The Bolivar Bulletin.
Hugh Williams, Editor.
Pbogkess Telephone No. 17.
Friday, November 15, 1901.
The new constitution of
Alabama has been ratified bv
the peojle. This means,
among otlier things, that
ninety-five per cent, of the
present negro vote of that
state will be eliminated.
Through the influence of
the management of St. Kath
arine's, several high-class lit
erary lectures will soon be
delivered here, which wiil
prove beneficial to all who
attend. St. Katharine's is
doing noble work in educa
tional matters, the founda
tion for good citizenship, and
deserves the hearty coopera
tion and support of our peo-
pie.
In the counties where
Democratic Executive Com
mittees have acted, there are
a number of candidates for
the different county offices.
In Hardeman, so far, candi
dates have announced for
only two out of the five po
sitions to be filled; hence we
can see no reason at present
for action on the part of our
committee in regard to the
matter. Should it become
necessary, however, the mem
bers of the committee, all of
whom are good democrats,
who can be depended upon
at any and all times to zeal
ously guard the party's wel
fare, will act and act prompt-
Bolivar will be visited
Saturday morning by a dele
gation of business men and

business, become acquainted
with their customers bring
ing about a closer relation
ship between the buyer, sell
er and consumer which can
but have a healthy and happy
result. These gentlemen
will remain in our city only
for a short time, less than
one hour. We must make
their stay as pleasant as pos
sible, and with this end in
view, the citizens of the
neighborhood are requested
to come in early Saturday
mornincr and meet and assist
us in the entertainment of f

Gen. Rayner's Eloquent Plea in
Defense of Admiral Schlet.
Washington, Nov. 6. The cli
max of the Schley inquiry came
this afternoon, when Mr. Rayner,
chief couusel for Admiral Schley,
concluded a brilliant arsrument ofi
over three hours with a peroratiou
so eloquent and impassioned that
all within the sound of his voice
were profoundly touched.
This remarkable trial, he said,
sought to condemn the man who had
brought to a successful termination
as great a naval triumph as was
ever won. In vivid colors he
painted the picture of the Brooklyn,
with Commodore Schley on the
bridge, fighting the entire Spanish
fleet until the Oregon appeared out
of the smoke.
The thunders of the Brooklyn,
music for the ears of his country
men, he said, ' aroused Admiral
Schley's envious foes. He pictured
the victorious sailor, suffering as
few have suffered for three long
years, while the fires of persecution
leaped around him, and now await
ing the h'our of his vindication in
the verdict of the court.
"Aod when it comes," he con
cluded, "he can, from the high and
exalted position that he occupies.
look down upon his traducers and
maligners and with excellent pride
exclaim:
' 41 care not tor the venomous
gossip of clubs, drawing-rooms and
cliques and the poisoned shafts of
envy and of malice. I await, under
the guidance of Divine Providence,
the verdict of posterity.
The scene in the courtroom as he
finished with these words was thril
ling, lhe attendance had been
large all day, ana at the morning
session a lady had fainted from ex
citement. As Mr. Rayner began
his eulogy of Admiral Schley those
in the audience, manv of whom
were ladies, leaned forward iu their
seats. The spell of his oratory was
over them, and when he .described
the Admiral's gallant deeds and the
loug persecution to which he had
been subjected manv of them broke
down and wept.
The members of the court dis
played evidences of emotion, and
Admiral Schley himself was plainly
moved. He sat, leaning back, with
his hands behind his head. His
chin twitched, and as his counsel
said he could afford to await the
verdict of posterity, two big tears
rolled down his cheeks. He moved
uneasily to conceal his emotion, aud
under the pretense of adjusting his
glasses, brushed the tears aside
For full thirty seconds after Mr.
tiavner closeu, tueie. was not a
sound. Then the tension broke in
a loud burst of applause. Admiral
Dewey, after about a half minute,
arose to remind the spectators that
such a demonstration was out of
place. A moment afterward the
court adjourned, the Judge Advo
cate pleading that he could not well
go on to-day. Another remarkable
thing happened. As soon as the
gavel fell the entire audience surged
forward to shake the bands of
Admiral Schley aud Mr. Rayner.
