and being a native son. this short biog-
raphy Is more interesting as an example Of
what integrity and steadfastnesS of purpose
will do in hewing out an honorable career
than If cut out by wealth or other fortunate
circumstances in the beginning. Mr.
Campbell comes from a family of lawyers.
His father, Alexander Campbell. was
leading member of the Brooklyn Bar in the
State of New York until in 1S49, the pioneer
year, he turned his face toward the land of
the setting sun and came to California. For
more than forty years his name has been
known throughout the entire Pacific Coast
as distinguished criminal lawyer. James
Campbell, an uncle, was also leading
member OF the New York Bar, and several
other relatives throughout the different
States OF the Union are pow honOFed menu
bers OF the same profession. Mr.. Campbell
was educated at the Jesuit College in this
city and also in Santa Clara, and early gave
promise Of that logical mind with which he
is to-day endowed. His legal career as q
student was started in the Office of his
father in this city and completed at Albany,
n. Y, in the law department of Union
University. In 1872 he was admitted to the
bar by the Supreme Court of this State, and
al once began to carve the honorable name
for himself which he to-day holds. While
general practitioner, he has made
specially of criminal law. and is recognized
by both bench and bar as being one Of
the s0undeSt and most erudite criminal
lawyers in California. He seems TO have
the happy faculty OF getting at the gist of
case and marshaling the facts in such
clear, logical and forcible style that he at
once enlists the sympathy or prejudice Of
his hearers at will. He is noted as verdict
getter. and invariably carries the jury with
him. He was Assistant District Attorney
during the administration of the Hon.
James d. Page, and was reappOinted to the
same position by the present District At
tOrney, the Hon. William S. Barnes. For
some time he had con iemplated a return to
practice, and on the 1st of June last ten
dered his resignation to Mr.. Barnes, and
after much reluctance it was accepted. In
politics he is a sound Republican, and the
fact that he has been delegate to nearly
every State and Municipal Convention for
the past eighteen years, is ample evidence
of the confidence reposed in him by his
party. Mr. Campbell is a member Of Cali

breadth of view that has characterized him
as a man; gave to his physical nature
bravery, to his mental nature bOldness OF
thought TO young men of spirit the mar
velOus stories from California come with
irresistible effect, and young Raymond
soon yielded to their influence. lie came
to this State across the plains in 1852 after
an exceedingly rough experience. For some
years after arriving in this State he was en-
gagged in business, and in 1859 he entered
into the study and practice of the law with
the Hon. James A. Johnson, a[terWard
Lieutenant-GOgernOr of this State, and
Judge Alexander W. Baldwin. afterward
United States District Judge of Nevada. In
the legal profession his upward flight was
rem arkable, carrying him to the highest
point then achieved within the first year of
his new life. The position thus early
gained he has never lost. His reputation
widened as time passed by, until 1t became
more than national. His later arguments
especially dealing, as most OF them do, with
the broadcast questions Of constitutional
law, have engaged the study of lawyers and
statesmen in every part of the world. Mr..
Raymond first won his spurs in criminal
cases, and he has been engaged in most of
the remarkable trials that have taken place
in this State. Though he may be said to
belong in the best sense TO the old school OF
lawyers, his mental trend is altogether pro-
gressiye. He accepts the maxim, "A great
lawyer should always be away ahead of the
books" Mr.. Raymond has been called, and
deseryedly so, ''lhe father of the Codes
of California. He did most of the work in
connection with this great undertaking.
Mr.. Raymond was for a long time Colonel
of the First Artillery Regiment. National
Guard of California. but is now ON the re-
tired list Mr.. Raymond has never
been an office-seeker, but has given
active assistance in every cam
paign to the cause he championed.
He served two sessions in the State Senate,
being elected in 1875 from Sacramento
County. In that body he achieved distinc-
ton as a speaker and worker. He took an
active part in land reforms and the labor
agitation and Chinese questions. As a de-
batter he stands at the head. Our system of
irrigation owes its origin TO MIR. Raymond.
Had he not been lawyer of pre-eminent
abilities he would not have been retained
to watch over the interests of the Southern
Pacific Railroad Company. His speech de-
livered at Washington during the past year
was a most able and exhaustive answer to
misstatements and falacies of the enemies
of this great corporation. 1t was acknowl-
edged to have been a masterpiece of terse
and logical reasoning. He was one Of the
California Republican delegation to the
Chicago convention which did such efficient
work in securing the nomination of Gen.
eral Harrison He is great lawyer and a
genial gentleman.

the esteem and respect of his professors

We have had able lawyers and wise
statesmen, but few others of our citizens
have, to like degree, combined the maker
as well as the Interpreter of law. This
brilliant bar-leader has won distinction in
the high places Of national observation, and
almost every year of the States history
since he attained manhood bears the I'M
press of his vigorous mind. AS a political
leader and as an orator he is among the very
first He is as ready in addressing rugged
mountain audience as he is in a passionless
argument before the Supreme Court Of the
United States, ana in every political cam

conspicuous figure.
Mr.. Raymond was born in Beverly. Ram

father, the Hon. w. c. Raymond, was dis

son was inspired by a love for the law that
