name of William H. Jackson, a son of the late Howell E. Jackson, associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United tSates may be presented to the Ohio Democratic State Convention as candidate for the gubernatorial nominas tion. Judge Jackson is judge of the Su- perior Court of Cincinnati, which Is prac- tically the highest court in Southern Ohio. He was born in Tennessee. Judge Jack son is understood to have the support of the Hamilton County Democrats for this nomination..
 It Is the present view of politicians that there will be no opposition to the renomi- nation of Governor Nash by the Repub- licans of Ohio The Republicans who hawe insisted that some other candidate would have a better chance of carrying the state has withdrawn their intention to present the name of Judge William H. Taft, president of the Philippine commits sion, if Governor Nash's physical condi- ton should not improve it may seem best for him not to run, but that will de- pend upon his own decision. However his illness will doubtless make the Ohio Republicans more careful in their selec- tion of candidate for Lieutenant Gov ernor.
 Mrs. McKinley's critical illness makes it impossible for the President to make plans. He will certainly remain here with Mrs. Mckinley until July l, even if her condition should improve so surprisingly as to warrant her removal to Canton earlier. The Presidents house in Canton is undergoing repairs and will not be ready before that date. If Mrs McKin- ley should survive the second attack it Is doubtful if she can start for Canton by that date. Had the house in Canton been in readiness 1t is probable she would have not come to Washington.
 Some surprise has been expressed that so many officers of high rank should ac- company Adjutant General Corbin on his trip to the Philippines. The party will include Commissary General J. F. Weston, Surgeon General Sternberg and General A. W. Greedy, chief signal officer. 1t appears that Secretary Root thinks 1t well that these officers, who have such important relations to the Philippines should get personally acquainted with conditions there. General Corbin and his party will be joined by Inspector General Breckenridge in Manila, and it is expect ccococoococcocccooccoococc of indulgence as possible with regard to the restriction of the suffrage. The ne- groes of Alabama no longer attempt to stand on their constitutional rights. They are quite well aware that such an at tempt would be vain. MT. Washington has always, in his relations with the white people in the South, recognized ac- tual facts. He asks for some indulgence on the ground that a practical 1egaiiza- ton of fraud, or of an unconstitutional discrimination between blacks and whites, would result in the demoralization of both races MT. Washington is listened to but 1t Is unlikely that his appeal will have any effect on the action of the con vention.
 With this body the question Is merely as to the manner of the restriction of the colored vote. By proposed amendments to the constitution which contain no ref erence to color, but which are relied on to apply more readily to black men than to white, and which by interpretation can practically be saved from applying to white men at all. 1t is expected to ex- clude from the suffrage the mass of color ed men. No secret whatever is made of this intention. and all white men in the State are agreed in demanding such a restriction. Senator Morgan has a simple, and on the whole an honest, plan. He proposes that no one but white man shall hold office in Alabama. He also proposes a system of registration which shall restrict the suffrage very much in accordance with the choice and wishes of local registrars; but the main point of his plan is the exclusion of colored men from office. Black men might continue to vote, but they would, in voting, have only a choice between white candidates. Such restriction would not be contrary to the terms of the Unted States consti- tuition, but it would undoubtedly be quite contrary to it's spirit.
