1t is a question whether any party
other than the Democratic could have
retained such vitality as was indi-
Gated in Tuesdays elections. In
similar circumstances we believe tho
Republican organization would have
been hopelessly dislocated. Mr..
Cleveland left the Democracy divided
against itself in 1896. The war with
Spain, two years later, and the popu-
lar enthusiasm which followed equip
ped the Republicans for an even
greater victory in 1900. The leader
ship of Mr.. Bryan added a fresh ele-
ment of strength to his antagonists
The new conditions brought about by
the war and the vast we've of public
sentiment favoring acquisition, COM
mercial and territorial expansion-all
these attracted thousands to the Re
publican standard. Party lines were
broken down in the novel fervor of an
infamed patriotism, aud every emo
ton of which the human heart i.
capable conspired to isolate the Dem
ocratic party from the sympathies OF
the American people.
Yet it now appears that many hun
dreds of thousands of voters saw
their way clear to supporting the
organization without forfeit of any
wholesome patriotic conviction. The

RAYNER'S ORATORICAL TRIUMPH
Atlanta Constitution.


We heartily join in the chorus of
praise which the country at large is
bestowing upon Hon. 1sidor Rayner
for his superb conduct of the case Of
Admiral Schley before the recent
court of inquiry in Washington.
From first to last Mr.. Rayner dis
played the acumen Of an accomplished
lawyer by the manner in which he
sifted the testimony brought out in
open court, and by the clever dexter
itv with which he thwarted the efforts
Of counsel on the other side to mini
miZe the heroic part which Admiral
Schley took in the battle off Santiago.
But great as was the ability which
Mr.. Rayner displayed in this part of
the proceedings, he plucked still
greater honors from his superb ora
torical effort At the close. When he
arose to address the court the odds
were heavily against him. Mr..
Hanna and Capt. Parker had both
spoken at great length and had severe
ly taxed the patience of the specta-
tors, and in going over the same
ground again he was called upon to
face an ordeal from which he had
good cause to shrink. But he was
equal to the emergency which con-
fronted him, and no sooner had he
commenced to speak than it became
evident to every one that an orator
was addressing the court, the electri-
cal spell of whose eloquence recalled
the forensic achievements of the re-
public's earlier days, and many who
had slept soundly through the pre-
ceding speeches were now eagerly
bending forward to catch the faintest
sound of the speakers voice. Every
incident of the battle was invested
with renewed interest, and even the
| dry matters of naval routine were
made to take on fresh life. From ar
oratorical standpoint alone the
achievement is one of which the dis
tinguished advocate may we'll be
| proud.
At the bar of Maryland Mr.. Raynel
has long been a conspicuous figure
| but he now becomes commanding
personality before the eyes of thu
whole country.

GOOD FOR HON. ARTHUR P. COR.
MAN!
Norfolk Virginian-Pilot.

Norfolk Virginian-Pilot.
Hon. A. p. German is no saint in
politics, to be sure, but he is far and
away better man than some OF
those who have been loudest in abuse
and denunciation Of him-who have
sought to make him a monster of
political iniquity with which t.
brighten the thoughtless voter. Ever
since 1896 he has been bounded and
villitied by practically the whole press
of Baltimore because he declined to
join in the bolt that lost Maryland to
the party in that year.
The net result is the election of a
Legislature that will return Mr.. Cor
man to the United States Senate.
Maryland has been once more re-
deemed for the Democratic party and
no man in the State deserves so much
credit for it as Mr. German who or
ganized and directed the campaign.
With his return to the Senate,
Maryland will once more be repre-
sented by man of National promi.
hence and the Democratic forces in
the Senate will be REINFORCED bv one
of the shrewdest heads in the country
His triumph in his own State will also
make Of Mr.. German a large factor in
national politics
