Champ Clark of Missouri Made
Announcement.
Presidential Candidate Accepted the
Nomination, Stated His Reasons for
Acceptance and Gave His Views
as the Nominee.

Esopus, N. Y, Aug 10--N Notification.
day, the greatest day in the modern
history OF Ulster county, arrived with
q pouring rain, which set In Just after
daylight and confounded the prophe-
cies Of those who had faithfully prom
ised Judge Parker ideal weather con-
ditions, when he was to- receive for
NAL notification OF his selection by. the
democratic national convention as Its
nominee for president OF the United
States. At midnight there was no
sign of anything but the fairest kind
OF day, but when Judge Parker arose
at his usual hour the rain was coming
down i'm g. steady pour from leaden
sky. The weather and the comments
Of his family and guests on the sub
ject were received by the Judge him
self with q smile, and he went about.
the business Of the day with his usual
CHEEKY spirits.
There was an unusually large gath
erfng at breakfast at Rosemount, and
the table at whose head Judge Parker
sat had about 1T practically all OF his
Intimate relatives. Beside his own
family and that of Rev Charles M
Hail. his son-in-law, there were pres
emit Mrs John H. Parker of Derby,
Conn. the judges mother; Mrs Alfred
Tanner of Kingston. sister of Mrs
Parker; Mr. and Mrs J. A. Miles of
Derby, Conn, brother-in-law and sister
of Judge Parker; Mrs Daniel Manning
Of Albany, widow OF President Cleve-
lands first secretary OF the treasury,
and DR. II. g. Rieloff, the German con-
sui at st Louis, who is visiting Mr.
and Mrs Hail.
At 1920 there was some Indication
of a break in the Storm though the
rain continued unabated. 1T was am
nOunced that unless the weather
cleared the notification ceremony
would take place upon the steamer
Sagmore. II appeared In fact that Iii
was mainly for this purpose that the
boat had been engaged. On account
Of the rain the grounds and porch OF
Rosemount were comparatively desert
ed. The only newcomers that arrived
up to 1920 were v. J. Dowling of New
York and Mr. and Mrs George f. Neid-
linger. The Neidlingers have the old
Astor place near Rosemount and are
friends of Judge and Mrs Parker.
They spent a large part Of the morn
ing at the house with the family. Mrs
Neidlinger brought In her carriage the
first floral offerings that reached the
candidate, a whole armful OF blossoms
and colored foliage, among which
were gladioli and Towering maple.
Former Senator David b. Hill sent
his secretary, F.. ]. Manweiller, down
from Albany on the early train. Mr..
NTanweiller, who was accompanied by
NJ. A. Delaney of the democratic state
headquarters at Albany, was met at
the Esopus station by Rev Charles M.

These aims and purposes have
been carefully \ clearly and comprehen-
sively set forth In the declaration of
principles which was unanimously re.
ported to the st Louis convention IN
July last by the platform committee
after more than sixteen hours spent In
its copsiderat tiOn, In which every great
| live issue is frankly, !, boldly and fully
discussed, and which was unanimous
~ and enthusiasticall adopted by
that convention composed Of dele
gates from every constituency under
our flag.
"There was splendid array of
presidential candidates before the st
Louis convention, supported by loyal
friends and ardent admirers An un-
usually large number OF men were
placed in nomination for the greatly
coveted honor You were chosen
with such enthusiasm as foreteIls sue
cess. Having, on the only ballot, re-
ceived the two-thirds majority indis-
pensable by democratic usage, your
nomination was made unanimous with
the heartiest approval OF your illus
trious competitors Absolute acqui-
escence In the decisions OF the major
ity, the vital principle of republics,
has ever been a cardinal tenet OF de-
moaracy: and the signs OF the times
indicate that you will be supported
at the polls by the democratic hosts
with the same unanimity with which
you were nominated.
1.-The hope ds not too extravagant
for entertainment that in this cam
paign our candidates will have the
support not only OF every democrat in
the land, but also OF every voter, by
whatever political name called, who
believes that the constitution of the
United States is a living reality and
that it applies equally to high and
low, to great and small, to public Of
fetal and to private citizen.
'.They will also be supported, let us
hope, by all men without regard to
political affiliations, who favor main
tanning the lines OF demarkation be-
tween the legislative, judicial and ex-
ecutive departments of the govern
ment, the separation of which has
been generally regarded as the most
salutary and difficult achievement of
the masterful statesmen who framed
the constitution. 1t Is believed and
hoped that as president you will use
eyery legitimate influence at your
command to restore and preserve the
healthful equilibrium among the de-
partinents esta blished by the consti-
tuition.
.The most marked chara cteristics of
the bulk OF the American people are
reverence for the constitution and
obedience of law.
"Your long and conspicuous career
as Il turist in one Of the highest
courts in the world-the period which
you have spent In studying and ex.
pounding constitutions and statutes
causes your countrymen to believe
that into the exalted executive office
to which they are about to call YOU,
you will carry that profound respect
for the constitution and the law
which with you has become a con-
firmed mental habit and upon which
depends the perpetuity OF our system
Of government -the best ever devised
by the wit Of men-a system whose
benefcent results have made us the
most pllissant nation on the whole
face Of the earth. TO preserve It In

WATER SHUT OFF.
Westport Without Fire Protection
Except Old Hand Engines.

