Forget the Past for the Present, at
 Least, and Meet on Common Ground -Tammany Delegation and National
 Committee Meet Unexpectedly at the
 summer Residence of the Democratic
 candidate-PoliticaI situation Dis
 cussed.
 Esopus, N. Y, July 27.-Members of the democratic national committee made an informal call on Judge Alton B. Parker to-day and found him enter
 taining Leader Charles F. Murphy and other officials of Tammany Hall. For mer Senator David B. Hill and Mir. Murphy joined hands on the Rosemount veranda, and others who have not been political friends for years put aside their differences and. for the day at least, met on common ground
 Mr. Murphy and his colleagues. State Senator Victor J. Bowling and Judge Morgan J. o'Brien. of New York. and Thomas P. Conway, of Plattsburg, ar rived first and were the last to go. Dis cussions of political questions, both na- tional and state, were entered into by the visitors. The coming of the nation al committee was heralded far and wide, but no announcement had been made of the proposed visit of the Tam many delegation. Several of the corn-s mittemen expressed surprise at finding the New York men at Rosemount but Mr. Murphy made no effort to avoid meeting the Parker campaign nianag- Isers, After a long and uninterrupted conversation with Judge Parker, Mr. Murphy and his party had luncheon with the candidate, after which the talk was continued until the arrival of the national committee. Every vehicle lin Esopus was needed to convey the committeeman from the 2:06 o'clock train to Rosemount, and even then second trip was necessary. Judge Par ker welcomed his visitors on the yeran- da. Senator Hill was in Judge Parker's wagonette, which was the first to ar rive. When he saw MT. Murphy he strode toward him with outstretched hand and with a cordial How are you, lMurphy?D
 l The greeting was hearty on both sides. MT. Bowling joined them. and las Judge Parker's attention was engagz l ed in greeting other guests the trio con- yersed for two or three minutes Poli- i tics did not enter into the discussion, however, That was the only time Mir. Murphy and MT. Hill were thrown to- l.gether, except when they posed with others for group photograph. | Judge Parker had met less than half of the members of the committees As | they arrived and were introduced he had pleasant word for each, and from his talk it was evident that he possess led an intimate acquaintance with what leach man was doing in his own state. Chairman Taggart talked with Judge Parker several times during the after noon, and it is likely that he will be frequent called at Rosenount in the next week.
 MT. Taggart said after the conversa- ton that the candidate ought to be his own manager, as he showed a knowl- ledge of everything that is needed to promote an energetic campaign. It
 was agreed that the committee will get together informally in New York to-
 morrow and that the opening of vest ern headquarters will be considered. It has been decided already that the New York headquarters will be removed from the Hoffman house to some office building
 1 Tn addition to the harmony meeting there were number of important de- l velopments, not the least of which was
 an expression from MT. Murphy. Just before taking his departure he said:
 Everything has been agreeable to me.
 am here in common with other demo-
 crats throughout the country to Assist
 in promoting democratic harmony and
 success. Everything that has occui yed
 has impressed me with the fact that
 there is nothing to prevent all demo-
 crats uniting and making a successful
 canvass in the state and nation. New
 York city will give the greatest maJor- l ity ever known.
