RICHMOND. Va. May 17.-Gow. McKinnsys
intention in reference to appointing sue
cessor to Senator Barbour is n matter of much
peculation here. 1t is asserted that he re-
manned over in Washington with q view OF
consulting prominent Democrats. and that the
only three names he heard suggested there
are John Randolph Tucker. Fitzhuch Lee and
John Goode.
In Virginia there are no less than thirty gen.
tlemen named. and in more than one instance
they are not known outside their own coun-
ties. Mr. Thomas $. Martin is among the
younger men the most urgently named. his
ha.ker being Senator Danicl. Martin is from
concelcd that, Senator Daniel owes his
election to Martin. who Q gani2ed his
beat Barbour although the latter had lust
conducted q winning campaign against MAJ
hone. FitzhuGh Lee also has Il strong orEani-
cation. Tho main objection urged against Mr.
Tucker Is that he is too near Daniels district.
Holmes Conrad of Winchester is regard
ed az n strong dark horse. II tho Governor
should fail to make the appointment before
the meeting OF the State Convention on Thurs
day. it is not unlikely that an attempt will be
made to get that body to endorse some Of the
