KERN coNFERs WITH PARKER.
Question Of Craftsmanship to Be Taken
Up Monday.

A dispat ch from Esopus, N. Y, last night
says: Judge Parker's second Sunday since
his nomination was spent quietly. He had
conferences with John w. Kern Of In
dtinapolis. who Is his guest. and William F.
Sheehan. and with Maurice Minton Of New
York. who attended the st. Louis conven-
ton. and Is said to have come to Rose
mount on a political mission. Mr.. Shee-
han visited Rosemount this afternoon for
half an hour, and later Judge Parker Wis
tied Mr.. Sheehan's home.
The question of who is to be chairman
of the national committee was not con-
sidered today. That question will be dis
cussed at the conference of leaders which
is to take place in New York tomorrow.
Mr.. Sheehan will go to New York by train
tomorrow morning. and Mr.. Kern will go
by the boat leaving ROSemount landing at
$50 o'clock. Judge Parker will not at
tend the conference.
Mr. Kern this afternoon said that he
came from Indianapolis on business in AL
bany. and it was at Senator David b.
TIilTs suggestion that he visited Judge
Parker. whom he had known for nine
years. He and the judge. he said. had talk
ed a good deal of politics. but had not
talked of the national committee chair
manship. He had not come here. he add
ed, in the interests of National Committee
man Thomas Taggart OF Indiana. nor 70

1t was pointed out to Mr.. Kern that the
newspapers had intimated that August
Belmont was out of the race for national
chairman. and 1t might be possible that
Mr. Taggart would have charge of active
work in the west and Mr.. Sheehan in the
east. Mr.. Kern said nothing but nodded
his head in a contemplative way.
German Declines Guardianship.
A dispatch from Baltimore says:
One of Senator Germans closest political
advisers said Saturday:
Senator German will not accept the ma
tional craftsmanship of the democratic party.
In fact he has already declined. He will
take the most active part In the campaign,
and will give all the assistance in his power.
by advice or otherwise. but he cannot think
OF assuming the whole burden of RESPONSE
bility and the volume Of work incident to
the craftsmanship. He thinks some of the
younger men should do that. Nearly all
the Maryland leaders who attended the st.
Louis convention believe that the chairman
ship has been practically settled. and that
Thomas Taggart of Indiana will be the
man."
Senator German Friday sent the follow
ing letter to the members of the Maryland
delegation at St. Louis:

A dispatch from Parkersburg. w. Va.
last night says:
The democratic state convention OF West
Virginia will be held here Wednesday, Au-
gust 3. A huge wigwam. large enough to
hold the largest democratic convention ever
held in the state Is being erected. and 1t Is
anticipated that the attendance will be fully
as large as that at the republican state
convention at Wheeling last week. The
nomination of Henry G. Davis for the vice
presidency has thoroughly aroused the
democracy Of West Virginia.
Prior to the st. Louis convention 1t was
the intention of the democrats to nominate
Henry G.. Davis for governor No other
candidate was ever mentioned. But now
that he has been called to a higher place
there promises to be an exciting contest
for the nomination for governor. Among
those nominated for the place are John w.
Davis OF Clarksburg. Judge John H. Holt
Of Huntingt ton. Judge David f. Johnston of
Bluefield. W. X. Thompson OF Huntington.

years, and was a delegate to the convention

whom year Of the Mckinley administra-
ton won to republicanism. said yesterday
at the Holland House, regarding Judge
Parkers nominations:
"a large number of former democrats
who. like myself. left the party In 1885,

republicans. will not be lured by the spe-
ctous methods employed to nominate Judge

Mr. Bryan and who will accept his state

of them will resent the sort or politics that
was practiced to secure the nomination Tor
the New York judge, and understanding as
they do in the west that Belmont and the
Wall street crowd are behind Parker they
will repudiate him. n
The people of the west like man who
is open. frank and square. That's why they
like Roosevelt. They forgive exuberance
when 1t Is accompanied by honesty. And II

First Important Dissension.
The first dissension of Importance in the
democratic ranks Is likely to appear as
soon as Judge Parker announces his choice

he possesses a reputation of being vote

Interesting Experiment in Restaurant
An advertising agent, representing a
prominent New York magazine, while
on a recent western trip. was dining one
evening in q Pittsburg restaurant
While waiting for his order he glanced
over his newspaper and noticed the ad-
vertisement Of a well known dyspepsia
preparation, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets;
as he himself was regular user Of the
tablets. he began specializing as to how
many OF the other travelling men IN the
dining room were also friends Of the
popular remedy for indigestion
He says: l counted twenty-three men
at the tables and in the hotel office /
took the trouble TO interview them and
was surprised to learn that nine Of the
twenty-three made a practice Of tax
ing one or two of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets after each meal
One of them told me he had suffered
so much from stomach trouble that at
one time he had been obliged to quit
the road. but since using Stuarts Dys-
pepsia Tablets had been entirely free
from indigestion. but ne continued their
use. especially while travelling. on ac-
count of irregularity in meals and be-
cause like all travelling men he was Of
ten obliged TO eat what he could get and
rot always what he wanted.
Another who looked the picture or
health. said he never ate a meal without
taking a Stuart Tablet afterward, be-
cause he could eat what he pleased and
when he pleased without fear Of a
sleepless night or any other trouble.
Still another used them because he
was subject TO gas on stomach, causing
pressure on heart and lungs snOrtness
Of breath and distress in chest, which
he no longer experienced since using the
tablets regularly.
Another claimed that Stuart's Dyspep-
sia Tablets was the only safe remedy
he had ever found for sour stomach and
acidity. He had formerly used common
soda 70 relieve the trouble. but the tab
