ITEMIZED STATEMENT
NEW YORK. Oct, 81.—Judge Park-
er tonight made his first platform ap
pearance away from home at Esopus
since his nomination as the Democrat
ic candidate for president. He ad
dressed a monster mass meeting held
In Madison Square Garden,
reception was attended by a demon
stration seldom equaled, both In the in
tensity and the duration of the enthu
siasm displayed. The nearest approach
was that which followed the nomina
tion of Judge Parker at Stl Louie .-and
later the endorsement by the same
convention of the candidate’s now fa
mous gold telegram.
Not only was the appearance o
Judge Parker cheered but every men
tion of his name by speakers who pre
ceded him provoked outbreaks of op-
plause. The tumult of unrestrained
enthusiasm which accompanied Judge
Parker’s entrance to the garden was
In contrast to the close attention gaven
him during his speech of not more than
half an hour. While his address
punctuated by applause the thropg
which filled the garden to Its capacity
was markedly considerate in its treat
ment of the candidate. He had but to
raise hla hand to gain control 0/ his
audience. Though his voice was not
strong it is said he could be heard in
.every part of the building.
The Great Crowd.
Two hours before Judge Parker was
scheduled to arrive at Madison Square
'Garden it was evident there would not
be one seat vacant in the mammoth
structure. At 4:30 p. m. the line in
front of the entrance began to form.
I>oors were not opened until 6 o’clock.
Under control of 850 policemen the
crowd entered the building in an or
derly manner. In less than two hours
standing room was at a premium and
i--ny wvr- turned away uuublo to got
Jicnr the gasaem p • v *
The meeting was called to order ex
actly at 8 o’clock by J. Hamden Robb,
president of the Business Men’s Asso
ciation, who in tho briefest possible
speech introduced Isador Straus, who
presided. Mr. Straus spoke of the
meeting at Carnegie Hall, where he
said was introduced "the president that
was,” and announced thnt at this meet
ing would be introduced "the president
that will be.” It was severnl minutes
before he could proceed. The nudlefice
arose en masse and waved flags and
shouted Itself honrst. He thqp took
up the subject of tariff reform, which
alone, he declared to be sufficient to
make the great mass of thinking voters
cast their ballots for Alton B. Parker.
The demonstration of the few mo
ments before was repented and out
done. The throng cheered for thirteen
minutes, pausing long enough only to
gain greath for n renewed outbreak.
Hoke Smith Spoke.
Hoke Smith of Georgia, former sec
retary of the Interior. ( was then Intro
duced and he started his speech In a
happy vein, announcing that the can
didate would not arrive for more thnn
halt an hour and that so far an he was
concerned he would prefer to hear the
audience cheer than to go on with his
speech. He suggested that lie would
speak when they would let him and
stop when the peop)* wanted to cheer.
He congratulated New Ycrk Demo-’
crats for the part they played In na
tional campaigns, praising Mayor Me-
C’lellan and Judge Herrick. His refer
ences to New York caught the crowd,
and when some one in a far corner of
the garden returned the compliment by
loudly cheering for the Sunny South
nearly every one in the audience re
sponded.
Mr. $mlth had Just begun a discus
sion of President Roosevelt’s Panama
policy when at 9 o’clock Judge Parker
entered the building. He was accom
panled by a committee of fifty Demo
crats conspicuous In state and national
campaigns, and the party was given
an ovation, which was begun at the
Hotel Seville, where the candidate has
headquarters, and continued until he
reached the gardens. He entered the
building by the east entrance beneath
the platform, and as he came In Slew
of the audience the signal of his ap
proach had been given and the terrific
cheering started. Everybody In the
building sprang to his feet. The ap
plause was one contlnous roar,
soon as the candidate reached the plat
form he took a seat near the speakers'
table. \
The Band Facitiout.
Chairman Strauss made no attempt
to Introduce him. It was impossible
to distinctly hear the bands half way
across garden, until the leader caught
the spirit of the occasion and played
such selections as -There’ll Be a Hot
Time,” -Way Down In My Heart I’ve
Got a Feeling For You’ and some of
the* patriotic selections as wen.
these the audience joined in song. Af
ter sixteen minutes came a moment’!
lull, and Chairman Strauss tried to
quiet the demonstration, but falted. and
the band played tautingly ”T Was Only
Teasing You ” Another minute passed
and Judge Parker stepped to the fore,
but this tended only to excite the audl
enee. which refused to subside until
twenty-four minutes of unbroken en
thusiasm had passed.
Mr. Smith permitted his speech to
stand unfinished.
