AS to how
MIR. DANIELS SUCCESSOR
on the ticket shall be chosen there has
already been some talk. While it seems
that the State Committee Is not absolutely
clothed with power to act in the premises,
there Is an almost universal desire for the
committee to act 'by common consent" Ii
the asprants for the place are willing to sub
NIT their claims to the committee it Is hardly
likely that the people will raise objections.
One Of the gentlemen prominently mentioned
in connection with the office has already
signitied his readiness to leave the mat
ter to the committee. 1t is presumed that
the State Committee will be called together
here without q moments unnecessary de-
lay to determine whether they will act
or will reconvene the Convention. There
will have 10 be promptness il it is hoped
that the Governor will appoint the nominee
for Mr.. Daniels uneXpired term. The
State has need of the services OF an Attor-
ney-G General at once, as the Chesapeake and
Ohio railroad matter and the Moffett-punch
litigation are demanding immediate atten-
ton.
The names mentioned in connection with
the office are Major John w. Daniel, OF
Lynchburg; Captain Phil. Mckinney, OF
Prince Edward; Colonel D. j. Goodwin, OF
Portsmouth; General James G.. Field, OF
Culpeper; and Judge John A. Meredith
and Captain George D. Wise, OF Richmond.
AFTER THE ABOVE WAS WRITTEN
Mr.. Kelley, Of the Executive Committee OF
the State Committee, was seen and asked
what the State Committee will do in the
premises. He replied:
Il have no idea. Colonel Guy, the chair.
man Of the Executive Committee, has been
out OF town fortnight, and Judge Mere
dith almost as long. | have written to both
to-day.
"The State Committee will meet as soon
as Judge Lowell, its chairman, can be com
| municated with. I suppose some substl
tute for recalling the Convention en- mdSSt
will be adopted.''
ef the Attorhey-General was fixed by act o.
Assembly at the last session as follows:
He shall appear as counsel tor the state
In III cases in which the Commonwealth j
interested depending in the Supreme Cour
Of Appeals, the Supreme Court OF tht
United States, the District and Circuit
| Courts Of the United States for the State o.
Virginia, and the Circuit Court Of the city
| Of Richmond, and, he shall discharge sucf
other duties as may be imposed by the Gen
eral Assembly; and he shall receive for hi:
services an annual salary OF $4,000, but ht

tion to the salary aforesaid for the perform
