could not visit "the sage of Monti.
cello" at least gave thought to the
great retired man Of the nation.
Jefferson retained his health nearly
to his last days, and had the happiness
OF living to the fiftieth anniversary of
the Declaration of Independence. He
died at Monticello at 12:40 p. m. on
July 4, 1926. He was buried in his
own graveyard at Monticello. beneath
stone upon which was engraved an
inscription prepared by his own hand:

1t was at Monticello that Jefferson
prepared the draught Of instructions
for Virginia's delegation to the con.
gress which met at Philadelphia. His
activity In the cause of the colonies
brought him into special disfavor
with the British and 1t was planned
TO capture jefferson at Monticello

was warned that the enemy was COM

er. Kern himself withdrew and nom-
mated Bryan.
An attempt of Representative Fitz
gerald of Brooklyn to speak in the
interests of Judge Parker resulted in
great disorder and a platoon of police
was marshaled into the hall and
marched down the hall to quell the
disturbance.
A roll call then began on the tenn
porary chairmanship.
A wealth of decorations in white and
gold and the national colors greeted
the early arrivals on the scene Of the
democratic convention. The big hall,
ordinarily huge steelbeamed. brick.
walled armory. was transformed by
thousands of yards of bunting. The
ugly steel girders under the roof were
hidden by false ceiling of light net
ting. From the galleries hung the ban
ners of the various states and the ter
ritories and insular possessions.
The crowd came slowly and when
the galleries and the guest sections
surrounding the delegates on the floor
held but scattered few. A pouring
rain and n scarcity of vehicles made
progress from headquarters hotels to

lem.
The first cheer of the convention

ton, Grand Old Texas-Forty Votes

As the banner appeared a cheer
swept the scattered crowds in the gal
leries. The delegates then on the floor
did little cheering.
Mr.. Bryan surprised the convention
by slipping in without anybody see
ing him. He had left his hotel by
the servants elevator, avoiding the
crowd awaiting him there. and made
his way quietly to the hall. He en-
tered by the stage door and bobbed up
in the rear Of the stage by back
stairway.
At l2:02 Mr.. Mack arrived and
climbed the stairs leading to the plat.
form.
At 1910 Cardinal Gibbons took his
place at the front of the platform and
Norman E. Mack took his place at the
chairman's desk. Charles r. Crisp,
parliamentarian of the house of repre-
sentatives. took q seat near NJ. Mack.
He was to act as parliamentary ad-
wiser to the chairman.
There was one sharp contrast in the
convention arrangements here and
those at Chicago. At the republican
convention the hall fairly swarmed
with blue-coated policemen. a Gordon

the front of the stage. In the hall

Though the house itself was not plum
dered or burned, the rest of Jefferson's
property suffered severely at the
hands of the enemy. All the stock
and farm products that might be OF
service were carried OF, the rest be-
Ing wantonly destroyed.
When Jefferson resigned from the
Washington cabinet in 1904 he re-
turned to Monticello to enjoy a retire

many years. But this was not to be.
He was elected vice-president In
