Morris served in the Connecticut House of Representatives from 1855 until 1856, 1870, 1876, 1880 and in 1881. He was probate judge from 1857 until 1863, and served in the Connecticut Senate in 1874.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://politicalgraveyard.com/bio/morris.html#257.67.19 )〕 He served as President pro tempore of the Connecticut Senate.

As Governor of Connecticut from January 4, 1893 until January 9, 1895, Morris was the only member of the Democratic Party to hold the governorship between 1885 and 1911. During his governorship, Morris advocated for constitutional amendments in the election laws, but failed to get the appropriate legislation passed. His popularity eroded due to the bleak financial depression that overwhelmed the state, and he did not seek reelection.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.nga.org/cms/home/governors/past-governors-bios/page_connecticut/col2-content/main-content-list/title_morris_luzon.html )〕 After leaving office, Morris returned to his law practice.
