WASHINGTON, D. O., Aug. 9.-There is
much speculation as to President Cleve-
lands choice for the United States Su
pweme Court bench to succeed the late
Justice Jackson, but beyond the mention
of available news there is little Of def
mite nature this early. 1t is the general
understanding that no appointment will
be made until after the meeting Of Con-
gress, as the place Is one Of too much
Importance and dignity for recess ap-
pointee to go on the bench and take the
chances of subsequent rejection by the
Senate. There has been no case in the
recent history of the country where an
appointment has been made to the Su-
preme bench during Congressional re-
cess.
It is suggested that the selection is
most likely to be made from the East,
and probably from New York, as Mr..
Cleveland made the last appointment
that of Justice White-from the South,
after the Senate had rejected the names
of Hornblower and Peckham, both OF
New York.
When the serious illness of Justice
Jackson was first announced last spring,
gossip mentioned the name of Mr.. Bis
SELL then in the Cabinet, as the probable
successor The same suggestion is heard
at the present time.
1t is usual when an important place Is
to be filled, the name of Secretary Car
lisle is mentioned, bat the general opln-
ion is, that should Mr.. Cleveland 60 to
his Cabinet for an appointee, he is more
likely to consider Mr.. Wilson or Mr..
Smith.
The name of Representative Josiah
Patterson, of Tennessee, will probably
be called to the attention of the Presi-
dent, as he comes from the State of the
late Justice. and is known as most
loyal friend Of Mr.. Cleveland. The
names of Don. NJ. Dickinson and Solici-
ter General Holmes Conrad, are also
mentioned.
Kentucky Has a Candidate.
CINCINNATI, Aug. "a special from
Frankfort, KY, says that Senator Lind
say viii be pressed for the Supreme
bench to succeed Justice Jackson, and
that Secretary Carlisle will then be re-
elected to the Senate In this city there
is a movement for the appointment of
Attorney General Harmon to the Su
preme bench.
A Telegram From the President.
BUzzARD's BAY, Mass, Aug. 8 -Presi-
dent Cleveland this morning sent the
following telegram Of coincidence to Mrs.
Jackson, widow Of the late Justice Jack
son:
"BUzzARD's BAY, Mass, Aug. 8.
ITO Mrs Howell Jackson, Nashville, Tenn.
'I deeply sympathize with you in your
bereavement while | mourn the death of
