Esopus. N r.. July 15.-The heaviest mail in the history Jf Rosemount came in for Judge Parker today and ar enormous number of letters went out Almost every State Tn the Union was represented in the mail.
 The West Shore Railroad and its station at Esopus now begin to show signs of the importance which the rail- road company attaches to the place from a business point of view. The tracks have been re-ballasted with broken stone for distance of several hundred yards, the steel bridge over the creek has been overhauled. and new flooring put in. and today the concrete foundation for the new sta tion east of the track was begun.
 Judge Parker allows nothing un- important to interfere with his morn- ing swim. and bright ana early he was in the Hudson. The early trip of the steamer Mary Powell sometimes brings her past the Rosemount wharf just as he is taking his swim, and the pas sengers try to see the candidate at his diving, in which he is an expert, but he always retires to the boat house until the steamer is gone.
 Trampled Parker's Lawn.
 Rosemount today showed the effects
  celebrators. whose 1000 pairs of feet seriously trampled the lawn and dug up the walks, but the Judges garden CT soon set things right.
 Judge Parker was unusually early in starting for his horseback ride going away before he had read his mail He glanced over the New York papers at breakfast but had not seen Mir Bry- ans last statement relative to the tfa a1a fnr ha q asked about 1t as he was starting for his ride.
 Judge Parker received a letter today from General Nelson A. Miles. The en- tire letter is in General Miles's hand , writing and Is as follows:
 St Louis. July 10. Hon. A. R. Parker. Esopus. N. Y.;s
 Dear Sir-Safety for the good ship of state is of the first importance.

 "Very truly yours,
 Nelson A. Miles" Among the other letters received today was one from Congressman John Lamb of the Third L---.lct of Virginia. Many of the writers nowadays are writing in poetry to the Judge, some of it very good: most of it quite other wise.
 Judge Parker drew the line on the pbotographers today and announced that this would be the last day of photographs of him and his family.
 T reserve the right" he said. laugh ingly, ito put my hands in my pockets and assume comfortable attitudes without DelnS eNeTldStlUSly lllht shall be snapped by some fellow with a camera"
 Esopus has been fairly overrun with photographers who have haunted the Judges house and have photographed not only himself. but everybody and everything remotely connected with his daily life. Today a series of group pictures were taken of him and his family. pictures queerly grouped on the lawn near the house.
 Judge Parker received the following telegram from Senator Daniel dated Lynchburg, Va:
 ..Our people are gratified that Unit ed Democracy has a leader who leads. and I tender my respects and congrat- ulations."
 Sheehan Sees Parker.
 MT. Sheehan drove to Rosemount this afternoon about o'clock and had an hours conference with Judge Par ker. He declined to discuss the con- versation.
 Did you go to New York to harmon iza the existing differences there?" he was asked.
 "I know of no existing differences needed to be harmonized," he answered What can you say regarding the chairmanship of the National Commit thee in reference to the posslpll'y or US going to August BelmontE
 Nothing: that matter is still open On the question as to the National Craftsmanship, Judge Parker has gwen much thought. At present four men are mentioned. MT. Sheehan, MT. Bel . mont, Senator German and MT. Tag gart,
 No one is closer to Judge Parker than Mir. Sheehan. none evidently will be more influential in the campaign than he. but he makes no secret or the fact that he does not want to be Ma tional Chairman and it is believed that Judge Parker will accede to his wishes in the matter.
 As to the date for the National Com mittee meeting. MT. Sheehan said to- dav that it remains to be fixed.
 There was rumor in Kingston to- night circulating with a good deal of Insistence. that Judge Parker's per sonal campaign headquarters will be established in Kingston and that he would meet visiting delegations there rather than at Rosemount.
 In support of this rumor this fact
