shortly afterward.
All of the remaining delegations de-
parted on Saturday evening, and with
the exception of the national commit
tee headquarters nothing was left to-
day to indicate that there had been any
convention. Even the sign of the Ser
geant-at-Arms had been removed, al
though Col. Martin remained to finish
up some matters connected with closing
the convention.
The silver headquarters at the Sher-
man House were deserted. The BIZ
metallic Committee, their work being
accomplished, disbanded, and only
those who are members of the national
committee remained over. Hinrichsen,
with his cohorts, left on Saturday even
ing, as did also the most of the Vir-
ginia and South Carolina delegates.

linanians with the Tennessee dele

THE CANDIDATE.
William Jennings Bryan, the nominee
of the Democratic party for President

this afternoon on statesmen, politicians
and eager curiosity-seekers, and went
cut to quiet Oakwoods cemetery and
stood with uncovered head before the
grave of Lyman Trumbull, the man vino
had been his teacher and friend. When
MIR. Bryan turned away his eyes were
brimming with tears.

buried there" he said as he returned TO
the carriage and was driven back 10
