/ territory in the Union, by Congress
man Champ Clark of Missouri.
Speeches Loudly Cheered.
Mr.. Clark was greeted with loud
applause as he arose to make the
notification speech, and his remarks
were frequently cheered.
A still more rousing welcome was
accorded Judge Parker, and he had
| TO wait several minutes to allow
the enthusiasm to subside before
beginning his address. Throughout
the address the assemblage applaud
ed and cheered the salient features of
! the speech.
EsOpus Is Deluged.
The program was somewhat
marred by heavy rain, which began
| last night and continued today The
village streets were deluged and
| Judge Parker was keenly disappoint-
ed, as he had hoped for a day of
sunshine.
Leading Democrats Present.
The committee on notification and
500 prominent Democrats arrived
| this morning from New York on the
steamer Sycamore. The invited
| guests were Judge Parker's mother
| and sister, James Miles of Derby,
| Conn, German Consul Reiloff of St
| Louis and Mrs. Daniel Manning Of
Albany.
Champ Clarks speech of notifica-
tion in part follows:
Judge Parker, the most mo-
mentous political performance known
among men is the quadrennial cleo
| ton Of the American president. The
| supreme executive power of eighty
millions of free people changes hands
with the simplest ceremony and with
most perfect order. Experience
| shows that he who serves the party
| best serves the country best. Out OF
| the strong debates and the profound
| deliberations of the ST. Louis conven-
| tion emerged reunited party, which
| goes forth conquering and to con-
quer. Every phase of Democratic
| opinion was represented and was ad-
yocated by brave, honest, able cham
pions in that great conclave of free
patriotic men.
Chosen of Many.
"There was a splendid array of
presidential candidates before the st.
Louis convention, each supported by
loyal friends and ardent admirers.
You were chosen with such enthusi-
asm as foretells success. The hope
is not too extravagant for entertain
ment that in this campaign our can
didates will have the support not
only of every Democrat in the land,
but also of every voter who believes
the constitution Of the United States
is living reality, binding equally
on the high and the low, the great
and the small the public Official and
the private citizen
Into your hands the great his
toric party of constitutional gov
ePnment has committed it's standard,
with abiding faith in your courage
and integrity, believing that under
your leadership we will achieve VIC
tory.
May your nomination find frui-
tion in election. May God, our Fa-
ther, guide, protect and bless you as
the candidate and the chief magis-
trate OF the republic"
In response TO Congressman
Clark's speech, Judge Parker said:
81 have resigned the office of chief
judge Of the New York state court
of appeals that / may accept the re-
sponsibility put upon me with no
possible prejudice TO the court to
which | had the honor to belong.
Appreciates Confidence.
"At the threshold of this response
and before dealing with other sub
jects, ! must express my profound
appreciation Of the confidence re-
posed In me by the convention after
nominating me, and subsequently re-
ceiying my communication declaring
that | regarded the gold standard as
firmly established That hereafter
no one could justly say that his sup
port had been secured through q
mistake, the convention reiterated it's
determination that / should be its
standard bearer This mark of trust
and confidence ! shall ever esteem as
the highest honor that could be
conferred upon me.
"The admirable platform upon
which the party appeals to the coun-
try clearly states the principles
which were so well condensed in the
first inaugural address of President
Jefferson.
Restraint Of Law.
Restraint OF law as well as its
delays is becoming more and more
manifest from day to day Within
the past few years many instances
have been brought to our attention
where supposed criminals have been
seized and punished by a mob, not
withstanding that our constitution
guarantees protection TO every per-
son within its Jurisdiction.
The speaker then referred to the
