Evening Session.

CHICAGO, July ~
The proceedings Of the evening were opened
few minutes before 0 p. M. when Senator
White, Of California, the chairman, called the
convention to order. At that time ex-Gov.
Flower and 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 that after the nomi-
nation for vice-president should be made
whenever that might beg 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 hitch somewhere
in the choice of a candidate for vice-president,
which it had appeared earlier in the evening
would have fallen on John R. Mclean, OF Gin
cinnati. This became apparent when Gov
Stone, of Missouri, was recognized to move an
adjournment, which, after some spirited oppo-
sftion. was agreed to and the convention ad-
1ourned until ten clock Saturday morning

the candidate may be he will receive the cleo
toral vote Of my state. (Cheers.)
Amid much confusion Gen. Bragg again
rose and claimed the attention of the conven-
tion to say:
With your kind permission we will send
out and make search for another straggler
and if we are successful Wisconsin may yet
pledge its support to another candidate.
