With Judge Parker At EsOpus.
A special to the New York Times
from Rosemount says:
'In his second speech OF this cam
! paign, delivered today to the Demo-
cratic editors, Judge Parker attacked
the Republican party for the extra
! Vagance and corruption of it's admin
iStration, and contraSted it with the
! two Democratic administrations of
Grover Cleveland.
HE gave figures to show the eco
nomy of the Democratic administra-
tons and the high cost of the Re-
publican ones, invited a comparison
of the honesty Of the Cleveland pc
riod with the postal scandals of to-
day, and suggested a comparison of
the present campaign with the turn
th-raScalS-Out" campaign of 1876
| when Tilden ran for President
He closed by warning the editors
of the danger of attacking fellow
Democrats. He spoke of the Vermont
election as an indication of the need
for party harmony.
Arrival of The Editors"
with the exception of August 10,
notification day, this was the biggest
day vet for Rosemount. The arrival
of the editors their numbers SWelled
to more than 500 by friends and 9TH
erS desiring to be in on the doings
of the day, tested the ability of the
local committee on arrangements TO
the utmost.
LAS the steamboat st. John appear
ed on the southern horizon a few
minutes after IL o'clock the young
representative of the candidates
family began wild waving of the
standard. The few gathered in front
OF the piazza waved anything that
came handy and as the craft drew
nearer the landing it was observed
that the saluting fever had caught all
hands on the boat.

among other things:
Editors Were ID Late.
The New York Journal says:
'"There were 653 in the editorial
party that left the Grand Central
Station on a special train of eight
cars at Q a. m. yesterday. Secretary
Woodson delayed the departure about
fifteen minutes for tardy editors who,
having dined at the Waldorf the night

/ at their accustomed hour in the
morning. Many of them are country
editors, whose habit it is to retire
shortly after shutdown and turn out
with the chickens in the morning.
when the train started to pull out
sleepy-eyed editors were still hot
footing it down the platform.
Steamboat and Brass Band.
A hundred women-wives and
daughters of editors-accompanied
the excursion. The party was turn
ed out of the cars at Hyde Park,
where the steamboat ST. John. a
substitute for the Shinnecock, which
had met With an accident. was in
waiting. The boat had been pro-
visioned, the tables were set and the
editors, made ravenously hungry by
the trip, eyed them longingly. A
brass band was here brought to view.
1t numbered it's instruments and got
right down to business.
THE party was landed at the little
pier in front of Rosemount. Long
before it got within speaking dist
ance, however, little Alton Parker
Hall, the Judges grandson, could be
dSicerned in his white suit and bare
legs, waving an American flag almost
as big as himself with the utmost in
dustry. The little fellow kept at his
task until the last passenger had
landed on the pier.
"At the command of Colonel John
I. Martin, national ergeant-at-arms,
who is superintendent of rifle prac-
tice out in Missouri and accustomed
to command. the battalion of editors
formed into line and. led by the band
marched up the dusty road to the
. house. Judge Parker was standing
on the southern end of the piazza
and waved a pleasant greeting. When
the crowd had assembled on the lawn
about the improvised platform some
one proposed three cheers for "Our
~
the United States" They We're given
with a heartiness that must have
been pleasing to the Judge.
"The speech-making was then be-
gun without unnecessary ceremony.
Josephus Daniels. of Raleigh, n. @,
who had conceived the idea of the
congress and arranged all the details
OF the visit to Esopus. climbed up
next to the Judge. He was closely
followed by Charles w. Knapp. The
piazza had been roped off and the
men were obliged to Chamber through
tilr reyes.
when the Judge had concluded,
the crowd gave him three more en-
thusiastic cheers Mr.. Daniels an
nounced that the candidate would be
glad to meet the editors and shake
hands with them. They formed a
long line, the Judge took a position
or the piazza and each editor was
individually presented by Mr.. Daniels.
