COME UPON INVITATION

cd visit of State Senator Patrlck h. McCarren to Judge Parker was the only item of interest Vat Rosemount to-day beyond the installation of a telegraph operator in the newly ar ranged office, at the lodge beside the gate. The real work in the new offices will not begin there before next week. the Judges correspondence still being carried on at his law library in the house.
 There were nearly 400 letters in the early mall. and the judge went brisk ly at them. A very large output of letters was the result. Among the letters received to-day was this from Richard Olney:
 Boston. Mass. July 13. "Alton B. Parker. Esopus. N Y.:
 Dear Sir: You must allow me to express my great satisfaction that you are to be the candidate of the Democratic party for the presidential office in the coming national election. That both party and country cannot be too emphatically congratulated is certain
 Patriotic Sense of Duty.
 whether you can fairly be con- graduated personally. I beg leave to doubt. Your present position is so ey6lted and manifestly congenial to your tastes and Is filled with such distinction, that leaving it for politics cannot justly be imputed to anything except a patriotic sense of duty. That / fact will be appreciated by the intelli- gent voters of the country and cannot but enhance your claim to their con fidence and support. 4 Believing your candidacy. auspi- ciously begun by most striking proof of fidelity to conviction. will be identi- fled with the present and future wei fare of the republic, and strongly wishing and hoping for its complete success, am, sincerely yours.
 Richard Olney."
 Henry Watterson. editor of The lot of clippings from his paper, with a letter in which he congratulated the judge and concluded as follows:
 T shall go into the campaign be- fore us with a greater confidence of victory than I have ever had before, not even excepting the campaign of 1876"
 ter from Carl Schurz, which the judge declined to make public.
 Children Named Parker"
 A new sort of letters al hand today were those of parents, who have named their newly born children Alton" or Parker or both. after Judge Parker. There was one from Decatur, Illinois,
  There was a letter from Yonkers signed "A Grateful Mother" written in cultivated hand and thanking the judge for the example which, she said he had set before the young men and voters of the nation of loyalty to con viction.
 Judge Parker had his swim as usual and his horseback ride. Otherwise his morning was spent in his office.
 Uh iS at o'clock, was delayed for Senator Me- Carren.
 Congressman Bourke Cochran, of New York. August Belmont. and Will liam R. Rodey, of the Democratic State Committee, arrived at Esopus today and were taken to Rosemount in Judge Parkers carriage. They all said they came on the invitation of Judge Par ker and did not know what would be the subject of the conference or how long they would stay.
 It was not until the arrival of the three well known Democrats that there was any knowledge of any conference other than that of Senator McCarren. Congressman Cochran was asked if he would take the stump for Judge Par ker.
 Cochran Will Take Stump.
 "1s 1t necessary to ask that?" he replied He said he would support the ticket with his whole heart in any way that appears likely to help toward vic tory.
 MT Belmont was uncommunfcative He said he had not seen Governor Hill since the convention. He did not know what was to be the subject of their conference with the candidate
 The three were driven to Rosemount where they were warmly greeted bv Judge Parker. and sat chatting with him while awaiting the arrival of Seua- tor McCarren.
 Tt is only a question of majority as see it." said Senator McCarren after the conference The question of cam paign funds will not play the part it has played in the last two campaigns This time 1t is more a question of the man than of any issue. and the decis- ion lies with the people absolutely. The sordid element will not be so much feature as in the past.
 The minute I saw the gold dispatch, and I was with Mir. Sheehan when he received 1t. I said it was the right thing under the circumstances"
 Asked about the Bryan utterances Senator McCarren said MT. Bryan had pledged himself on the platform of the convention to support the ticket and he believed he would do so.
 Mir Cochran repeated his statement that he was ready to make more speeches for Judge Parker than he made in 1S96.
 The conference between Judge Par ker and Senator McCarren lasted about an hour and from what was learned after the conference there Is a strong impression here that MT. Sheehan is no longer to be thought of in connec tion with the Democratic National Craftsmanship, and also that those in the position of leadership do not re- rd hn ft in way bound to Thomas Taggart of In diana
 Chairman Not Chosen.
 It may be said that if any one has been selected for the National Chair manship, there is no reliable informa- ton obtainable here tonight as to who he is.,
