Show Supreme Court Vacancy Judge JACKSONS nomination for Justice of the Supreme Court In place of LAMAR was referred to the Judiciary Committee of the Senate instead of being confirmed at once as usually occurs where an ex Senator is nominated It is said some of the Republicans are like CLARKSON furious over this appointment Presi dentelect CLEVELAND is reported to have said it would hive been difficult to select a man better fitted for this high office than JACKSON who owes his place as district judge on the Federal bench to the exPresident Judge JACKSON was a Senator from Tennessee when HARRISON in part represented repre-sented Indiana and a warm friendship existed between the two There was also a cordial intimacy between Mrs HARRISON HAR-RISON and Mrs JACKSON lasting until the demise of the firstnamed lady who received from Mrs J on her deathbed death-bed a very tender and touching message mes-sage Mr HARRISON urged to appoint a successor to Justice LAMAR could not have performed a more gracious act than was shown in the selection of JACKSON and perhaps he felt that a man of his own party could not be confirmed in the short time to elapse before the inauguration of Mr CLEVELAND But now comas a newspaper correspondent correspond-ent with the tale that Mr HARRISONS action is to discharge two obligations of friendship at once rather more than intimating inti-mating that Attorney General MILLER is to be given tho place now held by Judge JACKSON As this would seem to involve a transaction in the nature of a bargain we prefer not to believe the story |
