The last expiring echoes Of the con-
vention crowds were heard about the
corridors Of thejhotels today. The first
state delegation to leave was New
York, which gave UP its headquarters
at the Palmer house on Friday night,
and Pennsylvania followed shortly af-
terward. All of the remaining delega-
tions departed on Saturday evening,
and. with the exception Of the national
committee headquarters. nothing was
left today to indicate that there had
been any convention. Even the sign of
the sergeant-at-armsh had been removed,
although Col. Martin remained to finish
UP some matters connected with clos
ing the convention.
The silver headquarters at the Sher-
man house were deserted. The bimetal-
lie committee, their work being accom-
plished. disbanded. and only those who
are members Of the national committee
remained over. Hinrichsen with his
cohorts left on Saturday evening. as
did also the most Of the Virginia and
South Carolina delegates. Senator TILL
man and the North Carolina and Ten
nessee delegates stayed over until this
morning. Arkansas left on Saturday
evening. William F. Harrity, ex-chair-
man Of the Democratic national COM
mittee, completed his labors in connec-
ton with last weeks convention yes
terday and left for Philadelphia at $50
p. m.
The old subcommittee held q short
session at noon in parlor 7, Palmer
house, and arranged matters so that ex-
Secretary sheerin, Col. Sherley. Col.
could settle all bills ana turn the books
over to the new national committee.
Col. Martin said he regretted exceed
ingly the trouble that could not be avoid
ed on the first day. when the doors
were not opened in time for, the people
to 60 into the Coliseum without waiting.
and for which the blame was all heaped
upon his shoulders. He was not to
blame. he said, and the subcommittee
exonerated him. It was claimed that
the keys to the Coliseum were not turned
over to him until nearly ~ o'clock, in
stead OF 3 q. m, when he should have
received them. t TX.
A good deal Of fun was made over
Col. Martins medical staff, yet 1t seemed
he needed It. During the convention, he
said, sixty persons were given treat
ment for one cause or another. A good
many women tainted. One mani sus-
tanned Q broken nose and another got
his ankle crushed. Several Of the dele
gates were overcome with excitement,
loss Of sleep and long sessions without
anything to eat, and were treated by
the physicians in charge.
William Jennings Bryan. the nominee
Of the Democratic party for president
OF the United States, turned his back
this afternoon on statesmen, politicians
and eager curiosity seekers and went
out to the quiet Oakwood cemetery and
stood. with uncovered head. before the
grave Of Lyman Trumbull, the man
who had been his teacher and friend.
When Mr.. Bryan turned away his eyes
were brimming with tears.
ANY distinction I may have gained
owe in great partito the man who is
buried there" he said, as he turned to
the carriage and was driven back to the
city again.
Today was the first opportunity Mr.
Bryan has had to rest since, he started
to Chicago over q week ago to attend
the convention that was destined to
name him as its candidate for president.
He spent It under the hospitable roof Of
the Trumbull homestead, at 4016 Lake
avenue.
The candidate recovered some Of his
lost strength by sleeping until well to-
ward noon. After dinner he sat on the
vine-clad porch and looked across the
blue waters Of the lake. Some of the
neighbors called and chatted with Mr..
Bryan and Senator Jones and the, vice
presidential nominee, Mr.. Sewall, drove
out and paid short visit.
George Sternsdorf, who Is an old
friend OF Mr. Bryan in Nebraska, drove
over and took the candidate and his wife
driving over the South Side boulevards.
After they returned Mr.. John Trum-
bull took Mr.. Bryan in his carriage out
to Oakwood cemetery, where they paid
visit to the grave Of Lyman Trumbull.
In the evening Mr.. Bryan and his wife
and the members Of the Trumbull fam
lily sat in the library chatting.
Mr.. Bryan and his wife remained at
the Trumbull residence until the de-
parture Of their train at o'clock for
Salem. The candidate will come down.
town tomorrow evening to attend the
meeting Of the notification committee
at the Palmer housejah9 o'clock. He will
then return to the Trumbull house and
depart from the Illinois Central depot.
Mr.. Bryan's originals intention was to
remain In Salem a week and take the
rest he SO much needed, but he said to-
night:
After all, I find will have only day
or two to spend at Salem, although I
would like to stay much longer. From
Salem I will go direct to Lincoln,
Neb. From there will go to Omaha,
and then to New York, to receive the
notification committee. I do not think
the 21st will be the date fixed for meet
ing the committee in New York. A day
week or SO later will probably be fixed
on"
