Discredited From the Start.

From the New York American (dem)
Judge Parker is beaten, overwhelmingly
beaten.
The reasons for his defeat are perfectly
plain.
Judge Parker simply failed to inspire the
earnest, the genuinely democratic elements
of his own party with confidence. They
did not feel that in voting for him they
would be voting for democratic principles.
And he did not attract republicans who
are tired of the reign of special interests
and are ready to come over to the democ-
z racy when the democracy has the courage
to be democratic.
The country was prepared for what has
happened. Everybody who moves among
the people and keeps himself acquainted
with the trend of public sentiment was
without expectation, from the hour of
be elected.
That nomination was procured under cir
cumstances which discredited 1t from the
start
The ante-convention movement in Judge
Parker's behalf was led by men in whom
the democratic masses had no faith. For
the most part their chief claim to political
distinction was that they had abandoned
their party in two presidential campaigns.
Others among them were as conspicuously
identified with the trusts as are Morgan,
Rockefeller, Rogers and Baer themselves,
and while they worked for his nomination,
Judge Parker. about whose views on public
questions nothing was known, remained
mute, pleading the dignity of his judicial
office in explanation of his sllence-a silence
on the part of presidential aspirant un-
precedented in the history of American
politics,

HOW PARKER TOOK DEFEAT.
Received News With Dignified Resig.
Acknowledgements Roosevelt.

A dispatch from ESopus, N. Y, last night
says: Judge Parker conceded the election
to President Roosevelt at $50 pm, when
he received a bulletin that the democratic
national headquarters had already admitted
that every doubtful state had been carried
by the republican national ticket. He ap-
peared to be not at all downcast by the
result, although it Is known that he great
ly deplored his overwhelming defeat in his
own state. He received the dscouraging
news in his study. where he sat smoking
with two Of his neighbors The bulletin
from democratic headquarters concerning
Judge Parkers defeat was given to the
judge by the Associated Press representa-
tive. When asked if he had any statement
to make. he pulled telegraph blank to-
ward him and wrote hastily for moment.
Then he said:
II am going to send this telegram to
President Roosevelt The message was
dispatched at once It was as follows:
"RosEMoUMT: EsoPUs. N. Y,
$50 pm. November 8.
THE President, Washington. D. c.:
'The people, by their votes. have en-
phatically approved your administration
and l congratulate y YOU; n,
At that hour returns were indefinite and
the judge declined to make an extended
statement. He said his telegram to the
situation that he knew; that the result was
evident even though details were lacking.
The demeanor of Judge Parker he
heard the bulletins read was of cheerful
resignation. He wore the air of one who
could say, if he would: II will die game"
and die game he did. He discussed the re-
turns with his friends and compared the
figures with former years. 1t might have
been some other mans defeat for all the
concern he seemed to feel.
Around Judge Parker throughout the
evening were the members of his family
and their guests, Mr. and Mrs. Emery
Freer and Mr.. and Mrs. Ellis B. Long Of
Esopus The bulletins were carried from
the telegraph Office by messengers and
were read by Secretary McCausland.
The first news of the election was tele-
phoned to Judge Parker from Poughkeepsie,
N. Y, and showed a republican gain over
the vote received by Bryan in 1900. The
message was sent by friend who said 'he
feared the republicans had won." If the
Judge agreed with his friend on the first
report he did not show it, but good ma
turedly upbraided his informant for faint
heartedness.
The first bulletin that came over the
wires was from Rome, N. Y, and showed
a republican gain in the governorship con-
test The first bulletin on the national
ticket was from Massachusetts, and showed
a democratic gain in fourteen cities and
towns. From that time on the reports in
dicated general republican gains.

Theodore Roosevelt is elected President
of the United States. The term for which
William Mckinley was elected will ex-
pire on the 4th of next March, when what
Mr.. Roosevelt might regard as his first
term as President of the United States

coveted a second election and have re-

term, believing. as he does. that the
American people have no objection to
continuing in office deserving servant

To his everlasting honor be it said that
last night, in the hour of his triumph, he
deliberately renowned this not unreason-
able theory. He will retire from Office on

Early Returns Significant.

The very earliest returns plainly indicated
to the President that he had been elected,
and had carried New York by a large ma
iority. AS early as o'clock In the evening
this was apparent to him.
The first information of a definite charac-
ter was received by the President while he
was at dinner The returns laid before him
then were in the nature of assurances that
he had carried New York, his home state,
by a plurality so large as to be really as
founding. Bulletins from the newspapers
of New York city were received conveying
the welcome news. While the President was
gratified, 1t may be said that the result was
not entirely unexpected, although he HIM
self had not anticipated SO tremendous a
victory.
These and rapidly succeeding bulletins,
each conveying to him more cheering news,
were read and discussed by the President
with surprising calmness. He was in the
best of spirits, but at no time did he mani
fest the slightest nervousness or anxiety.
Soon after dinner company of the init
mate friends of the President and Mrs.
Roosevelt assembled in the parlors of the
White House and extended their felicita-
tons and congratulations to both of them
on the result. Among those present were
Secretary Hay, Secretary Morton, Assistant
Secretary Loomis Mrs. and Miss Hitchcock,
Mrs. Taft. Mrs. Wynne, Mrs. James r. Gar

Prosperity Beat Judge Parker.
New York Times (ind.).

From the New York Times (tnd).
Prosperity. a deep and widespread desire
for its continuance, and a feeling perhaps
not less widespread that the democratic
party is not yet ''ft to govern" are reasons
which sufficiently explain the very remark
able results of the election held yesterday
in this country. In addition to the solid re-
publican vote Mr.. Roosevelt has received
throughout the entire north an immense
democratic vote, ranging from few thou
sands from state like Massa chusetts to
more than 1OO,O 600 in the state of New York.
The democratic candidate should have no
regrets concerning the part he has played
in our public life since the st. Louis con-
vention nominated him for the presidency.
His nomination was in sense accidental.
Anybody who in an of year, or an on year.
carries the great and doubtful state of New
York for any Office becomes by that fact a
presidential possibility. 1t is to Judge Par
ker's credit that that was all that was known
about him when he came up as a candi-
date outside the circle of his personal ac-
quaintances and that of the lawyers who
practiced in his courts This latter verdict,
the judge should be pleased and proud to
know. has been, epeHqon the part of those
lawyers who were retained in the canvass
now closed, on the other side, as favorable
as that of his own friends and neighbors.
But the figure that Judge Parker has
been cutting SINCE and, indeed before his
nomination for theepresidency became final
and irrevocable, has been such as not only
to vindicate his selection as the standard
bearer of one of the great national parties.
but also to vindicate in general the Amer
lean character and American institutions
