BECK's SUCCESSOR
Who VIII FIJI the Great Kentuckian's
Seat.

LEXINGTON, Ky. May 4.-To-mor-
rows Transcript will contain the follow
ing editorial concerning the contest that
is to come for Mr. Beck's seat in the
Senate
Who will succeed Beck? was the fire.
quent inquiry after the fact of his
death had been made known. Nearly
all were of the opinion that Carlisle is
the next in point of craftsmanship and
ability to the dead Senator. In many
respects he was the first choice of all
who spoke of the matter of succession.
All bore testimony to his OyerShadow-
ing greatness of mind.
A good many Lexington people spoke
of Colonel Breckenridge as the best man
in Kentucky To succeed Mr.. Beck.
Breckenridge stands high as a states
man, and the pcople.in this section, as
well as the people of Kentucky, rccog-
nize his great ability as legislator. He
is next to Mr.. Carlisle in ability. He is
superior in eloquchcc. and the people Of
his district i'm particular will be delight
ed To see him become Senator
He is not good mixer, how
ever, and may not be much
of factor before the present
Legislature. Speaking of "miXerS, eX-
Governor McCreory fills that character
much better than Colonel Brecknridge.
He would be popular with the LegiSla-
turc. aud if a little Doodle were neces-
Sary To help things he could open a
bari or two No one pretendS, how
ever. that McCreery is the equal Of Car
Isle OF Breckenridge in any thing. He
is more of politician than statesman;
he would take care of his Kentucky
constituents ON all occasions, and as the
people know this he has popular favor
accordingly.
Governor :. Il. Buckner was also fire.
quently mentioned as possible. Some
asserted that Governor Buckner was de-
SirlouS of succeeding Blackburn, and as
matter of course he would make an at
tempt for Mr.. Beck's seat. 1t is doubt
full if Governor Buckner wants TO be
United States Senator. If he does he
will have a strong following, but his re-
cent yctoeS will bring him opposition
where he would otherwise have had sup
port. To offset this is the feeling that
he is an honest man. who will do what
hc believes to be right, regardless OF
consequences. Governor Buckner Is a
man of wealth. and will be able To make
strong fight if he enters the race.
Another possibility is Hon. James A..
Mckenzie. whe is said to have Il desire
10 90 to the Senate. lie is man of ac-
knowledged ability, but no one here is
able to form an opinion as to his
strength.
j. Proctor Knott and Judge William
Lindsay are also mentioned rs aSprantS
for a seat i'm the Senate. In all proba-
bilty Governor Buckner will immcdi-
ately appoint successor TO Mr.. Beck.
and notify the Legislature to proceed
To elect a Senator to fill out the uneN-
pired term. rs the Legislature has de
cidcd to adjourn on May IA it will in all
probability extend the session, possibly
indefinitely. There will be a great con-
test for MIR. Bcck'S seat.
