OF the Cars 10 Shake His Hand-The
Westchester DeieE ates Also Stop.
EsoPUs, Sept. Is.-Candidate Parker
dreamed pleasant dreams tonight. Real
Tammany cheers were ringing in his ears.
He heard them at the railroad station this
afternoon, when two carloads Of the braves
stopped on their way to Saratoga. At the
request Of the delegates, the Judge drove
TO the station to meet the crowd and was
well rewarded.
The first train, which arrived at I:lo p. NJ I.
carried the delegates from the First, Second,
Third, Fifth, Seventh, Eleventh and Tw enty-
fifth districts. The second, which came
along half an hour later, bore the boys
from the Ninth, Thirteenth, Nineteenth.
Twentieth, Twenty-hrst. Twenty-second
and Richmond districts.
Judge Parker was standing in front Of
the West Shore station when the first train
came in. The T8mmanyites swarmed of
tina cars before they came to a stop, and
made a rush for the candidate. What the
$50 would have done to him might have
been dreadful but for the interference Of
Peter Schmuck. who insisted that line
be formed Then everybody got a shake
OF the hand and nice word. Most OF the
crowd had cheering prediction for Judge
Parker.
THE Giants are going to win the pennant
and you're going to be President, said Joe
Gordon, the baseball magnate.
Your election is certain, Judge whis-
pered Bernhard Meyberg.
Are you the seventh son OF q seventh
SOM" asked the Judge quizzically
The Hon. Jimmy Hagan, former warden
OF the Tombs, came up to the Judge carry
ing a fat bankroll 1t looked as II there
had been something doing on the train.
James didn't proffer the bankroll, but he
did promise the candidate that he would
hustle for him.
We want to be careful about our candi-
date for Governor" said DR.. O'Sullivan.
"A lot depends on that" The Judge smiled
approvingly.
William A. Sweetser, who wore the only
silk hat in the delegation. pinned Tam
many badge on the candidates coat.
Frank j. Goodwin was so delighted with
Judge Parker that he didn't say anything
about Bill Devery. Nick Muller OF Rich
mond county wanted to have an extended
conference.
delegates who were still waiting to be
handshaken.
Joe Prendergast, who learned caution as
deputy sheriff, stood beside the Judge all
the while and saw that bis watch as safe.
Half Of the delegates were in their shirt
sleeves. and many Of them had discarded
their collars and opened their shirt fronts.
Their appearance was delightfully."- demo-
cratic. VI
What with the heat of the day and tho
the crowd was perspirtng; but II certainly
was enthusiastic and Judge Parker looked
happy all the while. The delegates de-
parted cheering madly and making far
more extravagant promises than Leader
Murphy ever made.
Judge Parker had scarcely reached
home and eaten q hasty luncheon when the
Westminster delegation marched up the
hill at Rosemount. More humble than the
Tammanyites, they didn't ask the candidate
to come to their train. He met the 200
on the veranda, where Fred II. Allen, chair
man OF the delegation, made a speech
roasting the trusts.
Il feel greatly complimented, said Judge
Parker. that you should stop your train
here. Now, want the privilege Of shaking
the hand OF each Of you.
NJ. j. Walsh, e1-Mayor OF Yonkers, in
troduced the delegates, and the Judge had
bright sayings for all. One OF them asked
for his autograph, and when the candidate
granted the request there was rush 30
bewildering that Mr.. Walsh had to interfere.
Next the crowd collected souvenirs. Beech.
nuts were the most plentiful Of these, but
some OF the curio seekers found In the lodge
package Of dog biscuit which they guessed
the Judge must feed to Teddy. They broke
It up and put 1t In their pockets. Teddy
passed the biscuit age year ago, and the
purloined food was intended for Lenox a
terrier pup, who was a recent visitor at
Rosemount.
The flag at Rosemount Is at half mast
on account Of the death OF George Bedford,
the old hagman at the West Shore station.
He had lived in Esopus all his life. except
when he was In the war with the 15eth
New York, and he had voted for ten Demo-
cratic candidates for President, beginning
with Mcclellan. He wanted to live long
enough to vote for Judge Parker, but when
the railroad put In gates at the crossing
and deprived him OF the pleasure Of waving
his flag he pinned away.
Giovanni Curio OF Pottsville, Pa. who
can't vote, has written to the Judge asking
permission to name one Of his twin boys
for the candidate. The other is to be named
Theodore Roosevelt. who, Curio tells Judge
Parker, Is great statesman.
Judge Parker does not plan to 60 to
New York tomorrow. In fact he has not
planned to go this week at all. but 1t is
possible that he will 60.