Judge Parker followed his manu
script to the letter, but delivered his
in a forceful manner. dc»p:

Bight of thousands ot cheering, enthu
siastic spectators on the World’s Fair
grounds, A. Roy Knabenahu. of Toledo,
in command of Thomas S. BuUlwln’a
airship, California Arrow, today re
turned to tho place from which ho
started, covering throe and one-half
Vnllea, part of th^way ngalnBt an eight
mile wind.
KnAbcnnhue started from tho aoro-
nnutlo course at 8:37 p. m., and re
turned at 4:05 p. m. On tho return
trip tho airship sailed nlowly over tho
exact spot from it hud risen twenty
minutes previously and glided about
100 feet further west, where It settled
gracefully to the ground. Tho descent
of tho Arrow was the signal for u great
demonstration. Dosens of eager hands
wero upntretched to grasp tho frnino
of the flying muchlne whlch^wlth Its
navigator’ was carried around tho
course on the shoulders of shouting
en.
The Arrow rose slowly and easily, Its
prow directed toward the west. When
at a height of twenty-five feet Knabon-
shuo turned the rudder and the nerlni
craft, ahswerlng to its helm, pointed
south nnd continued Its flight without
Interruption.
Knabenshue at tho time was not high
enough to clear the aeronautic fence
and ns he rnpldly approached It tho
crowd held Its breath, fearing that tho
craft would be dashed against the bar
ricade and the aeronaut Injured
killed. But Knabenshue, waving his
cap to assure those who were follow
ing his every move, moved toward the
rear of the airship. The Arrow point
ed Its prow upward and, answering
the pull of the propeller, soared lightly
over the fence snd rapidly gained an
altitude of 1.000 feet.
After proceeding about half a mile
westward Knabenshuo turned the air
ship about and again passed over tho
concourse at the same time Increasing
hls altitude until he was 2,000 feet
above the earth.
Knabenshue continued in a generally
eastern direction until over the Can-

NEW YORK Oct. 31.—Nine national
political conventions wero hold this
year, and nine candidates for president
and vice president of tho United Staten
were nominated, but only six electoral
tickets will be generally voted for one
week from tomorrow. Besides "the
jtwo great political parties,” seven oth
ers made nominations—People's, Pro
hibition, Socialist, Socialist Labor,Con
tinental (Labor), National Liberty.
(Negro), and Lincoln (Negro). The
two negro parties, however, apparent
ly ended their work when the national
conventions adjourned, as no electors
have been selected, or at least nono
will appear on any official ballot; and
the Continental party seems to be con
fined to Illinois, and, perhaps to Chica
go, the place of Its origin.
The terms of thirty United States
Senators expire March 4th next. Seven
of tho vacancies have already be* »
filled, and the legislatures of twenty-
three states to be elected November
8th will fill the other twenty-three.
Members of the house of representa
tives are to be voted for in all except
three states-Maine, Vermont and Ore
gon, which have already elected their
congressmen.
In twenty-seven states a governor
nnd all, or nearly all, the elective state
officers are to be chosen; in five stntes
minor state officers are to be selected,
and, In thirteen electors are to be voted
for.
8outh Carolina’s Distinction.
South Carolina enjoys ih4? distinc
tion of having only one ticket in the
field. All tho other states have from
four to six, Illinois leading with seven.
There are three RspublU in tickets In
Delaware, but only one variation In tho
names of tho*candidates, the nominee
for governor of the “Regulare” refus
ing to abide by 1 the deelslo , of the fnc-
onf.nMK- which i.-suited in the
withdrawal of tho "Union” enndldato-
nnd nn ngreemont upon i compromise
tlckot. The Republicans In Wi n m
will hnve n choice b two tickets
for state officers, the "Stalwarts” hav
ing decided to keep up their light
against IstFollrtU. Tho electors on
both tickets, however, nr© identical.
Tho Democrats and Peoplo's party,
or Populists, fused on the state ticket
In Kansas and Nebraska, but In both
stntes tho People’s pnrty lUtauM separ
ate president!! elector*. In Nevda tho
Democrats nnd one wing of the silver
pnrty divided th*- vnlnot state officers
to bo voted for. but the “Stalwart 811-
ver" men put up their own electors.
Tho People’s party, which indorsed
Mr. Brynn In 1896 nnd 1900, has nn
active organisation hi thirty-three <>f
the forty-flvn atntes. the nominees for
state officers nnd electors being on the
official ballot In twelve States, nnd for
electors in twenly-orffc Efforts to thin
end wero made In u number of other
states, but the requisite number or
signatures to petitions wero not ob
tained.
The Prohibitionists have electoral
and elate tickets In twenty-seven
states, and electoral tickets In twelve
others—one lesa than In 1900.
Tho Socialists (called In some Mines
Social Democrats) have electoral nnd
atate ticket* In thirty-two states, and
lectoral tickets in c|e V < n others -
