 Mexico City, Aug. 30. With no dissenting voice Francisco I Madero th's afternoon received the nomina- tor of the progressive party for the president, but Dr. Francisco Vasquez Gomez, his old running mate and his erswhiic agent Of the revolution at Washingtcn, was grilled by partlsans of three ober candidates for the vice presidency.
 When the convention adjourned to- nigit the candidacy of no other man for tse vice presidency than vasquez ticmez mad Teen considered. Jose f'no Suarez continued a favorite Tn the betting with Alfredo Robles Dom inguez as second choice. A ballot tonight probably would have resulted in division of honors for third place between Dr. Vasquez and Fer nando Iglesias Calderon.
 Maoero was the only candidate for iae presidency whose name was plac- cd before the convention. No speech was mace.
 She chairman announced his candi- dscy. went through the tormaity or asking if there were others and was greeted by a chorus of mo-" One delegate, seated on the stage, at tempted 10 make a speech in in Ma deros support The delegates shout ed him down and called for vo.e It was unanimous. An instant lat. CT every delegate was on his feet and 10 their chorus of "vivas" was added that of the spectators in the galler- les. For fully ten minutes the up- roar continued.
 At 9:S0 o'clock tonight the commit lee which had been sent to notify Madero of his nomination reported that he had accepted and had agreed to appear heSore the body at 11;o9 o'clock tomorrow.
 The delegates seized upon this as an excuse for another outbreak Of applause which resulted in adjourn meni following the adoption of a resolution that the entire body should march immediately to Madero's home in Colonia marez.
 impromptu speeches were then eX- changed and 1t was late in the night before the newly created politicians left for their hotels
 The announcement of Maderos ac- ceptance came at the conclusion of a speech which brought about the most dramatic moment of the. convention By agreement the names of the can dldates for the vice presidency hat been drawn by lot to be discussed il rotation.
 Vasquez Goez was the first nam' drawn from the urn. For and against d number of delegates had spoken when Jesus Uureta began a speecl in opposition. Renowned as one Q the brilliant of MeNico's orators, n had little difficulty in swaying al audience already opposed in the ma jority to the candidacy in question
 Using sarcasm without stint, h' laid hare ever weakeness of the eaI didate. The greater portion of hi invective was based upon the JUL brains of the revolution" given Dr Vasquez during the war.
 sarcastically he would repeat tn phrase and then follow it by instance calculated to show that the candidate actions were far from those whic would entitle him to such dlstin ton.
 Luis Cabrera. writer of nations lame and better known as Bias VI req. undertook to answer the orauor arguments. Without the aid of el cutionary tricks Cabrera piled fa upon fact to show how really yaiu ble yasquez' services had been' c
 pecially in contributing maney the cause of the revolution.
 I1 the midst of his speech sprang his sensation. Other spea CTS had declared sarcastieally tn Nasquez Gomez had taken Dit u fair advantage of thel of the deiesat by sending to them misleading 'e grams regarding his candidacy
