He was general counsel for many railroad interests, including those of Cornelius Vanderbilt. He campaigned for Lincoln, and knew every president thereafter, during his lifetime, pretty much on a first name basis.

These are four of his after dinner speeches, delivered during the period October, 1907 to January, 1908.
