeaiately after the 4th of March next, there can be but little doubt as to who will bo the promier of that body, Senator Sherman, who now practically controls the foreign policy, so far as the sonato is con- corned, will bo succeeded by Senator John T. Morgan, of Selma, Ala. Although Sona tor Morgan has never occupicd any diplo- matic position he hus made the foreign re- lations ot the country his espocial study, and ft is conceded that ho is 1n this respuct the best equipped democrat in who senate. Ths best evidenco ol his ability lies in the fact that President Hurri- son selected Mr. Morgan to be one of the Berlng sea arbiters, Tne new chairman of the foreign relations committes was a “‘rebel brigagier” in the literal sense of the word, haviog joined the contedorate army as & vrivate aud loft it as a brigadier geueral; butin allof uis speechos Mr. Morgan has always shown that ho can riso abovo varty and sectionniism, so that Senator Sterman will have as his suceessor in the chairmut #bip of that committec as able a man as it is possible for tha damocratio party to furnish.

It is the gencral be- lief that Mr. Ciorman wiil modestly resume hisold chuiruanship of the cominittoe on printing, and will hereafter divido h's time between editing (he Congressioual Directory and chopving off republican heuds in tho government printing oftice. If ho aceepts this chairmenship the first head to fall under his kecn guillotino will ve that of W. H Michael, the present editor of the Directory, who, as comuander of the local post of tho League of Union Vetsrans, 1ssued a general order just befora the recent etection in which he calied unon all members of the order to support President Harrison, and di- ected attention to Mr. Cleveland’s pension record. Race for the Fluance Committee, There will be a dignitied scramble between Senators Voorhees of ludiaus ana Carhisle of Kentucky for the chairmanship of the finavce committee, which in the senate takes charge of all revenuo bills, The differenco veen tho two gentlomen 18 that Senator Voorhees knows practicaily nothing ubout the tariff, but stauds at tho head of the com. mitte2, whils Mr. Carlisle knows ull acout the dem side of the tariff, but stands atthe footof the democratic’ side of the committee. 1t cau be said of Senator Voor- nces, howoever, that ho has made a 1o study of the currency question, having been th first prominent man iu tho west Lo advocate, analf contury ago, an unlimited issuo of grosnbacks ana froo coinago of silver. It may bo that Mr. Voorhees will be given a chinee to expiain his record upon greenback, silver and other currency before the chair’ man of finance is selected Senator Voorhees' colleague, Davia Turpie, is slated by popular opinion for tho cuairmanship of the panstons com mittee, of which ho is at prosent the ranking democrat Senator Gieoree Graham Vest of Kansas City, Mo., wiil probably ve ehairman of the ommittes on public Luildings and grounds, now presided over by Millonairo Lelaud Stanford of California, Senator Calvin 8.
