Albany, N. Y.. Special.?Alton 13. Parker ceased to be Chief Judge of the Court of Appeals of this State at 3:20 p. in. Friday, and became the untrameled candidate of the Democratic party for the presidency of the Fnited States, lacking only the formal notification of bis j uninalion, which will take place J. at Rosemouut next Wednesday afternoon. Without any advance announcement or i: imation of hi; purpose, he cnmo ; to Albany, took part with five of tho j ether judges in clearing up practically 1 all oi tho cases which had been argued | bef v tho court, and then sent a ines- j r id nn; nis i or nun resignation in tli< ( :flco of tlie Secretary of Statjt, as ' the (institution and public ollh< rs' law i n- aired. 1 ! left Ksopus at 1 ?i:"t? a. in., accompanied by the newspaper men who hav? been on duty at Itosemount over sir.< his nomination. I'ntil after the train had left Kingston, he would not divulge his destination. Few people in the uay coach in which ho rode appeared to recognise him. though there were 1 one or two Ulster eounty acquaintances with whom he chatted until the train reached Kingston, lie arrived in Al- > ktny just after 1 o'clock, and after j luncheon went to the capital and at | once joined in consultation with his colleagues over the cases pending he- ' fore the court. The consultation lasted a little over one hour, and at 3:05 the judges med into the co^rt room and i handed down In Ihp rl?>rL- C.C. ilm.lclnno I which practically cleared up the busi- 1 ness before he court. The only cases remaining tre two or three in the ! hands of Judges Gray and Bartlott, who j are in Hurgpo. All of the cases in which Judge Parker was assisting judge were disposed of. An interesting feature of the session of the court was ; that the judges were without the long, bin k silk robes which they ordinarily ' wear. This was owing to the fact that the session was unexpected and \ tin i had not been time to get the j robes, which had been packed away for | the summer. The judges present were: Parker, O'Brien, Martin, Vatin. Cullen and Werner. The court was in session less than two minutes, and adjournment was j taken until October II. It is a long time since any such number of decisions has been handed down at one sft- | ine of the court. His business as Chief Judge being thus completed. Judge Parker then i took up the matter upon which ho had come to Albany, the tiling of his resignation. He called in all the newspaper men. took them through the court ! chambers aipl consultation rooms, and introduced each one to his Associate Judges, in his own room, which ho has occupied so long, he stopped and looked out of the window to the distant hills across the Hudson. His voice trembled perceptibly as he said: "This room, hoys, was mine." The very slight emphasis upon the word "was" was the first Indication he had given of his intention to resign. Returning to the consultation room, he took a long envelope from his pocket, and, turning to Ruell C. Andrews. one of the officials of the court, said: "Andrews, will > ou do a kindness for me? Just, taf e this down stairs and file it with tl.? Secretary of I Stat?." The document read: "Hon. John F. O'Brien, Secretary of State. "Sir: I hereby respectfrlly resign niv office as Chief Judge of ,the Court of Appeals of the State of N?"'w York, such resignation to take effect Immediately. "ALTON B. PARKER. "Rosemount, Esopus, N.
