Chairman Herbert Parsons Of the Repub-
lean county committees said yesterday
that there had been no negotiations between
the Judiciary NOminators and the local
Republican organization since the Nomi-
majors refused a week ago TO substitute
Otto Rosalsky and senator Elsberg for two
of the Democratic candidates on their
ticket. The Republican judiciary con-
vention will take place tonight in the Muir
ray Hill Lyceum, but according to Mr..
Parsons no attempt has been made on the
part OF the local Republican leaders to pre-
pare a judiciary slate. That was a matter,
Mr.. Parsons said. which would be left to the
executive committee Of the Republican
county commi.te TO pass upon at a meet
ing TO he held at 4 o'clock this afternoon.
Although Mr.. Parsons declined TO COM
init himself yesterday to any forecast, the
general impression among the Republican
district leaders is that the NominatOrs'
ticket will be Endorsed with the exception
that Otto Rosalsky will he named by the
Republicans for Judge Of the Court OF Cen
eral Sessions in place Of W. +. Wyatt, the
NOminators' candidate.

w.. Il. s.. Griswold, chairman Of the watch
ers' committee Of the Nominators, has sent
out more than 5000 letters to Trustworthy
men asking them To act "a watchers on
election day in behalf OF the independent

owing to the effective system OF watchers
used in Mr.. Jerome's campaign last year
there was no question over the election Of
District Attorney, while grave doubt was
thrown over he election for Mayor. Mr..
Griswold and his committee want two

"~DisgraceTuI."

'UbAkruccIui
The Rev. DR.. Theodore l.. Cuyler, pastor
emeritus Of tue Lafayette Avenue Presby-
terrain Church in Brooklyn, yesterday spoke
thus Of Mr.. Hearst's campaign:
THE candidacy Of Hearst is the most dis
graceful and disgusting thing that | have
ever known. He was elected to Congress
and for four years he was only occasionally
seen on the floor or only occasionally re-
Piled to his name. He is the moneyed
power attempting to usurp by his money
the rightful functions Of the ballot. He
has done nothing to recommend himself to
the confidence Of the public.
The power Of money has become very
great. Gladstone once told me in confidence
that a great danger which the American
public must fear and guard against Ia the
pIutocrat who would seek to subserve by
the use Of money and influence the highest
executive and Legislative positions.

MURDERER ms OWN LAWYER.

Years In Prison.

PATERSON, n. j., Oct. 1O.-Michael For
mans "a years old and a cripple, who killed
his landlord, Virgil C.. Monnell, last Febru-
airy, was found guilty Of murder in the
second degree here to-day after the jury
had been out a half hour. Judge Pitney
sentenced Formans to twenty-five years
at hard labor in the State Prison. The old
man was closely watched by c~onstables for
fear that he would make an outbreak, as he
told a fellow prisoner several days ago he
would do.
Formans made a pathetic picture pleading
his own case before the jury. He is badly
crippled, put urged the jury not to con-
slider his infirmities. He is quite deaf. too.
and when the Judge spoke to him he had to
put both hands behind his ears to try to
catch the words. Formans was the first
murderer in the history Of Passaic oOunty
to plead his own case before a jury.
