His obituary in The Times lists him as an active member of the liberal party, and a great platform speaker.[6] He was listed in 1892[7] and in 1901 as secretary of the Home Rule Union.[4]
Morton underwent an operation in early autumn 1902, and left for his sister's residence at Amberley, Gloucestershire to recover. He died there on 3 October 1902.[6]
