be present a considerable number OF
leading Democrats. Judge Parker will

said today that he expected to see Sem
ator Gorman In New York and doubt
less also Mr.. Davis. The latter is ex-
pected to come to Rosemount about
"wednesday. No further steps have been
taken towards joint notification of

reason TO suppose that any such thing
will take place. There is no precedent

the night at Rosemount. Early in the

Judge Parker on his horse back ride
today was accompanied by his daugh-
ter, Mrs. Charles Mercer Hall. and
part OF the way had on his saddle in
front OF him his little grandson who
apparently feared nothing and enjoyed
the galloping of the big horse as much
as his grand father.
Judge Parker today received a long
letter from william F. Villas, who was
postmaster general In President Cieve-
lands cabinet. The letter is in Mr..
Villas own handwriting and congratu-
lates Judge Parker on his telegram TO
the st. Louis convention.
Several other congratulatory tele.
grams were received. among them one
from Parker and Davis campaign
club organized n Hun tersvilie, Ala.
endorsing the judges candidacy.
Judge Parker has received from
Henry G. Davis. the vice presidential
rominee. dated Elkiris, w. Va, his ac-
ceptance Of the judges Invitation to
visit him at Rosemount. No date in
mentioned in Ar. Davis letter, but he
is expected cary next week.
1t Is considered most likely that Judge

had been formally notified of his nom

No statement has been made as to
the result OF the evenings conference
between Judge Parker and Mr. Kern.
The latter will remain al Rosemount
