Hon. Chauncey +. Black. Of Penn
sylvania, who was in Washington n,
several days in connection of the Va.
tional Association of Democratic Clnb,
of which he is President, said of Their.
publican fight in his State: "Fhe Dem,
Gratis, while the funeral is none 0f tbe,
are sincerely DESTROYS to see Sena.r
Quay triumph over the combr.
that is trying to compass his poliug
humiliation. | dont't think that Dem
ocratic well-wishing will b. OF any ben.
eft to Mr.. Quay; on the contrary. Il
will add to his load. Senator Cameron
is another load-a good bit heavier one
than the sympathy of the Democrats.
Thus handicapped, Quay has de.
perate fight on his hands, but nv Be.
lief is that he will win. The character
of the men fighting him is enough Ia
put the people on Quay's side. They
represent all that is detestabIean and cor.
rupt IN modern politics. rhey are an
ungrateful lot, too, for most OF them are
under the heaviest obligations to Mr
Quay
There is little probability that thea
cancy upon the bench of the United
States Supreme Court. made by the
death of Justice Jackson OF Tennessee,
will be filled before Congre,S meets.
The position being too important tobe
filled by a recess nomination which
the Senate might decline to confirm
after the new Justice had taken part
III the work OF the court. The absence
of prominent Democrats from WASH
ingtou makes all the talk about a sue.
cessor to the late Justice jackson moth.
ing out speculation. Because Presi!
dent Cleveland nominated Justice
White, of Louisiana, to the last yaeau-
cy after two New Workers had failed Of
confirmation, the spectators now say
that the President Will fill this vacancy
from New York, which is, of course.
more or less probable, but all tire same
it is only u guess Three members Of
the present Supreme Court-Chitf Ju-
tlce Fuller and Justices Shiras and.
Whlte-were appointed by President
Cleveland and the appointment which
the late Justice Jackson received III
the last days of the Harrison admin.
tration should properly have been
made by him. Thus what Alr Hal.
rison deprived him of, Providence ds;
restored to the President. Understand
do not mean To imply that the sett I
ton of Justice jackson was not a I'D
one. On the contrary, it was AN excel /
lent one, and might easily hiveOee
made by President Cleveland, who
had during his first administration
made Mr.. Jackson a United states
Circuit Judge. Only it WAS not regavd'
ed as just the proper thing fol an ou, |
going Republican President to ill such
an important place, belonging to tue
Democrats, when he knew that te
Democrat selected could not take ls
seat upon the bench before Demo
cratic President came IN.
Representative Bankhead, Of Ala

his way from New York He was
asked who would be nominated d

piled: Il do not venture positive
opinion on that subject. Personally
