The first information of a definite charac-
ter was received by the President while
he was at dinner The returns laid before
him then were in the nature OF assurances
that he had carried New York by plu-
rality SO large as to be really aStound-
ing. While the President was Sratifled.
it may be said the result was not entirely
unexpected, although he himself mad no
anticipation of so tremendous victory.
The bulletins We're read and discussed
by the President with surprising calm
ness. He was in the best OF spirits but
at no time did he manifest the slightest
anxiety. Assured. as he said. that the
campaign had been conducted on a plane
of principle and patriotism as lofty as he
himself would have it. and that every
thing had been done which legitima tcly
could be done to insure the success of the
pril ciples which had been prOmul gated by
the Republican party and by him, he had
awaited with perfect confidence the YER

pARkER's CONGRATULATIONS
Wired the President-Defeated Candi'
date More Hopeful Than His Friends.

Fsopus, - y. Nov. S.-Judge Parker
conceded the election of President
Roosevelt at $50 p. NJ. when he re-
ceived a bulletin that the Democratic
national headquarters had already ad-
mitted that every doubtful state had
been carried by the Republican ma
tional ticket. He appeared to be not
at all downcast by the result, although
it is known that he greatly deplored his
overwhelming defeat in his own state.
He received the discouraging news in
his study, where he sat smoking with
two of his neighbors.
The bulletin from the Democratic
headquarters concerning Judge Par
kers defeat, was given to the judge by
The Associated Press representative.
When asked if he had any statement
to make. he pulled a telegraph blank
toward him and wrote hastily for a
moment. Then he said:
II am going to send this telegram to
President Roosevelt"
The message was dispatched at once.
The message was as follows:
Rosemount. F,sopus. n. Y, Nov. s.
THE President, Washington, d. G.:
proved your administration and l con-
graduate you.
"(Signed) ALTON B. PARKER"
At that hour returns were indefinite
and the judge declined to make an ex-
tended statement. He said his tele-
