JACKSONVILLE, FLA, April l6-To-day's
democratic convention was a screaming
farce, and the ants claim victory The
temporary organization was effected with
w. Mel. Dancy as chairman. The COM
mittee on credentials had before it evidence
Of fraud, and il reported in favor Of new
primaries and new convention. The self~
styled convention ignored the report Of the
committee, declared it dissolved before it
reported. and made permanent organiza-
ton as the convention stood. The action
was considered so undemocratio that some
OF the straightouts left in disgust. The
farcical convention proceeded to nominate
an entire list Of delegates and a Mitchell
delegation to Tampa. The old executive
committee Immediately issued a call for
new primaries and a convention. The re-
suit will be two county tickets in the field
and two delegations TO Tampa.

and OF great depth. The foundation is Of stone,
which comes from various parts of the estate,
and which is admirable for building purposes.
THE PLANS on A MAGNIFICENT SCALE
The house is to be. according to Mr.. Wander
bilt. the most beautiful one in the world. and
before a line OF the plans had been drawn
thousands OF dollars had been expended in get
ting together ideas, he having travelled through
the old country studying the various structures
OF the present day and those Of centuries past,
combining the present styles OF architecture
with those of the fifteenth century and arriving
at the conclusion that such a combination
would suit him, the plans were prepared for
the French of the fifteenth century with some
few additions of the twentieth.
All that money can do in making the house
and grounds complete in every respect is being
done. 1t Is impossible for any one who has
not visited the place to form the faintest idea
of the magnitude of the undertaking. OF the
vastuess of the estate, OF the millions to be
spent before the house is ready tor occupancy.
The contracts for the house have hot all been
given as yet, but estimates are being furnished
from contractors all over the country and ii
Is thought that it will be five years before the
last contractor can leave the mansion, and then
the furnshers and decorators will occupy year
or more in doing their share Of the work.