But the oncoming spectators fell
back a moment as they saw Admiral
Dewey aud his two assistants move
around the table, as if by a common
impulse, and congratulate Admiral
Schley aud his couusel. Iveu
Captain Lemly, the Judge Advocate,
came lorward to loin in the con
gratulations. Then the public had
its inning, and for fifteen minutes
after the court adjourned Admiral
Schley and Mr. Rayner were kept
busy shaking hands.
Mr. Rayner closed as follows:
"I now have briefly presented
this case as it appears to me in its
general outline. Such a trial as
this has never, to my knowledge,
taken place iu the history of the
world. It seems to my mind that
this case had hardly opened with
the testimony of Captain Higgiuson
before it commenced to totter, aud
from day to day its visionary fabric
dissolved from view. When Captain
Cook, their last witness, was put
upon the stand, the entire structure
collapsed, and now, when the wit
nesses from our own ships and the
gallant Captain and crew of the
Oregon and Admiral Schley have
narrated their unvrnished tale, the
whole tenement, with all of its
compartmeats, from its foundation
to its turret, has disintegrated and
lies here like a mass of blackened
ruins.
4,It has taken three years to re
veal the truth. There is not a
single word that has fallen from
the tongue of a single witness, friend
or foe, that casts the shadow of a
reflection upon the honored name ol
the hero of Santiago. lie has
never claimed the glory of that day.
No word to this effect has ever gone
forth from him to the American
people. The valiant Cook the
heroic Clarke, the lamented Philip,
the intrepid and undaunted Wain
wright, and all the other captains,
and every man at every gun and
every soul on board of every ship
were equal participants with
Admiral Schley in the honor
wrought upon that immortal day.
"We cannot strike down his
figure. Thera he stands upon the
bridge of the Brooklyn, his ship
almost alone receiving the entire
fire of the Spanish foe until the
Oregon, as if upon the wings of
lightning, sped into the thickness
of this mortal carnage. 4God bless '
the Oregon' was the cheer that rang
from deck to deck, and on they .
went, twin brothers in the chase, (
until the lee gun Was fired from the."
ffiVPf ruey a light MW
mUvMVV,l"t- no odor. f&ks?':
Cristobol Colon and the despotic
colors of Spain were swept from
the face of her ancient possessions.
44 4Well done; congratulate you
on the victory,' was the streamer
that was bent from the halyard of
the Brooklyn, and from that day to
this no man has ever heard from
Admiral Schley the slightest whis
per or intimation that he usurped
the glory of that imperishable hour.
The thuuders of the Brooklyn as
she trembled on the waves have
been discordaut music to the ears of
envious foes, but they have pierced
with a ringing melody the ears of
his countrymen and struck a respon
sive chord at the fire-side of every
American home.
4 'And what is more than all
which has beeu revealed in this case,
as matchless as is his courage and
as unsullied as is his honor, is his
beautiful character and the generous
spirit that animates his soal and
the forgiviug heart that beats with
in his bosom, "ies, we cannot
'strike him down. Erect he 6tands
as ih 3 McGregor when his step was
on his native heather and his eye
was on the peak of Ben Lomond.
His country does not want to strike
him down nor cast a blur on the
pure escutoheon of his honored
name.
"For three lon years he has suf
fered, and now, thank God, the
hour of his vindication has come.
With composure, witli resignation,
with supreme and unfaltering for
titude, he awaits the judgment of
this illustrious tribunal, and when
that deliverance comes he can, from
the hiph and exalted position that
he occupies, look down upon his
traducers and maligners and with
exultant pride exclaim:
" 44 I care not for the venomous
gossip ot clubs and drawing-rooms
and cliques and cabals and the
poisoned shafts of envy and of
malice. I await under the guidance
of Divine Providence, the verdict
of posterity.' "
Mr. Rayner closed at 3:30 o'clock
having spoken about three hours.
The large audience broke into
applause, and the members of the
court, as well as others congratu
lated him upon his speech. Admiral
Schley was visibly affected by the
concluding remarks and attending
scenes.
