Mr.. Rayner Notified.

Hon. Isidor Rayner was on Monday nigh
officially notified of bis election as United
States Senator. The notification took place
In the private parlors of the Hotel Belve.
dere, Baltimore city, where Mr.. Rayner has
apartments. The event was less in the ma.
ture Of formal proceeding than Of q very
pleasant social function, as Mr.. Rayner en-.
tertained the members of the notification
committee and few others at dinner. Del.
egate Amiss, of this county, was member
Of the committee.
The speeches were not at all formal, the
notification being made by Senator Gill, on
the part OF the Senate, and by Delegate
Bose, on the part Of the House.
Mr.. Rayner said In reply:
~ suppose, my friends, it is proper for me
to inform you that accept the office To
which you have notified me that l have been
elected. Senator Gill, who was my parlla-
mentary leader In the contest, will testify
that told him upon several occasions that
would accept the honor II the election re.
suited 10 my favor. He never entertained
any serious doubt upon the subject himself,
and do not think anyone else did who par.
ticipsted with Us in the battle that ragged for
three successive weeks at Annapolis. Now
that ii is over we can congratulate ourselves
that 1t has left no hearlburningS around the
camp.fres of the party.
81 shall never forget, so long as there Is
spark of gratitude In my bosom, the loyalty
and the heroism of the men who chung 70
me with unselish sacrifice through the
weary days OF this arduous struggle, and at
the same time have no hesitation In ex-
pressing my sincere admiration and respect
for the men who were arrayed against me
and with equal loyalty supported the cause
OF my opponents. 1t Is all over now, we are
all friends just In the same way as II moth
ing had ever happened between Us, and l
assure you that do not harbor the slightest
feeling Of unkindness or resentment against
q single follower OF the fortunes OF my ad-
vegsaries.
II want to represent in the Senate the
whole Democratic party Of Maryland and
not throw the firebrands of discord In the
citadel Of Democracy. My contest was
among the people, and, recognizing no mas
ter except the people, i feel that as their pub
lie servant am under contract with them
TO execute their wishes and hope not to be
recreant to this trust and to see TO 1t that
not line or word Of that contract shall be
violated.
whenever II comes within my province
1t shall become my ambition In the Senate
to uphold and vindicate the principles OF
Democracy, and all that |
hope Tor Is that whatever services l may
render will receive the commentator Of a
State that shall take pride in representing
and of a people to whom am tied by every
bond of loyalty and affection that man

In loving but sad remembrance Of Mrs
Elizabeth <. Ayton, wife OF John Samuel
Ayton, who departed this life February 10th
1904, at 8 A. M. Gone but not forgotten.
In the grave yard softly sleeping,
Where the flowers gently wave,
Lies our dear friend, who left Us weeping
In her lonely silent grave.
No more her cheerful smile we see,
Nor hear her welcome voice,
That always In our troubled hours
Would make our hearts rejoice.
Plant sweet flowers on her grave,
Her soul 10 heaven, though her body
lies silent here,
Over her silent body let them wave,
Water the flowers on her grave with a
tear
By friend.
