PARKERsBURG. W. Va. July a.
Judge John Jay Jackson, of the United
States court, in this city. has decided to
allow his name to go before the national
Democratic convention at Chicago next
week Us a candidate for the vice presl-
dency. Judge Jackson was seen by
your correspondent tonight and In an
swer to a question concerning his can
dldacy. said: when I was at Char
lesion two weeks ago and Importuned
to allow my name to be presented for
the Vice presidency on the Democratic
national ticket, 1 first refused, but
finally agreed to acqulesce in their re-
quest II they would ascertain what sup
port could secure in Virginia, Mary
land and other southern states. The re-
piles received from those states were OF
such an encouraging nature that 1

advocate my candidacy" II ls very gen.

idea conceIvlng that with West Vlr-

aroused. and the boomers will labor
to Impress ON the minds OF the conven-
ton that this Is the only way In which
the state can be saved to the solid
south.
They will run against a snag when
they are asked to vouch FOR Judge Jack

THE PLATFORM.


VIII Probably Straddle the Tariff Quss-
tIon aud Wink ut Protection.
CHICAGO, July notwithstanding
the convention Is still four days of.
there are almost continuous confer
encrs among those who expect TO be
called up tC make the platform when II
Is made. They consist largely OF the
free silver leaders who are located at
the Sherman house. Their plan looks
TO preparing a document which, while
II viii cover various other questions OF
Democratic faith. will give the plans
0t prominence TO the financial declar-
ntIOn. IL ls indeed now expected that
the platform viii be silver pronuncia-
mento. setting forth the free coinage
doctrine In the form OF a ringing ad-
dress, wEich will appeal 10 the support
OF all silver advocates OF whatever
party The glst OF the plank Will be,
howcver,an uuequivocal declaration Tor
the free aud unlimited coinage OF sil-
Yer nt the ratio of l6 70 J, without
awaiting the action of any other nation.
The tdrlfT plank is really giving the
silver majority more concern than the
financial declaration. They consider
this a very delicate matter. The silver
question Is recognized by all as the
paramount Issue. but the Democracy
has been 50 persistent In Its declarations
on the tariff and the Republicans made
Il 81 prominent In their platform, that
they realize the lmpossibility of ignor-
lng IT, This they would gladly do n
they could. for this one time, because Of
the effect that u declaration leaning too
pronouucedly towards free trade would
have upon the Republican silver men
and POpulRts wlSos- votes they hope to
secure with free silver candidate.
So far as there has been an exchange
OF opinion, the tendency Is decidedly
towards a very brief and not very
pronounced declaration on this point.
There may be 4 declaration for more
euuitably. adjustment than that con-
iained In the present law, with ttse hope
OF reconcIling the wool and iumbermen
OF the west. The plank may even con-
tain an Implied TecOncilement 10 pro-
tectlon ln words Indicating that any
tlrin, even though for revenue only, Is
a protection to labor.
