and in 18C8 entered St. John's College, where he graduated
four years later with the degree of A. B., carrying off the
highest honors of the class. In 1874 he graduated from
the law department of the University of Maryland, stand-

Democratic National Convention at Chicago. He again
was a delegate in 1892. In 1889 he was elected to the

Service Reform Association of Maryland, and is also vice-
president of the Maryland State Bar Association. He was
•elected member of the House of Delegates in 1897.
