The Baltimore EUening Ne,rs of
Oct. 31st has the following among its
comments as to successor to Judge
Bond:
st is understood that Senator
Faulkner of w. Va. would be glad to
accept the place. 1t will be recol-
lected that when President Cleveland
last spring caue to appoint the new
Court of Appeals of this district. he
had under serious consideration the
name of Senator Faulkner, and it is
believed only decided to pass him by
because Mr.. Faulkner was Senator
at the time the court was created,
and although he did not fall directly
perhaps under the constitutional inhi-
bition, it was considered best not to
appoint Senator or Representative
to a judicial position created by a
Congress of which he was a member.
OF course, nothing of this sort can be
urged against Senator Faulkner now,
and if ne is still ambitious to 90 up
on the bench, he will unquestionably
prove to be formidable candidate.
There are no indications, however,
that the selection will he made before
the regular session of Congress.

Senator Faulkner did not return to
Washington yesterday as he intended
owing to some private matters that
required his attention connected with
his future occupancy of BoydviIle.
Since aggravating exhibition of dila-
tory tactics in the Senate, the Sena-

be no unnecessary delay in another
measure of great personal interest to
himself, he is pushing the previous
question with great earnestness, and
thinks the Xmas recess would be a
