He said his telegram to tha president conveyed everything about tbs situation that he knew; that tbe result was evident, even though details were lacking. Ths demeanor of Judge Parker as he heard the bulletins read was of cheerful resignation. He wore the air of one who could. If he would, I will die game," and die game he did. He discussed the returns with his friends and compared the figures with former years. It might have been some other maaa defeat for all the concern he seemed to feel.
