Nomination at His Home.
BELMONT, COCHRAN, M'CARREE, RODT
Rosemount En- Fete Judge Gets
Great OvatiOn-Senator LinsOn
Made a Speech of Com
graduation.

ESOPuS, n. Y, July 15.-Congress-
man Bourke Cochran, August Belmont.
William s. Rody, Senator McCarren OF
the Democratic state committee and
six carloads of enthusiastic friends and
admirers of Judge Alton B. Parker
came down to Rosemount to celebrate
the judges nomination by the Demo
cratic party for the presidency Of the
United States.
Most of those who came were Demo
Gratis but there were not few old Re-
publican friends Of the judge, and the
celebration was designed to be nom
partisan in character. There were
many women in the crowd.
Headed by the First regiment band
Of Kingston, the visitors marched to,
Rosemount and gave Judge Parker
rousing ovation, The speech in behalf
of the visitors was made by former
State Senator John J. Linscn of King
ston.
The feature of the occasion was the
visit of Belmont, Cochran, McCarren
and Rody. The subject of the confer
ence, which was held after the arrival
of the visitors, was not. largely dis
closed.
Congressman Cochran was asked If
he would take the stump for Judge
Parker
''Is it necessary to ask that?" he re-
piled.
He said that he would support the
ticket with his whole heart any way
that appeared likely to help toward
victory.
The conference of Judge Parker with
Senator McCarren was held at the end
Of the yeranda, and they were together
in close conversation about an hour,
after which Senator McCarren was
driven back to the station with Mr..
Hudson.
.ssIt is only a question of the majority
as / see it," said Senator McCarren
after the conference 1.-The question of
campaign funds will not play the part
it has played in the past two cam
paigns. This time 1t is more ques-
ton Of the man than of any issue, and
the decision lies with the people abb
solutely. The sordid element will not
be SO much feature as in the past.
"The minute / saw the gold dispatch
and was with Mr.. Sheehan when he
received ii, / said it was the right
thing under the ciScumstances.'
Asked about the Bryan utterances,
Senator McCarren said that Bryan had
pledged himself on the PLATFORM in the
convention to support the ticket and
that he believed Mr.. Bryan would do
SO. This was all that Senator McCarren
would say for publication.
Mr.. Belmont would say nothing ex-
cept that he was heartily for Judge
Parker
From what was said after the confer
ence there is a strong impression here
that Mr. Sheehan is no longer to be
thought of in connection with the Dem
ocratic national craftsmanship and also
that those in the position Of leadership
do not regard the national committee
as In any way bound to Thomas w.
Taggart Of Indiana.
1t may be said with authority that
the situation in New York city was
not discussed in any of the confer
ences; also that If any one has been
selected for the national Craftsmanship
there is no reliable clew obtainabla
here as to who he is.
Before he left Senator McCarren in
timated that he would return to ESQ
pus some day next week.
