The National Democratic Committee

CHICAGO, June 24.-The new national
democratic committee met at the
Palmer house Immediately after the
adjournment of the convention. A
temporary organization was effected
by electing all the old officers of the
national committee, viz: Calvin s.

outside the committee. It is under
stood this was passed with the under

Gov. Gray's name before the conven-
tion for vice-president, and who not
only confidently predicted, but really
expected his nomination, was asked
how Indiana came to lose the second
place. 'I do not understand why it
was donc," he answered. 'Itow it was
done is plain enough-Vilas and Dick
inson prevented his nominal ton. Each,
brought out candidate from his state.
whereas if Michigan and Wisconsin had
voted for Gray he would have been
nominated"
