Nashville, Aug. 9. Tho Hon. Howoll
Edmunds Jackson, nssoolato justice of tho
supremo court of tho Uultod States, died
Rt his rosldqlico at West Moad, Ave miles
tvest of this city, at 2 o'clock yosterday
afternoon, in the 61th your of his age, of
consumption.
Judge Juckson had boon In falling
hoalth for tho past four yours, but It has
been only In the past eight or ton days
that tho progress of tho dlsoaso began to
cause his family nnd fricudg uneasiness,
Last yoar ho wont to tho far west In
search of health. Lator ho wont to
Thomasvlllo, Ga., whero It was hoped tho
mild anil yot bracing climate would re
store his one tlmo vigorous constitution.
Tho trip did him llttlo good, and after a
tlmo ho was brought homo. At his old
homo Judge Jackson soomod to improve
Blightly until ho went to Washington to
It In the socond hoarlng of the lncomo
tax oases. Ho stood that trying trip only
fairly woll, nnd nftor his return homo np
poarod to loso strength rapidly. Novortho
los Judge Jackson uovor took to his bed
until Wednesday of last woek, Since that
time his family and friends realized that
tho ond was near and his death was not
unexpected.
When Justloe Jaokson was so seriously
111 last spring that he was not oxpootod to
recover the name of his successor was con
siderably speculated In. Tho Idea was
suggested by some that tho president
would again name Messrs. Packham or
Hornblowor, of New York, while tho se
lection of a man from tho west foil to Don
Dickinson. Postmaster Gonornl Wilson
was strongly spoken of as among ths pos
sibilities, while tho majority of opinion was
that Secrotary Cnrllslo could havo the

rohearlng in the lncomo tax cases Inst
May. Ho had boon absent from the city
and from the bench slnco tho precodlng
fall, when, soon nftor tho convening of tho
October term of court, ho had been com
pelled to come south on aocount of his
rapidly declining health. During his ab
son co thoro had boon contradictory reports
as to his physical condition, but tho pre
vailing opinion among his colleagues on
tho bonch was that he would never again
bo ablo to resume his goat.
Mr. Jaokson had tho roputatlon In
Washington, and especially about tho
Buprorae court, of being vory sensatlvo
concerning nny discussion of his health
In tho public press, nnd he referred to
tho subject vory sparingly In his own
conversation. Tho other mombers of the
court wero, therefore, poorly advlsod as to
his condition, This stato of affairs is said
to havo beon tho roason for tho oqulvocal
charactor of tho announcement of tho de
cision to grant a rehoarlug in tho income
tax cases, which of necessity depended
upon Jackson's presenco.
Ho was In Washington on the occasion
of the rohearlng for several days, nnd gave
his attention assiduously to tho inoomo
tax cases, He sat through the argument,
which ooutinued for three days, took part
part in tho consulatlon of tho court, and
when the day arrived for the announce
ment of tho docislon not only listonod pa
tiently to tho opinions of most of the other
members of tho court, but delivered a vig
orous opinion of his own In support of tho
validity of the law. This ocourred on May
(SO, nnd was his last public appearanoe. He
returned to his home in Tennessee late In
May.
Whon Judge. Jaokson was In Washing
ton on this occasion, was ovldont to all
who came in contact with him that life
was slowly but surely obblng oway, and
that tho effort ho made was at tho oxpenso
of his vitality.
As senator and justice, of the Bupromo
court Mr. Jaokson had resided in Wash
ington about eight years. His associates
hero wore confined to his colleagues on
the bonch and In tho senato chamber. By
them ho was universally ostoeined as a
man of high morul worth nnd rich intel
lectual attainments, as was evinced In
nothing so much ns In his appointment to
the supreme bunch by 1'resldent Harrison
and his confirmation by a Republican sen
ate, notwithstanding he was a Democrat.
Howell Edmunds Jaokson was born In
Paris, Tonn., April 8, 1833. Justlco Jaok
lon was a classical scholar, graduating
from tho West Tennossoe collogo In 1818,
Ho studied law two years ut tho Uni
versity and In Jaokson, under his kins
men, Judges A. W. O. Totton nnd Milton
lirown; graduated from thoLobanon Law
sohool lu 1850, In which year ho located In
Juckson and engaged u tho practlco of
his profession; removed to MomphlB In
1859, whero he ooutinued the practice of
law; served on tho supremo bench by ap
pointment on two occasions, and wns
once it prominent candidate for supremo
Judge bof ore the nominating convention.
Ho relocated In Jackson In 1870; was oloo
ted to the stato house of representatives
lu 18S0, on the stato crodlt platform; was
eloctfd to tho United Statos sonato ns n

