SPALDING GETS NEW SHERIFF
AND NEW CLERK WEDNESDAY
»
An Exciting Primary in Which Over Fifteen Hun-
dred Votes Are Cast.
Spalding county had one of the
most exciting primaries in her his
tory Wednesday, in which 788 votes
were cast at this precinct and 733 in
the rest of the county. The contests
were over the offices of clerk,
sheriff, receiver, collector and
treasurer,and when the country pre
cincts brought in a considerable
majority against the incumbents of
- first- three offices, the interest
became intense as to the result in
town.
Receiver Johnson received enough
votes here to overcome the adverte
majority in the country, but Sheriff
Freeman and Clerk Thomas were
not so successful and the result is
that B. C. Head will bo sheriff and
W. H. Wheaton clerk after the
first of next J muary.
The Griffin vote was not counted
out until half past eleven, and the
figures on Simmons and Russell
could not be obtained, but the latter
carried the town district and the
county. The figures on the contest
ed places are as follows:

JUDGE ALTON BROOKS PARKER,
The Candidate of New York Democrats for lhe Presidency.
Judge Alton Brooks Parker, for
whom the New York Democratic con
vention instructed its delegates Monday
to cast their votes for the presidency at
the St. Louis convention, is in bis
prime. He is in his fifty-third year,
tall, well-built and vigorous. He lives
at .’Esoptis, in Ulster county,New York,
where he has a country place, and
when not on the bench devotes his
time to sciontific farming. The judge’s
house is a fine old colonial mansion,'
which he has named Rosemount, and
it stands on a wooded bill overlooking
the Hudson valley. It is a spacious
house, with wide piazzas.
Is Interested in His Farm.
No farmer in that section of ths State
take as much interest as Judge Parker
in his farm. He has applied scientific
methods and raises bigger crops than
any of bis neighbors. Should be reach
the presidency he will probably give an
amount of attention to the interests of
agriculture second oniy to that pain by
George Washington.
Socially Judge and Mrs. Parker are
the leaders of the district known as the
west bank of the Hudson. The judge’s
home is seldom without guests. He
entertains with elegant hospitality.
Mrs. Parker is a member of the old
Schoonmak: r family, which cut such
a figure in the early history of Ulster
county. She was born in Rochester and
is a descendant of Jockem Schoon
maker, head of the original Holland
Dutch settlement at Kingston, N. Y.
Mrs. Parker will preside with dignity
and grace in the White house if her
husband is elected.
Judge and Mrs. Parker were married
in Rochester in 1873, and they had two
children, a son, who died at the age of
- and a daughter, who is the wife of
NEGRO SHOOTS HIS WIFE
AND SERIOUSLY WOUNDS HER
Driven to Desperation by Jealousy, Butler Ham Tries
to Kill Beatrice Ham, tijs Wife.
Butler Ham, the colored janitor
for Sheriff Freeman, shot his wife
Beatrice Ham three times last
night about seven o'clock and seri
ously wounded her, the shooting
taking place near the electric light
house. She was carried to the of
fice ot Dr. J. F Stewart, where her
wounds were attenaed to, and the
doctors state she has a cbauce to
recover.
After doing the shooting Ham
went at once to the jail, turned hie
pistol and knife over to Will Free
man, Jr., and gave himself up,
being locked in a cell by the young
son of the sheriff; nut would not
givelout any stat* men', except to
say that he shot his wife.
He has been employed by Sheriff
Freeman for ten years and was
consided a quiet, good negro and
the Rev. Charles Mercer Hall, rector of
the . Episcopal church of the Holy
Cross, Kingston, N. Y.
Judge Parker has never been beaten
in elections. He was chosen surrogate
of Ulster county and then supreme
court judge. Di 1897 he was elected
to the presidency of the court of ap
peals, and that gave him a record as a
vote getter which many do not under
stand fully. He was elected over Judge
Wallace.
At. the same election there was the
first contest for control of the Greater
New York. Judge Wallace was on the
Republican ticket with General B. F.
Tracy, the Platt candidate for mayor.
The Citizens’ Union party did not put
the name of Wallace on its ticket, with
the result that the entire Low vote
was either lost or went for Porker.
He Managed the Hill Campaign.
Judge Parker managed the New
• York gubernatorial campaign of
David B. Hill in 1885. lie proved a
manipulator of great skill, and, in the
face of bitter opposition, he elected
Hill over Ira Davenport. He was also
a delegate to the Democratic conven
tion in Chicago in 1884, and voted for
Cleveland.
I rged by all the powerful leaders of
his party to become a candidate for
governor in 1891, Judge Parker again
firmly but respectfully declined. After
Governor Hill’s election in 1891 it was
urged upon Judge Parker that he be
come a candidate for election to the
United States senate, but this office
was also declined, the judge saying
that he preferred his law books . Gov
ernor Hill was el *cted in his stead.
Judge Parker is a man of great am
iability and dignity. He ties to his
friends and has the respect of all who
1 know him.

convicts escaped from the county
farm a few davs ago, the sheriff

—The Democratic State convention met
here at two o’clock this afternoon and
organized by electing George Raines
Monroe as chairimin.
The first session of the convention
was given over to routine work ot
merely State interest, alter which ad
journment was taken until 8 o’clock to
night, when the program for the elec
tion of delegates to the nrtional conven
tion at St. Louis and binding them with
iron-clad instructions to vote forjudge
Alton B. Parker for nominee for the
presidency was fully carried out. The
four delegates at large elected are
David B. Hill, of Albany; Edward
Murphy, of Rensaaleer; James W.
Ridgeway, of Brooklyn, and Augustus
Belmont, of New York City.
Charles F. Murphy, Tammany’s
leader, will go as a district delegate. It
was thought at one time Murphy would
be allowed by the Hill crowd to name
one of the delegates at large, iu which
event he would have chosen Bourke
Oockran, but last night's developments
mad>- it quite certain that no one but
those who are heart and soul for Par
ker would be allowed among the big
Four.
