which We Govern Ourseyes-The Avon
beach Regular Democratic Club OF
Bath Beach Received at Rosemount.
Esopus, Oct. 49, Imperialism horrid
image was held up and beaten TO jelly on
the veranda at Rosemount this afternoon.
Two delegations came to the home OF the
Democratic candidate for President and
two speakers called his attention to the
terrible goings on in the Philippines, and
tie candidate made in reply speech which
he had not expected to deliver until next
week This speech is the one about which
there has been so much dispute, 1t was
PREDICTED by some of the Parker managers
in New York at time when the Judge had
"ery vague ideas about it,
Until two days ago Judge Park er did not
intend to make any speech to-day, Tor he
expected no one but the pilgrims of the
Avon Beach Regular Democratic Club OF
Bath Beach True these were to be a
hundred strong, but he was going to give
them a handshake and reserve his assault
on lTnppI1anSHl lot lile WISH Ol tlt ltpIt-
sentatives of the independent Parker clubs
of the East. The independents decided to
come to-day and that changed the candi-
dates mind There was chance to talk
to sixscore instead of one, and he took ad-
vantage of it.
The Avon Beachers were expected early
in the afternoon and they were to have
their own little reception and the privilege

to be made to the independents. but the
Beachers were delayed and both crowds
struck here at the same time.
When they marched over the hills it was
easy for the dumbest person to see that tho
independents led by right of silk hats and
whiskers. Most of them looked full of re-
form. The hundred Beachers appeared
more like real Democrats. Many of them
walked about the orchard choosing choice
pippins from the Judges trees; others
betrayed an interest in the live stock, but
the independents had no mind for anything
but the Constitution.
All hands gathered about the south
veranda at given signal. The Avon
Beach Club had no spok esman. hut the in
dependents had two Col. Goldman of
Boston and Prof. Henry W. Harden of

while the other visitors stood on the lawn.
When Judge Parker came out Of the house

the Philippines and quoted from the Demo-

Prof Hardon's speech was longer and
more historical than Col Codman's. He
quoted yards of stuff about pre-, edents
for FilipiGo independence and authorities

country.
When Judge Parker rose to make his
third speech of the campaign Rosemount
wa, quite agog. The farmhands came up
to the house for the great occasion and the
seventeen handsome cats who kill the rats
in the Judges barn left their posts to sit
staidly on the lawn and view their owner
with lustrous eyes. They We're indirectly
responsible for shameful interruption Of
Judge Parkers speech. He had got well
let Teddy out of his kennel and the terrie"
made for the youngest and latest OF the
cats. Ham, the wart ,nosed dog. Joined in
the hunt and in three seconds the cat was
freed and splitting at the dogs, which barked
fercely at it. All this went on within thirty
feet Of the Judge. The scrap diverted
much attention from the speaker and haste
was made to tie up the dogs and chase the
