THE SOLICITORSHIP RACE.
Candidates in the Field to Succeed
Mr.. duBignon.


The nomination of Solicitor General
duBignon for the senate opens the field for
lively race for the solicitorship. Mr..
duBignon succeeded w. G. Charlton four
years ago, and his term of office will expire
in January. His resignation, however, will
probably go to the governor in a day or
two, and his successor will be elected at the
convening of the legislature in November.
The courts having adjourned, and there
being very little work for the solicitor until
the December terms, it is hardly probable
that there will be any al interim appoint
ment by the governor.
Among the leading candidates before the
legislature in November will be w. w.
Fraser, Esq, Mr.. duBignon's law partner,
who has been actiag solicitor general at
various times during the latter's absence
from the city. Mr.. Fraser is one of the
most prominent young members of the
Savannah bar, and he has wide acquaint-
ance throughout the entire circuit. His
ability and fitness for the place are reccg-
niZed, and he will have the support of a
large majority of the senators and members
of the house from the circuit. Mr.. Fraser's
connection with the solicitor generals
office for the past two years has familiarized
him thoroughly with its duties, and he is
we'll equipped both in ability and experience
for this very important position. The part
nership existing between Mr., duBignon and
Mr.. Fraser will expire by limitation Nov.
l, and in view Of Mr.. duBignon's nomina-
ton for the senate, and Mr.. Fraser's can
didacy for the solicitorship it will not be
renewed, Mr.. duBignon desiring to sever
entirely his connection with the office of
solicitor general and to devote himself to
the general practice of his profession.
Several other gentlemen besides Mr..
Fraser are mentioned as possible candi-
dates, among them A S. Way, Esq, Of
Liberty county, who was in the city yester-
day talking over the situation, and George
w. Owens. Esq. J. i. b. Beckwith, Esq.
Mr. W. Clifton's law partner, is also mon
toned