Westport, Aug 1O.-As a result of
trouble between this town and the
Westport Water Co, the place is to-
day without fire protection, with the
exception OF two old hand engines
which have been out of commission
for the past fifteen years The trout
bic originated in an advance on the
Tnte paid by the town fer the use OF
water for public use. THIS change In
rate csIne when the WeStpOTt Water
Co passed into tho hands OF the Jack
son Bros OF Philadelphia. There is
now two year bill for water which
the town refuses to pay and will not
sign u contract tor further use of the
water under the new rate.
Newton Jackson OF Philadelphia.
one of the present owners OF the wa-
ter company, was here yesterday try
Ing to settle the AFFAIR. Upon the re-
fnsal OF the town authorities to Sign
tho contract, he gave the supertntend-
ent orders to shut or every bit of wa
ter used In hydrants and public forln-
ta1ns and pumps These orders have
been carried out to the letter.
Great Inconvenience has been
caused by this act as number OF
families have been In the habit Of get
ting their water at one OF these foun-
tains and indeed have no water In the
house.
The insurance companies absolutely
refuse to take any insurance on houses
or barns and will insure houses only
under an advanced rate. The rate of
insurance on houses already insured
has advanced some, but is expected
to take a large Jump In the near future
unless something 10 done TO remedy
the condition or affairs.

Sycamore left the Twenty second
street pier ait 8:15 to-day. carrying b25
persons to Esopus to formally notify
Judge Alton B. Parker that he has
been nominated for president by the

little steamer was loaded to the WA
ter line, but the government inspector
said she was not near her full capac-
ity. A drizzling rain was falling and
the gayety OF the occasion was some
what marred by the inclement wealth
er. The members OF the party were
hopeful, however. that the weather
would clear UP by the time the boat
reached Esopus, which will be about

beri of the attacks and their evident
disregard of men, indicated by the
reckless manner in which they storm
ed the outer positions, the state of af-
fairs creates more apprehension than
the war Office or admiralty care to ac-
knowledge. III
Similar misgivi1gs exist regarding
General Kuropatkin's position, the
advantages OF the new Japanese base
at New Chwang In greatly simplify
ing tine problem OF provisioning their
army being fully realized. But. it is
the report that the Japanese are
working up westward OF the main
Russian army which occasions the
greatest unea asiness. The rumor that
they are moving up towards Simintin
a short distance west OF Mukden,
from New Chwang is generally be-
lieved.
With the Japanese cord tightening
south and east and column threat
ening the Russian line of communities
tion in the reas toward Mukdens the
appearance on the other side of Mtk-
den would almost pocket General
Kuropatkin liz he has resolved to ac-
cept battle with his whole army at
LAO Yang. Shrewd military at
taches are extremely doubtful wheth-
er General Kuropatkin could now
withdraw even Ii he so desired.
Another alarming feature of the sit
uation in connection with the Japan
ese western column is the report that
1t includes many Chinese, who are
Japanese subjects, from the island or
Formosa, whose influence ON the local
Chinese and the soldiers OF General
Ma and iVceroy Yuanshikai is feared.

ing Friday Evening

Without doubt. the brightest, wit
tiest, and most humorous of all OF
the Hoyt plays is his "A Trip to
Chinatown" which comes TO the Ar
mory hall next Friday evening. No
expense was spared this season In
bringing the production up to the
standard set by Mr.. Hoyt himself. A
wealth of beautiful scenery and hand
SC me gowns and new stage settings is
the result. which meant the expendi-
ture of large sum of money to the
managers.
A par excellent company has been
selected. which is said to be one of the
best singing companies on the road
The specialties are up to date, and the
soloists people of note. Jack Camp

al reputation as a comedian, and as
sisted by such people as John j..
Black. Frank Beamish. #. Kek Schill-
ing, Dan Mccarthy, Hugh McCor-
mick, Miss Sylvia Starr. Miss Maude
Parker and Miss Carolyn Walker. an
excellent performance is assured.
