ST. LOUIS, June 4.-Secretary Bay
ard and his friends arrived at Columbia.
Mo. this morning. A crowd Ofcitizensa and
visitors met the gentlemen At the station.
and the procession started for the Univer-
sity, when the original marble tablet on
which is inscribed the memorable epitaph
OF Thomas jefferson was unveiled. Senator
Vest delivered an Grafton on Thomas Je1er-
son. When Mr.. Vest closed calls were made
for Secretary Bayard, who delivered long
and carefully prepared speech on the life
and services OF Thomas Jefferson.
In the course of his remarks, referring TO
the relations OF Alexander Hamilton and
Jefferson, Mr.. Bayard related an incident of
the presidential election In 800, when the
election was thrown into Congress and the
tie between jefferson and Burr was decided
by the vote of Delaware, cast by Bayard's
grandfather. His grandfather was Fede-
ralist, but took counsel with Hamilton and
cast the vote OF his State for Jefferson, his
political opponent
Mr.. Bayard then continued: Therefore
when We look 10 the past for lessons and
true history let us not fail to respect the
dignity Of the men Of that day. They did
differ in counsel they did differ In theory.
but they did not differ in one great end for
which all Governments were Intended
the happiness, Advancement, and welfare
of the human species. Therefore. while
We may and ought TO draw fcarlessly
the truth from every lesson in the past and
look at its teachings uuilinchingly, let us
also remember with thankfulness and pride
that in this American nation there fingers
something stronger than party that over
rides personal ambitions, that where q
dread crisis approaches II teaches the Amer
lean man TO put beneath his feet unworthy
and small thoughts and To rise TO the dignity
Of his country's demands. tApplause.l The
spirit that existed I'm 1900 showed Itself in
1876. There was a time that more than one
halfof this people felt that they had been
wronged in the results of an election. but
