THE CAMPAIGN ON
Justice Parker on ' the Lvn at Rose
- mount Receives notification.
ACCEPTANCE HE1RTILY EECEIYED
A Notable Assembly of Democrats
Present on the Occasion. , Many
Congratulations.
i Esopus, N, Y., Aug. 10. Judge Al
ton B. Parker today received formal
notification of his nomination for the
presidency of the United States as the
candidate of the Democratic party
and in accepting gave public expres
for the first time of his views on the
issues of the campaign.
The notification was brought to him
by Representative Champ Clark, of
Missouri, as chairman of a committee
representing every state and territory
lh the Union. Mr. Clark In a brief
speech informed the candidate of his
nomination, and presented to him a
formal communication signed by the
committee. "''. '
. Standing bareheaded, during a brief
lull in the rainstorm which had lasted
since soon after daylight, J udge Park
er accented the nomination and set
forth his views In a speech that evoked
frequent and hearty ; applause' . He
spoke for a little more than half an
hour. . v 1
f The ceremony was held on the lawn
at Bosemont under the trees at the
north of the house, and was attended
by upwards of 600 people, the larger
number of whom came from New York
city with the notification committee on
the steamer Sagamore. The company
included many Democrats of national
prominence as well as a large repre
sentatlve delegation from Tammany
Hall. , ...
There would have been a gala day
gathering from Kfngston and vicinity
where perhaps the judge is best known,
but the raia had been so - heavy4 and
continuous that few local people ven
tured forth. '
It was at first decided to , hold the
ceremonies on the Sagamore, owing
to the storm; but the protest of those
who wanted Judge Parker . notified at
his own house was so ..vigorous that
at the last moment the little platform
erected on the Parker lawn wat hastily
decorated with flags and the ceremon
ies were held there according to the
original plan. ' '.
During most of, the. time occupied by
Champ Clark's speech the rain .was
falling in a steady drizzle, but it stop
ped entlrelyjust as Judge Parker be
gan his address and held off unil he
finished.1.
Representative Clark was speaking
and Judge Parker was standing bare
headed without shelter when a man in
the crowd called:
Somebody hold an umbrella over
Judge Parker."
A number were immediately offered
but .the judge refused them '.with
a courteous wave of the hand. "Jus
tlce for au, .special privileges for
none. '' said Mr. Clark, and the spec
tators showed their appreciation of the
sally by a shout of laughter.
The speech was heard, with Closest
attention and applause frequently pun
ctuated it. Thecandidatesand audience
awoke to a high pitch of enthusiasm
when he spoke of so-called militarism
and imperialism. . , ' '
"Ours Is a world power,'' said he,
'and as such it must be maintained,
that the United States has attained
that eminence."
When he enunciated this , principle
there came a brust ; of cheers that
caused the speaker to wait a few min
utes before he continued. His ' pledge
not to accept a second term if he was
elected aroused instant interest, -which
Increased to marked enthusiasm when
the speaker went on to explain his
position. Then the crowd seemed to
yield to the force of his reasoning and
at the end of a particularly telling
period toward the close of the speech
it gave the candidate the greatest
demonstration of the afternoon. , It
; Sick Headache.
"For several years my .wife was
troubled with what physicians called

looked as though every man, woman
and child in the throng surrounding
the platform had a small American
flag and as they cheered the waving
flags almost concealed the occupants
of the stand. The speaker waited for
the applause to subside and then made
his few concluding remarks, finishing
his address at six minutes before three.
He began his address at 2:18 p. m.
As Judge Parker spoke his closing
words the band struck up "The Star
Spangled Banner," and from the deck
of the yatch Sapphire in the river be
low a number of bombs were fired in
salute. These bursting In the air, re

there were whistle salutes from the

Park. ' .-,-:;!, . -.
, After the ceremony all crowded up
eagerly to shake the candidate's hand
and to congratulate him on his speech

veranda until after 4 o'clock when the
company broke up and the visitors
returned to their boats and trains.

EOT A PATENT MEDIMCIHE '
Hyomel, the Guaranteed Catarrh Cure
Prescribed by Physicians'
No one should confound Hromei
with patent medicines that are adver
tised to cure catarrh. It . is as far
superior to them all as the diamond is
more valuable than cheap elaas. Their
composition is ..secret, but Hyomel
gives Its formula to all reputable phy
sicians. -
Its base is the valuable eucalyptus
oil, famous for its antiseptic qualities.
This is combined with aromatic and
healing gums and balsams, making a
pure liquid which, when used in the
Hyomel pocket inhaler, ' fills he air
you breathe with germ-killing, disease
destroying, and healing powers that
restore health to every part of the
throat, nose and lungs. - . .
is it not foolish to try and cure ca
tarrh by swallowing taVor liquids?
The only natural way to cure this dis

ever in buying Hyomel. .If it did mot
possess unusual powers to cure, , it
could not be sold upon this plan.
-The complete Hyomel outfit costs

HIT ROBBER WITH GOLD.

Chicago,' Aug. 9 A canvas sack,
containing $3,200 In gold and silver,
was the weapon used by F. H. Bartho
lomew today against one of three rob
bers who held him up with r revolvers.
When he struck . the man the . bag
broke and the money scattered in all
directions. The anxiety of the rob
bers to get the cash probably saved
Batholomew's life, for as soon as the
bag burst they busied themselves pick
ing up as much of ' the money as pos
sible before the arrival of the police.
When the trior had secured about
$500 they were . put to flight by a police
man, who answered Bartholomew's
cries. The robbers boarded an elec-
trio car with the policeman in pursuit
in a horse and buggy. Th robbers
made their escape. , .
