Coucrdr Chauera are Poor. ' ' It wa3 conceded on all hands, pri vately even by supporters of Johnson, that his nominal ion for first position was problematical, but his friends were staunch in their determination to have his name presented to the convent ion for the presidency, even in the face possibly of his defeat. Most of them were quite as positive-in the declara tion that he would not accept second place, even if it should be tendered him. , - Opiinwnl for Secoud Pluce. The discussion of the Minnesota gov ernor's chances for the vice presiden cy, while quite general among the un informed, was not indulged in serious ly by those who were in accord with the inner Bryan circles. They did not accept his name with favor, and it may be announced even thus far in advance of the meeting of the convention that the Minnesota man will not be Btyan's running mate in the event of ttu Ne braskan's nomination. Xot Viewed an Friendly. ' . Kryan's most inntimate friend? and supporters are quite determined n the situation. While they do not penly criticise Johnson's candidacy tli.-y are very evidently displeased with t e fact that he entered the race, and it s even intimated that Bryan himself would not favorably consider Johnson's candi dacy for the vice presidency. ' iruy Entirely Acceptable On the other hand it is knowi Judge Gray will be in every way aceptable to Bryan as candidate for seco d place and the position is generally ;nceded to him if he will accept it.
