SIMPLE AFFAIR
AT ROSEMOUNT
Will MARK THE NOTIFICATION
of JUDGE PARKER OF HIS NOMI-
NATION FOR PRESIDENT.

Aug. 10 Has Been Fixed Upon as the
Date for the Notification Ceremo-
nies-Champ Clark Has Been In
formed of the Selection of the
Date-NO Long Speech Will BE De-
Iivered by the Presidential Candi-
date-PIans for the Event.
Esopus, N. Y, July 23.-Judge Park
er has fixed Aug. 10 as the date for the
ceremonies notifying him of his noml-
nation by the Democratic National
Convention as a candidate for the pres
idency.
Judge Parker reached his decision
concerning the date in a long consul
tation with William F. Sheehan yes
terday and a telegram was at once
sent Champ Clark of Missouri, chair
man of the committee named by the
Democratic Convention to notify the
nominee for President.
Representative Clark is expected to
call meeting of his committee, prob
ably to be held in New York, and he
may also come to Rosemount to talk
over the arrangements with Judge
Parker although no plan for sucS a
conference has yet been made.
The notification ceremonies at Rose
mount on Aug. 10 will follow prece-
dents laid down for similar events. 1t
is known that Judge Parker is par
ticularly impressed with the simplicity
of the ceremonies which took place on
the occasion of President Lincoln's Sec
ond nomination and also when Judge
Thurman was informed of his noma-
ito for Vice President. The speeches
both times were marked because of
their brevity. When President Cleve-
land was notified in 1888 he made J.
long speech and the ceremonies were
far more formal than any other which
have been brought to the attention of
those who are arranging details of the
Rosemount ceremonies.
1t is the plan now at Rosemount to
have the notification follow closely the
form of the earlier ceremonies. 1t is
not expected that Judge Parker will
talk at length, nor that he will discuss
intimately any of the campaign issues
but will leave this to the letter of ac-
ceptance. which will be issued a week
or so later.
Letter From Carl scburz.
A letter giving great satisfaction at
Rosemount has been received by Judge
Parker from Carl Schurz. It is as
follows:
mot as a party man, but as an in
dependent. / feel bound to express to
you my sincere respect. The princi-
pies and opinions you are known to
hold as to the currency, imperialism,
the tariff and the civil service strong
ly commend themselves to men of my
way Of thinking But If, as an in
dependent. / ever was doubling for
what candidate my duty commanded
me to vote, your action on the terms
Of your nomination has completely dis
solved that doubt. II has rendered
the republic a double service of in
calculable value. No man can honest
ly deny that Il has demolished the last
pretext for still treating the gold
question as a live issue of party con-
troversy and that II has thus resolved
the business community of an ele-
ment OF peculiarly unhealthy agita-
tion and dangerous uncertainty. This
Is so evident that any attempt to con-
tinue that agitation artificiaily, for
mere party advantage, must be con-
demned by every good citizen az alb
solutely wicked indeed, as little less
than criminal.
