Their names were cheered, but the demonstration evoked was not comparable to that which greeted the name of Mir. Bryan, The cheers for Johnson lasted twenty-five minutes. It was remarked here several days ago that there were at least a hun dred candidates for second place. each state in the Union seemingly having at least two or three. Now that the time of voting is at hand, however, the list has contracted and less than a dozen names are mentioned serious. ly.
 That Justice William J. Gaynor of New York would be placed in nomina- tlon for the vice presidency by the New York delegation was announced by Charles F. Murphy while the Bry- an demonstration was at it's height and after it had been under way for more than fifty minutes.
 l MT. Bryan, it is declared, preferred Judge Gray of Delaware. It is under stood here that Judge Gray personally telegraphed Mir. Bryan that if nomi- mated he would decline, and this de- termined the Nebraskan to select Jus | tice Gaynor for the second place.

 In discussing the vice presidential situation, the Massachusetts delega- tion said ex-Governor Douglas name would not be presented for the place.
 With this announcement came the news that the Indiana delegation was trying to work up sentiment for John W. Kern for second place. His dele gation is solldly behind him, and sev- eral states were pledged to support him in the event that Judge Gray is not available.
 Connecticut is determined to present the name of Archibald McNeil and hopes to gain the support of other New England delegates. Georgia will present the name of Clark Howell for vice president.

 The Missourians refused to consider the statement of Mir. Francis as final, and there Is still chance that his name will be considered at the state cancuses.
 Two sessions of the convention ad- vnnced the work well nigh to compile ton and brought the decisive hours for the consideration of the party's candidates and declaration of princi. pies. The opening session lasted three hours and brought about the completion of the permanent organi- Eation of the convention. with the re- sounding address of Congressman Clayton Of Alabama. permanent chair man Of the convention. When che next session opened every formality of organization had been accomplish ed. and the decks were clear for the supreme work of adopting the plat form and naming the candidates.
 The scenes within the convention amphitheater repeated those of pre- vious days in the magnitude Of the gathering and the eager enthusiasm CT the throngs. There were frequent 1 demonstrations as the names of party 1 idols or JefferSonIan principles were 1 pronounced. but there was no repefI- l tion during the early session of the 1 tumultuous record breaking demon ! strstion. The address of the perma- nent chairman. Mir. Clayton. proved 1 to be a caustic arralgnment of the ] failure Of Roosevelt policies and an | enuncistion of Democratic doctrine. i The ringing voice of the orator and | the emphasis of his gestures stirred | the listening thousands to frequent l Demonstrations of enthusiastic ap- I proval.
