600. and with certain defeat staring him in

Mayor Harrison. who made hurry visit to the
city on the request of William F. Sheehan told
Mr.. Parker that he thought 1t was too late In
the campaign fOr speaking to do much good, but
that If he hoped TO carry any OF the doubtful
states he would have to get out and show him
self at once. as@many Democrats would not vote

Never was there greater state OF chaos IN a
national campaign than that presented at this
time by the Democrats. month ago MT.
Parker after thinking the matter over with
T1f in mi hat he En1Il6 m
the stump, as it was more befitting candidate
to stay at home as Mckinley did in 1896 and
let the people come to him.
Mr.. Parker's campaign managers tried to
make the best Of 1t. They said that there would
be delegations at Esopus every day, and that
the candidate could speak to many thousands
first, but the delegations which made the
trip up the river usually consisted of less than
three hundred. the managers soon tired of the
idea. The end of the visiting delegation plan
came on Saturday last. when a lot of Bob
Davis's men from Union Hill called on Judge
Parker heard his speech and then took away
az souvenirs two of his young pigs some stray
cats and lot of the candidates seed corn.
These IL is said. are being advertised as prizes
at a big dance to be given in Union Hill this
week.
The preliminary canvass of this county by
Tammany Hall. showing that Parker and Davis
would have plurality not to exceed 65,CG0, sent
a cold chill down the spines Of the Parker man
ayers. AS this meant 10000 plurality for
Parker below The Bronx, 1t spelled sure de-
ASdt lot democracy.
Mr.. Sheehan grew desperate. He sent for
Mayor Harrison, who reached this city yester-
day morning at o'clock MessTs. Sheehan and
Harrison spent some time with the candidate
yesterday. They told him bluntly that If he
didn't get out and do something for the tickeC
he would not have the slightest chance OF being
elected He protested that he was on record as
saying that he would not make regular cam
paign speeches except those at his home. They
retorted that the case was growing more and
more desperate for him every day. and that the
only thing left for him to do was to try to elect
himself
The meeting Monday night at the garden
will be under the direction of the Parker and
Davis Business Mems Association The chair
man Of the meeting will be IsidOr Straus and
Hoke Smith, of Georgia, and others will MAKE
