SENATOR DANIEL.

In speaking Of Il successor 10 the
late Gliicf Justice Waite tho Wash
inston correspondent of the Balti
more Sun has the following to say:
Senator John w. Daniel is men
toned as one of the best selections
that could be made. He is in the
prime OF lifc-under lifty--ard might
be expected to continue long in the
service. lilo comes Of judicial stock,
as did the late ClEef Justice. His
father was for long period ono os
the NEST honored of the judges OF
the highest court in Virginia, and his
cousin was the late Peter V. Daniel,
long an Associate Justice of tie
United States Supreme Court, who
died in 1850. The vacancy thus ere
atcd was not filed until Nj. Lincoln

became President. He appointed
Justice S5w.yne, who, though living
in Ohio, was born in Virginia. 1t
would scent most appropriate that
Senator Daniel should take the place
filed by his relative. Not only has
he judicial lineage back of him, but
his own ability as lawyer is unqucs
toned, and his book on negotiable
instruments" is to be found in every
law library"
