Apout Justloe Lamar,s suooessOr.

WASHINGTON. d. c., January A.-Specu-
lation is already rife over the successor
of Justice Lamar on the Supreme Bench.
The particular person who will be chosen
is net considered so much as the question
whether President Harrison will make
nomination TO fll the vacancy or leave the
matter open for President Cleveland's
action IL is certain in view OF the atti-
tude of certain Democratic Senator'S
towards the nomination Of Mr. McComss
10 be Judge of the Court of the District OF
Columbia that nomination by Pres
ident Harrison would be antagonized TO
the end of the session and defeated If pos
sible. In view Of that fact it is probable
that the President would not care TO pro-
woke bitter controversy and will take no
action. but it can 5e said that he has come
TO no determination upon the matter and
will not consider IT even for several days
al least. Should he decide to make an ap-
pointrnent the probabilities are that mem
ber of the United States judiciary within
Justice Lamsr's old circuit will oe honored

the States of Alabama, Florida, Georgia,
Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas.

WASHINGTON, D. c., January 24-The
belief here is that President Harrison IS
unlikely to nominate any successor 10
Justice Lamar on the Supreme bench,
leaving the vacancy for Cleveland to fill.
It is thought in some quarters. however,
that he may nominate a Southern Demo
crat. It is pretty certain if Harrison
nominates a RepublicaH he would fail Of
confirmation. Those who think Harrison
may nominate q Democrat for the place
say the nominee will probably be Judge
jackson, of Tennessee, formerly Senator
in Congress who was placed on the United
states Circuit Court bench oy Cleveland.
Judge Jackson is personal friend of the
President, who has high opinion Of his
ability. The Judge also stands very high
with members of the Supreme Court, who
will warmly indorse him if the President
asks their advice in the matter.
