of the National Republican, Committee to be
held at Washington, Dec. II, to take appro-
pirate action upon the death of the Hon Zach
Chandler, and to consider the time and place
of holding the next national convention.
Advices from Lansing, Mich, indi-
cate that the vacant seat in the United States
Senate vacated by the death of Mr. Chandler is
likely to be filed by the Legislature instead of
the Governors appointment, as Gov. Croswell
expresses himself as decidedly in favor of call
ing an extra session to consider this and other
matters of pressing Importance.
The Governor of Michigan has ap-
pointed Frederick G. Beams n, of Adrian, to
succeed Mr.. Chandler in the United States SEN
ate. Judge Beaman is native of Vermont,
has resided in Michigan since 1888, and was for
