WARRINGTON. Feb. 6-The criticism upon the
appointment By President Harrison Of Judge
jackson to succeed the late Associate Justice
Lamar on the Supreme Bench made by Mr.. J.
8. Clarkson and published this morning was
tho subject OF discussion among politiciansto to-
day. The fact that Mr.. Clarkson had requested
Senator Cullom to protest against the con-
Hrmation OF Judge Jackson's nomination
added interest to the affair. Senator Cullom
was seen this afternoon by n reporter and
asked what action. II any, he had determined
to take. He said that he had been SO busy
with other matters that he had been unable to
consider the subject. and had nothing to say
as to his intentions with regard to tho course
OF the nomination. He said that Mr.. Clark
sons message to him.. which he received
Yesterday. he considered to be personal in its
nature. and he did not expect to make public
either it or his reply thereto. which had not
yet been sent.
1t is not considered probable by many Sena-
tors that judge Jackson's nomination will be
rejected. Notwithstanding that there is some
opposition to him among the Democratic
members Of that body. They say that Judge
jackson is not satisfactory to them as a party
man. and Senator Harris is quoted as having
referred to him as no moro OF q Democrat than
"men on the other side Of the chamber"
One OF the Presidents friends said this after
noon that Mr.. Clarkson's statement that no
other President had ever before appointed a
member OF the Supreme bench from the ranks
of another political party was not we'll fou nded
in fact. He said that in 8 President Lin

retains. He also said that the President. be-

ciples. Will confer with Senator Cullom ana do all I

There is to be serious opposition to Jack
sons confirmation. 1t comes from both Re-
publicans and Democrats. Several Republican
Senators are unwilling to vote for a Democrat.
while some OF the Democratic Senators saw it
will be better to defeat the nomination and let
Mr.. Cleveland choose the SUCCESSOR. The stu
| alton is complicated by the opposition Of Sem
| ator Harris Of Tennessee. who has a personal
quarrel with Judge Jackson, and is disposed
| to fight his confirmation. This brings in tho
matter Of Senatorial courtesy. which may have
an important bearing on the case.
