land article although he would not make any
public comment on it. II apparent that the
strength OF the Endorsement Of his candidacy
there contained had excited his keenest ap-
probation. He has been fairly certain FOR sew
eral weeks that the former President would sup
port him. not merely In formal way pu' by
actually taking the platform for him. He had
received several dispatches from Buzzards BAY
where Mr. Cleveland WIS visiting and written
at least one important letter there. but the con-
crete expression of approval in that article or
the former President, widely copied this morn
ing, pleased him greatly. Even the absence or
Charles F. Murphy seemed less irritating by
comparison. To be sure. there are reasons Tor
believing that this publication will excite the
rancor of the radicals. and possibly a counter
blast from Bryan himself.
w r Sneehan who returned from New-York
this afternoon to stay until Monday, followed
Judge Parker's course in declining to discuss
ex-President Cleveland's article. but showed
similar pleasure and satisfaction that it haC
been written. Both he and Judge Parker have
regarded the recent publications OF the former
President as by no means bids for ( fourth
nomination. but merely attempts 10 explain away
the acts Of his administration that We're most
criticised by the radical elements CT the party,
in order that If possible the breach between the
two elements of the party might DE healed. This
Endorsement of the chief judge is regarded
here as a clear demonstration of the truth OF
this belief
The only fact in evidence at Esopus to-day
was the continued belief that the refusal OF
Senator German TO serve national chairman
not final and that there still 4 posi-
bility that he might accept The hope was
clearly father to the belief in this instance.

Judge Parker early this morning aroused the
sleepers on the Sapphire while taking his morn
ing swim. The yacht sailed about = o'clock.
The repeated assertion that Charles f. Murphy
had been invited TO Esopus is still without any
sustaining evidence. The story seems to have
originated in some such fashion as this. which
is the accepted version here: When w. Bourke
Cochran paid his formal cal; here last week it
is suggested that ne in-i'nhted that Mr.. Murphy
might like to come up and talk with the can
didate when he had sufficiently recovered from
his st. Louis experience to quit Mount Glenn
ems. Then. so the story goes, the judge said
with something the tone ne had adopted
toward every Rosemount pilgrim. that he would
be very glad TO see Mr. Murphy. and the con-
crop
on his return to New-Y York, Mr. Cochran sed-
ulously circulated the report that Charles F.
Murphy had been invited TO Rosemount. AS a
matter OF fact only four Democrats have been
invited to come TO Rosemount. and only one has
accepted the invitation The four thus honored
are ex-Senators Davis ana Hill Senator German
and Congressman Hearst. Moreover II is init
mated here that the last named had next to the
Nice-Presidential nominee. Che most pressing in
vitation. which, by the way, he has not ac-
cepted although the Chief Judge has strong
reasons for believing that he will. The support
of the papers controlled by the Congressman has
been promised
The visit Of Norman +. Mack set adrift in
teresting gossip about timber for Governor in
the Western part of the State. The leaders
have been carefully watching the reports that
the Republican Mayor of Buffalo Erastus G.
Knight, would be named for Governor and have
selected two men. Charles W. Goodyear of Buff
ialo, a former law partner Of Grover Cleveland
and W. Caryl Ely of Niagara. general manager
OF the International Traction Company as pos
sible opponents. Goodyear who : reputed to
be wealthy, is championed by "Fngi' Corners
Tammany's friend. and Ely is Norman Z.
Mack's candidate.
MURPHY MAY NAME GOVERNOR.
The firm belief here is that Charles f. Murphy
be good. and it has been asserted here that this
matter is settled, but not from authoritative
sources. In any event, there seems to be wide
spread opinion that Controller circuit is not a
possibility and that John 3. Stanchield or
Mayor Mcclellan are the two men most likely
TO be named, with District Attorney Jerome as a
close third, if he makes his peace with Tam
many and is accepted by that organization.

his most influential boomer. ex-senator David r.

here, where the continued absence OF the State
leader caused endless comment. The only ex-
PLANTATION combining harmony with absence is
the notion that fer political effect the two men
have agreed TO stay apart as long as possible
in order that the general notion OF the influence
of the former Senator over the candidate NAV
be discounted and the ranking charge that Par
ker IS Hills man may be confuted that is
SO far as appearances go.
There are reasons for believing that several
important conferences are scheduled TO be held
at Rasemount i'm the next two days although
not the slightest hint Of their character nor OF
the conferrees has been dropped. Still the time
for the naming Of the national chairman is an
preaching. and there is a possibility that the
Chief Judge may once more urge ex-Iieutenan.
Governor Sheehan to accept, provided Senator
German still refuses. In any event Sheehar
and the candidate are likely to spend much
time together between now and Monday and in
the interim the Chief Judge will be hard AZ
work on his speech Of acceptance.

judge has been deferred until Tomorrow al
