Judge Parker Visits New York.

New York, Sept. 15.-Judge
Alton B. Parker arrived in this
city from Esopus to-day, estab-
lished his headquarters in the
new Astor Hotel, and after ten
hours Of hard work, in which he
was ably assisted by William F.
Sheehan and Henry G. Davis,
the Democratic nominee for the
Vice Presidency, he inspired new
life into the campaign and evolved
order out Of the Democratic chaos.
The most significant result Of
this timely visit OF the Deinocra.
tic nominee was the official an-
nouncement by Mr.. Sheehan, as
head of the Democratic National
Executive Committee, that Sena-
tor Arthur Pue German, of Mary
land, would actively direct the
national campaign from this time
forward. He will not supplant
Thomas Taggart as Chairman, but
will devote his energy to the bat
tlefield in the Eastern and Allan
tic States, and his experience as
the sucdessful director of two ma
tional campaigns will be of in
valuable assistance to his party.
Another remarkable result of
Judge Parkers's visit was the de.
termination of the state by nam
ing for the Governorship man
of full stature, who would invite
victory, and with this end in view
Daniel S. Lamont, of Cortland
and New York, was summoned
and asked to lead the state ticket.
He was told that his acceptance
would make victory doubly sure,
and the leaders forcefully impress
sed upon him their judgement
that even at the sacrifice of his
private interests it was his duty
to answer his party's call.
Mr.. Lamont, however, would
not yield, because he believes that
with man of the Edward A.
Shepard type the party would be
victorious. But the leaders have
not given up all hope of inducing
\ him to make the race.
Mr.. Taggart, the national IN ana
gers agree, is one of the best-post-
ed men in the West on Middle
Western conditions, and will bend
bis energies to winning the doubt
full states in that section, but no
move will be made by his coadju-
tors in the East, Messrs, Sheehan
and German, until he has been full
ly informed and consulted.
| AT the conclusion of a three
hour conference, participated in by
Judge Parker, Senator German
and Thomas F. Ryan, the an
nouncement was made that Sena.
tor German will actively direct the
Democratic campaign in the East
ern and Atlantic States.
This declaration was not sur
prising to those who were familiar
with conditions at Democratic
headquarters when Senator Cor
man was summoned here last week
1t was openly stated at that time,
and each time denied, that Sena.
tor German had come on here be.
cause Judge Parker and Senator
Davis, the Vice Presidential can
didate, were not wholly satisfied
with the work that was being done
, by the National Committee. There
is no plan, however, to sbelve Mr.
Taggart. He will return from In
diana next week, probably OF
Tuesday, and will resume the du
ties Of Chairman of the Nationa
Committee. Senator German will
probably occupy an Office at head
quarters and will advise the mana
gers.
All the Democratic managers
, called on Judge Parker at the Ho
tel Astor, and to each he gave in
structions as to how, in his estima
ton, the campaign should be con
Quoted. He made it plain to al
the leaders that he wishes to hav,
eliminated at once the impression
which has gone forth that tn,
Democratic party is tolerant o
trusts and allied interests. TIL,
