Evening Session.

CHICAGO. July 10
The proceedings of the evening were opened
q few minutes before Q p. m. when Senator
White. OF California, the chairman, called the
convention to order. At that time ex-Gov.
Flower and 4 fair proportion OF the New York
delegates occupied seats in their section,
Senator Hill and Mr.. William c. Whitney
having left the city in the afternoon. Most Of
the New Jersey delegates were also present
The fact that both these state delegations had
declined to participate in the balloting for the
presidential candidate made their presence
! matter of remark.
The chairman announced thrt after the nomi-
nation for vice-president Should be made
(whenever that might be) the committee on
notification would at once meet in the room OF
the committee on resolutions, to the right OF
the chair.
The vast crowd that packed the galleries was
doomed to disappointment however, as It soon
developed that there was a hitch somewhere
in the choice OF a candidate for yice-president
which it had appeared earlier In the evening
would have fallen on John r Mclean, Of Gin
