Delegates Have Departed-Bryan
Has q Day of Rest.
CHICAGO, July 1.-THE last expiring
echoes of the convention crowds were heard
about the corridors Of the hotels today. The
first state delegation to leave was New York,
which gave up it's headquarters at the Palmer
house on Friday night, and Pennsylvania
followed shortly afterward.
All Of the remaining delegations departed
on Saturday evening, and with the exception
of the national committee headquarters. moth
ing was left today to indicate that there had
been any convention. Even the sign OF the
sergeant-at- at-arms had been removed, although
Col. Martin remained to finish up some mat
ters connected with closing the convention.
The silver headquarters at the Sherman
house were deserted. The bimetallic COM
mittee, their work being accomplished, dis
banded, and only those who are members OF
the national committee remained over. Hin
richsen, 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 Carolinians, with the
Tennessee delegates, staid over until 1880
this morning. Arkansas left on Saturday
evening.

Democratic national committee. completed
ment of last weeks convention yesterday,
and left for Philadelphia on the Pennsyl-
yania limited at $50 p. m.
The old subcommittee held a short session
at noon in Parlor Y, Palmer house, and ar
ranged matters SO that ex-Secretary Sheerin,
Col Eherley, Col. Martin and Mr.. Conda, the
architect, could settle all the billsl and turn
the books over to the new national commit
tee.
Col. Martin said he regretted exceedingly
the trouble that could not be avoided on the
first day, when the doors were not opened in
time for the people to go 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 sub-commit-
tee exonerated him. 1t was explained that
the keys to the Coliseum were not turned
over to him until nearly IL o'clock. instead
of at a. M, when he should have received
them.
A good deal OF fun was made over Col.
Martins medical staff, yet it seems he had
need Of it. During the convention, he said.
sixty persons were given treatment for one
cause or another. A good many women faint
ed. One man sustained q broken nose and
another got his ankle crushed. Several of
the delegates were overcome from the ex-
element. loss Of sleep and long sessions with
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 quiet Oakwood
cemetery and stood with uncovered head be-
fore the grave of Lyman Trumbull, the man
who had been his teacher and friend. When
Mr.. Bryan turned away, his eyes were brim-
ming with tears.
Amy distinction I may have gained,
owe in great part to the man who is buried
there" he said, as he returned to the car
rage and was driven back to town again.
Today was the first opportunity he has
had to rest since he started to Chicago over
a week ago to attend the convention which
was destined to name him as its candidate
for president. He spent 1t under the hos
