Societies OF Chicago. and Lawrence T. NC

Esopus about o'clock this afternoon ard went
Immediately to Rosemount, where they con-

Lieutenant Governor William i Sheehan came
in in the course of the conference. The party
left here on a Western express soon after .

candidate that despite the fractional fights III

TO a meeting but for obvious reasons, l cannot
go into details. II is sufficient to say that our
visit has been all that could desire It to
be and more. Judge Parker will come 10 Chi
cago il he speaks anywhere away from home.
sHEEHAN GETS INSTRUCTIONS.
After the Chicag oans departed, Mr.. Sheehan
tarried long enough 10 get final instructions IN
regard TO the national committee meeting on
Tuesday. He will go 10 New-York at a m
tomorrow, and the general belief here is that
he will carry the candidates consent to the
election of Thomas Taggart. of Indiana. as ma
tional chairman. It has been Il bitter disap-
pointment 20 the Parker boomers that they
could rot induce Senator German 10 take the
helm. and there IS just slight suspicion that
the willy Maryland leader foresaw the outcome
Of the canvass too clearly TO desire any part
in it, and this is a chilling suggestion 4 good
deal is being said here now about Mr. Taggarts
influence in Indiana and his ability TO carry
the State If he is named chairman, hut this
IS more IN the way Of covering up the chagrin
AT the refusal Of German than as result Of
any conviction.
The silence at Rosemount on the subject Of
Charles F. Murphy. the Rappalo negotiations

" dense The report Of the invitation was
neither denied nor affirmed; in fact it was ig-
nored. much as, it appears the invitation itself
was Whether this will assuage the injured
Tammany sensibilities remains to be seen, but
at all events there is no indication on the farm
| that plans have been made 10 kill the fatted
calf in celebration of the coming Of Murphy.
| The candidate is dividing his attention between
his crops and his speech Of acceptance and ap-
| parentIy is undisturbed by the absence Of New
! York Democrats.
WORRIED OVER RESIGNATION.
The question of the chief judges resignation
| is still causing Democrats who desire to get the
| nomination no little worry. 1t suggested at
! the State capital recently that some way might
! be found 10 avoid the necessity Of voting for
either Democrat or a Republican candidate for
the Court Of Appeals this fall to fill the places
reason of age, or Chief Judge Parker. but yet
no evidence Of any plan be detected. There
! are still many who believe that the candidate
will not resign, but accept the advice Of his col
| leagues, who have urged that he IS not bound ny
| any legal or moral obligation 10 do so. But the
friends Of the candidate declare that he has been
| too deeply impressed With tho need OF keeping
a politics out Of the chief court OF the State to
| take any chances now. and they confidently
affirm that his resignation will precede the date
/ when the possibility of voting for his successor
/ this autumn ends. So tried politician Nor
| man L. Mack sarcastcally remarked when he
| was at Rosemount last week that there need be
little anxiety in Democratic minds on this score.
Il IS believed tina: the present week at Rose
mount viii be a busy one. many of the MEM
bers CT the national committee will probably
come UP 10 talk with the candidate, and Incl
1 dentally report the conditions in their respec-
! tive States. Meanwhile the problem Of the
speech OF acceptance. with the attendant neces-
sity Of entirely breaking the sphinx tradition,
