From Mondays Daily.
Judge Parker impressed me with
being strong, cautious, shrewd man."
said Charles A. Walsh, Iowa member
of the democratic national committee,
and formerly secretary of the commit
tee for the past eight years, when ask
ed this morning the impressions made
upon him by the democratic candidate
for the presidency at the time of the
official notification. Mr.. Walsh came
in from Chicago this morning having
spent several days in New York city
confering with the other members of
the national committee.
THE New York members of the
notification committee treated us royal
ly," continued Mr.. Walsh I'VE were
met on our arrival in New York city,
and entertained from that time on. On
the morning Of notification day we left
New York on the Sycamore, one of
the finest steamboats, on the Hudson.
We reached Rosemount, which is about
Is miles north of the city, about 1
O'Clock. 1t was raining nearly all
morning and it was very unpleasant
during the ceremony.
Parker has fine place overlook
Ing the Hudson for miles. The COM
mittee and the visitors stood on the
lawn while the notification was taking
place. The grass was wet and all dur
ing the time the water was dripping
from the trees and heavy mist that
was almost rain was settling down up
on us. We all got wet.
THE notification went off in good
shape otherwise, and after the cere-
mony was over We returned to New
York city on special train from
Esopus.
Parker is a fine and capable look.

and shrewd course and 1 think this

New York Interview.
Mr.. Walsh has made no definite plans
for the futuresand refuses to talk for
publication " n the subject. He states
that he may oe in the city for several
weeks but that again he may possibly
remain but for few days. While in
the east at the Hoffman House Walsh
was credited with the following very
significant interview:
"The main object Of the present
democratic campaign managers seems
to be to prove that the democrats are
better republicans than the republicans
themselves. Their organs here in the
east devote most of their time to abuse
of the Bryanites, and naturally the sup.
porters Of the democratic candidate OF
four and eight years ago resent 1t.
Parker's Interests Suffering.
"Parker's interests are suffering
said Mr. Walsh, because Of the course
of the eastern newspapers, which
while boosting the Esopus candidate
refer editorially to Bryan men as free
silver maniacs,' crazy men and the
like.
Judge Parker cannot be elected
without Bryan votes, and to subjec,
these voters to continual insult will
ALLEVIATE these men. 1t would be bet
ter for Parker If these newspapers
would go over to Roosevelt than to
sandwich editorial insults to western
democrats with Parker laudations
II regard also as mistake the con
ceding of any state. This is nation
al fight and should be fought hard ev
erywhere."
