Baltimore and sought admission to its bar.
tie continued his legal studies for brief
period in the law Office Of Brown & Bruno.
and in due course was admitted to practice.
Mr. Rayner is thorough and finished
student of his profession He is deeply
learned in the common law and in the deci-
sions of the courts OF Maryland and of the
United States. He is a fine special pleader
and has also remarkable memory for
cases. and from the thirtieth to the last
volume of the Maryland Reports there is
not a case which Mr. Rayner has not read.
At the trial table he shines most brilliant
ly. His speeches in court are clear, direct,
forcible and marked by eloquence not easy
to be eQualed.
Mr.. Rayners method of preparing his
more important legal arguments may best
be illustrated by Everett's description of
Mr.. Webster's state of mind as he sat an
hour and a half with him the evening be-
fore the reply to Hayne. 1.-The battle
had been fought and won within, upon the
broad field of his own capacious mind: for
il was Mr. Websters habit first to state to
himself his opponents argument in its ut
most strength and having overthrown 1t in
that form he feared the efforts of no other
anita goniSt."
His Defense of Schley.
1t was Mr.. Rayner's defense of Admiral
Schley that caused national wave of COM
menda ton. The inquiry is well remem-
bered.
The sudden death of Judge Jere M. VIII
son, senior counsel for Admiral Schley.
threw upon the Baltimore advocate the en-
tire burden of the case. He was not an ad-
miralty lawyer, but when the crucial no
ment came he was saturated with his sub
tect Laying down his copy of the specih-
cations he talked with alluring facility IN
pleasant tones until becoming warmed up
with earnestness. ne sneered at entangled
witnesses, scoffed at tricky memories LASH
ed as with scorpion whips the alleged
traducers of the man whose fame rang
around the earth.
National Commentator.
1t was a triumph worthy of the Forum.
From every point of the Union came con-
gratulations to the orator. His biography
was spread over the country by the news
papers. His picture was besought by wo-
men and men. His speech in PAM hlet
form was demanded of the public printers
by admirers miles and miles away from the
scene of its delivery. where interest ordi-
narily would seem slight. But with becom-
ing modesty he said THE occasion made
the speech. not the speech the occasion.

brought about such an overwhelming
victory for the Republican party and
Roosevelt, had their effect here, and
brought about a similar result. Ac-
cording to form Hawaii ought to
have gone Overwhelmingly Republican,
and she did. This is a pretty strong
argument against the charge of fraud
or coercion.
However there are lessons that the
Republicans ought to learn from the
election. One of these is that the party
in control of the election machinery is
held morally responsible not only for
motives and what it intends and at
tempts to do, but for possibilities. The
numbers on the ballots were placed
there for a legitimate purpose, and in
accordance with practice elsewhere.
But to leave them on the ballot opens
the door to such possibilities as the
American people in their temperament
for fair play do not approve. 1t was
the patent possibilities of numbered
ballots which We're the real strength of
the correspondence from here publish
ed in the New York Herald soon after
the election, against which so much
heat was exhibited. But the Repub-
licans having complete control of the
election machinery should have given
such complete and explicit Instructions
to election officials that there would
have been no failure in any precinct to
tear them off every ballot given out.
If this had been done even the appear
ance of evil would have been avoided.
II was not done, and the way was left
open for suspicious, partisan or bias
ed minds to enter the wide fields of i'm
agination Let the party, let the Ter
ritOry learn a lesson from this.
