suitable candidates for the presiden-
tial nomination.
The governor of Maryland, who is a
republican, probably will appoint a
republican successor. The legislature,
which is democratic, does not meet
this winter.
The Illness of neuritis covers a per-
iod of nearly five years. Complica-
tions began about six weeks ago and
the serious Illness dates from that
time. Before Rayner entered congress
he attained a national reputation be-
cause of his vigorous conduct of the
late Admiral Schley's case before the
naval court of inquiry.
ONE AOVE MAJORITY.
Control of the United States senate
after March 4 may hinge on the death
of Rayner. While the democrats still
have an apparent strength of AS, the
death of the Maryland senator reduc-
es the supposed majority to a point
very near the dividing line of party
control.
With Rayner's vote, democratic
leaders counted on mastering 49, or
one more than a majority of the total
membership Of SO. In any event, As

dent in case of a tie, was looked upon
as sufficient strength TO secure conf
