The virginia senstovship.


It is stated on good authority that the
appointment OF the senator from Nlr-
ginia to fill the vacancy caused by the
death Of Senator Barbour has narrowed
down to the names of John Goode, John
Randolph Tucker, and Eppa Hunton.
These names are now being considered
by Governor Mckinney, who, it is said,
will soon make the appointment Judge
Goode WAS SolicitorGeneral during
Cleveland's Administration, ana Judge
Tucker and General Hunton have both
served in Congress.
The friends of Hon. Eppa Hunton are
urging his appointment on the grounds
that his long service in the House, and
especially as chairman OF the House
Committee on the District of Columbia,
peculiarly and eminently qualities him
by training and experience for the posi-
ton held 10y the late Senator Barbour,
while his services on the Judiciary Com
mittee in connection with the inyestlga-
ton of the celebrated Mulligan case, and
his selection by the Democratic house
as ono of its representatives on the Ill
den HAYES presidential electoral COM
mission, and his action on the same,
gave him a national reputation. His
military service to his State during the
war is familiar to every Nlrglnlan. Ills
friends urge that no more efficient or
popular appointment could be made.
