FOR SALE BY a young lawyer in his early twenties By 1877, when Parker was twenty, six, he had already made his talents and energy so well known In Ulster county that he was asked to take tho democratic nomination for surroeato He was in the minority party and the democratic ticket went down to d feat, but so remarkably large was the vote for Parker that cn election nieht the returns for surrogate was still in doubt. When the count was complete It was found that Parker alone had pulled through. Except in the lare-e- r cities, the surrogate is not debarred from the practice of his profession. In 1883 Parker was A word should be said about Judge Parker's political leadership at this time. Parker was in close and intimate relations with the Albany of latter days and was a warm friend of President Cleveland. Early in 1895, he was summoned by a telegram to Washington, where President Cleveland offered him. the post of first assistant postmaster general of the United States. The salary was $5,000. re-elect- ed reg-enc- y Parker thought the matter over although his salary as surrogate and was only $3,000, he promptly declined the place, as he feared that to withdraw frem the active life of his own county would mean the loss of his practice, which gave every promise of being e tablished within a very few years. The time was at hand when Parker should definitely retire from politics, although he was not yet half through his thirties. On the urgent solicitation of the democratic leaders Parker consented. In the autumn of 1885, to act as chairman of the democratic executive committee in the state campaign. That campaign is still spoken of as one of the most efficient and successful campaigns of the past generation. With practically no campaign funds Parker fought an uphill fight wherein few hoped for success, and ended the campaign with a decisive victory. Here his political service came to an end, for in December cf tbe same year, 1885, he was appointed to a vacancy on the bench of the Supreme court. In the following year he was elected to a full term, the republicans paying him the compliment of running no candidate. He was only thirty-fiy- e years old. Judge Parker was appointed to sit in what was then the general term cf the Supreme court a court composed of three or four judges sitting en banc to review the judgments of their brethren on the circuits. Owing to the amount and importance of the business in New York In 1892 county, additional judges were sent to the general term there and Judge Parker has become known to the metropolitan bar chiefly through his service as a member cf the general term from 1892 until the courts abolition by the new constitution of 1894. The present appellate division of the Supreme court succeeded to the jurisdiction of the old general term, ana when. Judge Barrett was disabled by illness from sitting in the appellate division and a Judge had to be sent from It was up the state to take his place,division the justices of the appellate themselves, at whose request Justice Parker was again assigned to the onerous duties of the first department.or In 1897 he was elected chief judge or the court of appeals by a majority baa over sixty thousand. The state over given a republican majority ofa ye two hundred and fifty thousand before. FOR SALE.
