The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1904-09-20

George NJ. Palmer Of Sohoharie Indeed II
was wildly recalled to-day that Schobarie
| in 1895 was the only county In the State
carried by the Nebraska statesman. You
don't hear much here about man. mental
attainments for the great Office Of Governor
Of the State OF New York. Instead you are
| forced to listen to mysterious inquiries
whether this Democrat or that Democrat
| supported Bryan in his two memorable
national contests The most dreadful
thing heard about Jerome to-day was that
he didn't support Bryan, that Jerome
thought more of his country than he did Of
his party, and this fact has been hurled at
Jerome with quite as much velocity as
the criticism that Mr.. Jerome believed in
Sunday opening.
EFFORT TO REVIVE THE CIRCUIT BOOM.
Very late tonight there was an effort
made to revive the circuit boom. 1t has
been in the hands of embalmers all the
afternoon and evening. Charles +.
Murphy, the Tammany chieftain, accom-
panied by Cord Meyer, chairman OF the
Democratic State committee, called on
William F. Sheehan at Mr.. Sheehan's head
quarters In the Grand Union, and both
Mr.. Sheehan and Mr.. Meyer spoke to Mr..
Murphy Of the strength Of Grout as a candi-
date for Governor Mr.. Murphy would
have none OF Grout, and said 30 very posi-
lively. He stuck to his original state
ment that he did not believe that the candi-
date should come from below The Bronx
line. The talk then turned on Justice
Herrick.
HERRIoK LOOMING UP.
After this talk very many said that they
believed that Justice Herrick would be
nominated for Governor and that George
NJ. Palmer OF Schoharie would have to
wait little while longer The situation
about Justice Herrick Is interesting. FIX
Senator Murphy and other Democrats be-
lieve that Justice Kerrick should be nomi-
mated for Chief Justice Of the Court OF
Appeals and Attorney-General Cunneen
should be nominated for Associate Judge,
and Mr.. Hill comedies with Mr.. Murphy
and other Democrats In this view Of the
Judiciary ticket. William F. Sheehan and
other Democrats, however. say that IT
would be folly to inject the judiciary into
this campaign as an issue. and 1t Is their
opinion, In which they are Joined by Mr.
Meyer. that Cullen and Werner. the can
didates Of the Republican State conyen-
ton, should be nominated in this conventions
With Justice Herrick not to be nominated
for Chief Judge Of the Court OF Appeals.
the tendency Ia very strong to nominate
him for Governor. With tunneen nomi-
mated for Associate Judge o! the court,

partner Of Smith NJ. Weed, Is the llieliest
candidate FOR Attorney -General.
