New York, Oct. 6.-Tomorrow Judge
Parker will return to the beloved
Rosemount, weary for the nonce Of
political plans and party battles he
will hasten to the wilds Of an upper
Hudson river town where his family
awaits him and where he has horse
to ride. II possible he will arrange
all conferences tomorrow so that he
may get away upon the IL o'clock train
in the morning and it is frankly con-
fessed that longing for a canter over
the two hundred acres Of his estate,
will be the primal cause of depart.
ure seven hours earlier than he had
originally planned
1t may be said with confidence that
this stay in New York has been the
most satisfactory of any to the Demo
cratic nominee. He has received as
surances from more varied sources
than at any time since the campaign
began, that the fight he is making is
by no means hopeless. Two months
ago 1t was declared that with the ad.
vent of October a trend toward DEM
ocracy was expected to set in. That
this wave has made its appearance
is now the firm belief of the national
managers and of the nominee.
Within the past three days they
have come to consider New Jersey as
q probable electoral asset. Today word
was brought to Judge Parker by Sen
ator Clark and former Lieutenant Gov.
ernor Spriggs that the labor element
of Montana has declared for the Dem.
ocratic national ticket. Similar re.
ports have come from Colorado. New
York is regarded as much more likely
to go Democratic than Republican.
Whatever may be the real situation
the couriers have brought good tidings
to the Seville.
Possibly these things have been re.
sponsible for the statement issued at
national headquarters today that Judge
Parker has finally decided not to go
upon the stump. He has always been
opposed to the idea of a candidate s
speaking, reckoning the good that
might come to him from closer contact
with the people, against the chances
of q demoralizing blunder. Precedent
also was considered and the nominee
weighed the fact that Mckinley and
Cleveland were both silent mysteries
when first elected. Nevertheless he
would probably have yielded to the
national committee IL the latter had
demanded swing around the circle
His closest friends, tonight, are of the
opinion that the final decision not to
put him upon the stump, followed a
conference at which it was considered
that an entirely satisfactory and ex,
pected Democratic trend has begun
to show itself
Judge Parker dined tonight with per
sonal friends at an uptown restaurant
His callers today were: Senator Ar
thur Pue German, DR.. Charles w. p
Brock, of Richmond, Va; Howard
Taylor Of the Parker constitution club
of New York. former Senator George
N. Morse Of Connecticut, Judge Braw
ley of South Carolina, former Governor
Hauser of Montana, Hungarian dele
