and such was their strength and the pop
ular feeling for him that on the first ballot
he stood next to Hancock, who was elected
on the second.
In the democratic convention of 1854, at
which Mr. Cleveland was nominated, Mr..
Bayard received the next largest vote to
the successful candidate on the two ballots
which were taken.
AS soon as the result of the national cleo
ton Of 1884 was positively known, Mr.. Bay
ard was the first democratic statesman ln-
yitcd to consult with President-elect CleVe-
land, and it was generally understood that
ne was the first man offered place In the
new cabinet-and the leading place at that.
This he finally accepted, although, ii Is
said he was strongly advised by leading
democrats not to enter the cabinet at all,
a. his departure from the Senate would
tend to weaken the strength of the party
in that body.
At the close Of Mr. Cleveland's admin
istration Mr.. Bayard returned to private
life and to his legal profession. In March.
1898, Mr.. Bayard was appointed ambassa-
dor to the court of St James, and served
during Mr.. Cleveland's second term.

first year of his term as Secretary of State
Four years later he was married to Miss

OVERCOME BY GRIEF.
Edward Brooks, Il Weii-KnOwn Resi-
dent. Commits Suicide.


Unable to longer bear up under the grief
caused by the death of his wife, four years
ago, Mr. Edward Brooks. an aged and
well-known resident of this city, took his
own life yesterday afternoon in Glenwood
cemetery.
The dead body of Mr.. Brooks was found
at 40 D m. by James Johnson and Walter
Mcdonald, two of the workmen employed
at the cemetery. 1t was lying upon the
ground with a large revolver near by.
From the weapon one of the cartridges had
been fired, and a hole in the side of Mr..
Brooks head muteiy told what mad become
of the bullet.
AS quickly as possible, after being identi-
fed, the body was taken to Cams under
taking establishment, where 1t was pre-
pared for burial. Coroner Carr was noti-
fed, and, after hearing a statement of the
circumstances of the death, decided that an
inquest was unnecessary. Mr.. Brooks leaves
three sons.
The funeral will take place tomorrow
morning, and the services will be private.
Mr.. brooks had been very deSpOndeut
since the death of his wife, as stated. To
the latter he was devoted, aud her loss
was to him irreparable. Recently he was
seized with rheumatism, and his SufferinSS
from that added to the grief OF his DereaEe
ment and, it is believed. unbalanced his
mind.
The deceased was native of Tappahan-
mock county, Va, where he was born July
4, 1915 He came to Washington in 1890 and
was married in 1858. The following year he
opened a grocery store at No. 49, Sd street
northwest which he conducted UP to the
time OF his death. D !
The funeral services will be conducted at
IL o'clock tomorrow morning by Rev. Dr.
J. J. Muir, pastor ofu Street Baptist
Church. and the funeral will be private.

When the war of the rebellion began
Mr.. Bayard was pursuing his profession.
With the first mutterngs of war the people
of Wilmington set about establishing means
of self protection. A militia company was
organized and Thomas F. Bayard was
elected it's first lieutenant. In June, 1861
the famous peace meeting of citizens was
held at Dover, and Lieutenant Bayard was
one of the principal speakers. He de-
nounced the war, and his remarks on that
occasion have been quoted in later years
as an argument against his availability as
a presidential, candidate.
Meanwhile Mr. Bayards popularity in
his native state kept growing rapidly, and
in 1868 he was elected to succeed his
father in the United States Senate, and
was subsequently twice reelected. It is
noteworthy that on the day he was elected
to the Senate for the full term, his father
(who had reSigned) was also reelected a
senator from Delaware to serve for the un-
expired part of his original term. This is
the only case of father and son being
voted for by the same legislature to I'LL the
senatorial office
Almost at the outset of his senatorial ca
reer Mr.. Bayard took a leading position on
the democratic side. Senator Bayard took
ali active part in the discussions concern
ing the prasideI tial election of 1876, and
was an advocate and subsequently a men,
Der. 1886, Senator Bayard was married 10
Louisa. daughter of Josiah Lee, Balti-
more banker. Twelve children were the re-
suit of the union. In 1877 Senator Baya: sd

from Harvard College.