TO-MORROW'S CONVENTIONS
District Conventions Will Name Delegates
to the State Convention.
FAYORABLE TO QUAY AND HASTINGS

the Philadelphia and Pittsburg Com
bineThe Outlook Summarized
Day Before the Battle.
To-morrow morning, at 10 o'clock, Undele
gates whoso duty it is will meet in their re
spective districts and choose delegates to tho
state convention. The latter body meets at
llarrisburg on tho 2Sth inst. In only one of
tho four districts of tho county has "thcro
been anything like a serious contest, and
that ono has never been in doubt so far as it
effects Senator Quay's interests.
FII18T DISTItlCT.
In tho First district the contest has lieeu
between lloraco E. Dengler, of town, and
II. J. Hall, of Malianoy City, and Charles O.
Smith, of the same place two delegates to
bo chosen. The contest lias been a spirited
one. Notwithstanding tho personal popu
larity of Mr. Smith, ho has been handi
capped by some of his supporter) to such an
extent that his chances wero nover very
bright, and It was announced tills morning
that in tho interest of harmony he lias con
cluded to withdraw from tho contest.
pi:conu nisTiitcT.
In tho Second district Hon. D. D. Phillips
will havo very little opposition and will bo
elected without any trouble, tho 'opposing
candidate, John II. Howe, of Ashland, having
been brought out in opposition to Mr. Phillips
on personal grounds only. Tho latter was in
tho field before the Quay-Gilkesou contest
iroso and was induced to run for reasons re
lating only to county politics.
TIIIKI) W8TMCT. '
In the Third district it is rather hard to
keep tract of the contest as the candidates
havo been changing rather frequently, and
at this writing it is somewhat dillicult to say
who they all are. Francis C. Job appears to
have the inside track, while tho opposition
liave divided their forces and are supporting
J. D. Kersliner, of Tusearora; Albert Ellis,
of Ityan ; C. W. Clayberger, of East Union,
and Charles S. Shindel, of Tamaqua. It is
probable that by the time the convention
meets they will unite on either Ellis or
Shindel.
FOURTH WSTIUCT.
The Fourth district is tho Held upon which
tho fight lias been made and it has been a hot
one. Tlio Quay candidates aruC. II. Haeseler,
Pottsville ; Hcuben Barto, Piuegrove, and
Dr. Clias. E. Quail, Auburn ; while Samuel
A. Loscli, Schuylkill Haven; W.J. White
house, Pottsville, and Joseph Millington,
Tremout, favor Gilkesou. With two old
bands in political affairs like Losch and
Whttehouse, a good fight was to be expected,
and they havo fought hard. Tho sentiment
of tho district, however, docs not favor the
Combine, and it looks as if tho Gilkesou fol
lowers will he completely snowed under. Tho
followers of Senator Quay are ou tho aleit
for any "last card" tricks that may be played
by the wily statesman from Schuylkill Haven,
and' aro prepared to see that the sentiment
of tho district is properly represented at the
stato convention. Of tho tlireo Gilkesou
candidates in .this district, Wliitehouso
probably will havo tho largest vote in tho
convention.
In tho First, Second aud Third districts all
tho candidates aro outspoken Quay men, and
they also favor Governor Hastings for
president of tho stato convention. Thero is
no opposition in this county to His Excel
lency, and those who aro trying to make it
appear otherwise aro doing so for their
personal gain. Thero is, however, great
opposition to tho Martin-Porter-MaGeo-Gil-keson
combine, and to-morrow's conventions
will show it.
Schuylkill county will send seven delegates
to tho stato convention favorable to Senator
Quay for chairman of tho stato commltteo
and Governor Hastings as president of tho
