Esopus. N. r.. Aug. 1O.-Judge A E. Parker today received formal nctifica- tion of his nomination for the presi- dency as candidate of the democratic party and in accepting. gave public ex- pressicn for the first time, of his views on the issues of the campaign.
 Notification was brought to him by Representative Champ Clark of Mis- souri. as chairman of the committee representing every state and territory MT. Clark in a brief speech informed the candidate of his nomination and presented to him the formal commun- ication signed by the committee.
 Standing bareheaded during a brief lull in the rainstorm. which had lasted since soon after daylight, Judge Parker accepted the nomination and set forth his views in a speech that evoked frc- quent and hearty applause. He spoke for little more than half an hour.
 The ceremony was had on the lawn at Rosemont. under the trees at the north of the house. and was attended by upwards of 600 people, the larger number of whom came from New York with the committee on the steamer Sagamore. The company included many democrats of national promi- hence. as well as a large and represen tative delegation from Tammany hall.
 There would have been gala day gathering from Kingston and vicinity where perhaps the judge is best known, but the rain had been so heavy and continuous that only a few local peOcle even Venuured forth.
 It was first decided to hold the cer- emOnies on the SaGamore, owing to the storm. but the protest of those who wanted Judge Parker notified at his own house was SO vigorous that at the last moment the little platform erected on the Parker lawn was hastily decor ated with flags and the ceremonie. were held there. according to the orig inaI plan.
 During most of the time occupied by i Champ Clark's speech the rain wa. falling in a steady drizzle, but i stopped entirely just as Judge Parke NbeGan his address. and held off unti 1 he finished.
 Representative Clark was speakin: and Judge Parker was standing bare | headed without shelter when a man il 1 the crowd called: Somebody hold al umbrella over Judge Parker" A mum | Der were immediately offered, bu Judge Parker refused. Justice for all special privileges for none," said MT Clark and the spectators showed thei appreciation of the sally by shout Q | laughter.
 THE AIR HELD ITS BREATH. | While Judge Parker was speakinj there was no need of shelter. The rail stopped and not a. breath of air stirred In the stiffness. every word could b ! heard distinctly to the farthest bor ders of the, crowd.
 Responding to MT. Clark's speech O notification Judge Parker said:
 MT. Chairman and Gentlemen O the Committee. I have resigned tn office of chief judge of the court O appeals in this state. in order that may accept the responsibility that tn great convention you represent ha put upon me. without possible preju dice to the court to which I had tn honor to belong. or to the eminen members of the judiciary of this state of whom I may now say as a privat citizen I am justly proud.
 At the very threshold of this re sponse and before dealing with othe subjects I trust. in justice to myse and to relieve my sense of gratitud express my profound appreciation ( the confidence reposed in me by tn convention. After nominating m and subsequently, receiving q commur ication declaring that I regarded tn gold standard as firmly and irrevoca bly established. a, matter concernin which I felt it incumbent upon m
 to make known my attitude so tha hereafter no man could justly say tha his support had been secured throug
 indirection or mistake. the conver
 ton reiterated it's determination tha I should be the standard bearer of tn
 party in the present contest. Tn
 mark of trust and confidence l sha ever esteem as the highest honor tha
 could be conferred upon mean honc that. whatever may be the fate of tf campaign. the future can in no degre lessen or impair.
