 Denver, Col, July S.-The demo- cratic national convention Is marking time, so far as the nomination of candidates and the adoption of plat form is concerned and is passing through the stages of organization and the throes of frenzied demonstra- tions. To-day has been marked chief ly by turbulent enthusiasm and the bitter strife of party leaders, the es- senlal developments of the day being these:
 Two sessions of the convention were held, the first at noon producing a Bryan demonstration breaking all rec ords Tn duration. the second at o'clock tonight being the continuation of the struggle over the credentials of the Pennsylvania deiegatior and the su- premacy of the Pennsylvania leader, Col. Guffey who has been denounced by MT. Bryan.
 Outside of the convention the com mittee have proceeded with the seri- ous work of preparing the way for con ventlon action.
 The credentials committee unseatai eight of Col Guffey's anti-Bryan Pennsylvania delegates, thus reversing the complexion of the Pcnnsylvanil delegation from anti-Bryan to Bryan and preciptating the intense contro- versy which Is being fought out be- fore the night session of the conven- ton.
 The platform is still in sn lncom- plete condition and will not be pre- sented until tomorrow, but its essen- tial features are agreed upon and lit- tie remains but the details ot phrase- ology
