Esopus, N. Y, July 25.-Former
Senator James K. Jones of Arkansas.
who will preside Tomorrow at the
meeting of the Democratic National
COMMITTEES; Senator John w. Daniel of
Virginia, chairman of the committee at
st. Louis, which drafted the national
platform and Daniel j. Campau, MEM
Der of the Democratic National Com
mittee from Michigan, were callers at
Rosemount, the home of Judge Alton
B.. Parker Democratic candidate for
President. to-day.
Senator Jones told Judge Parker that
every Democrat who voted for Mr..
Bryan in 1896 and 1000, will vote the
Democratic ticket this fall. Senator
Daniel said that the franchise plank in
the Democratic platform would enable
the party to carry Maryland, West Vir-
ginia and Delaware.
Senator Jones told Judge Parker that
the money question VISA not an issue in
the campaign. except as 1t was made
personal issue by Judge Parker him
self. The fact that there is no money
plank in the platform Is satisfactory to
Democrats who favor free silver, ana
therefore Senator Jones said. Judge
Parker's npsition in declaring for the
gold standard is not offensive to them.
After the conference the visitors
talked with newspaper men while
waiting for ~thei: tr'-sf. ~ New York
Senator Daniels said he had come to
EsoPus prepared to like Judge Parker
He had supported the Judge for the
nomination and knew a great deal
about him. but his great learning and
the clear grasp he has of the business
side of the campaign to be made this
fall particularly appealed to him.
No Speech Making Trip.
Speaking of campaigning generally
Senator Jones said he does not favor
the presidential candidate making n
canvass by going on a general stump
ing tour. From this 1t Is taken that
the subject of personal campaigns was
one OF the topics of the long conference
and that Judge Parker reiterates his
objection to presidential candidates
taking the stump.
1t is not belived that Judge Park
er will leave Rosemount on a speech
making trip. Some promises were
made to Judge Parker by Senator
Jones in regard to the fight that viii
be made to carry certain western
States claimed by the Republicans.
Senator Jones said that IL the Demo-
Gratis in the east and Atlantic States
do as well as he expected. the Demo-
Gratis in some of the western states
which had been termed solid by Demo-
cratic, there will be a Democratic tri-
umph In November.
Asked whether he had given any as
surance to Judge Parker that no sill
yer Democrat would oppose the tick
ct, Senator Jones said:
Il do not think that necessary. As
l have told you. every Democrat will
vote the Democratic ticket this year.
! think Judge Parker understands
that"
Much surprise was caused here to-
day by the anti-Taggart ticket. Mr..
Campau said he had heard little talk
of any one but Taggart. although it
is known that not one of them really
favors the election of Mr.. Taggart
They say they have heard no other
name mentioned among members of
tie committee.
Talk of senator Smith.
One of the visitors asked newspaper
men If there is anything in the talk
for Senator Smith of New Jersey, but
professed not to know whether his
boom has substantial backing. 1t was
learned at Posemount that Senator
Davis had mentioned Mr.. Campau for
the place on the occasion of his visit
to Judge Parker. Senator Davis
spoke of Mr.. Campau as the Nestor of
the commottee. although a young man
in years, and believed him to be we'll
equipped for the Mace if Senator Cor
man declined to accept
Judge Parker's visitors said they had
heard little discussion in relation to
the treasurership of the national COM
mittee. There are two candidates for
the secretaryship and there may be
more before the election tomorrow.
Two names mentioned thus far are C.
w. Walsh Of Iowa, the present sec
rotary and Trey Woodson of owens
boro, Ky.
