In connection with Governor Brown and
Treasurer Jones there is IN interesting story,
1t is known that the term of Judge John L.
Vinson of the Circuit Court for Montgomery
county will expire by limitation of age, and
he Governor will have the appointment of
ais successor in January next. 1t is also
known that State Senator Hattersly w. Tai
bolt, of Montgomery county, is DESTROYS to
succeed Judge Vinson, and was generally
supposed to be slated for the place. But
Governor Brown has indicated very strongly
hat he does not consider it a wise plan to
appoint men who are already in office to
unless there are special reasons
for so doing, and Mr.. Talbot is still State
Senator, to which office he was only nomi-
mated and elected after bitter and protracted
contests, both in the primaries and ut the
election. The Governor is said to have in
Judge Wilson's successor he may name the
State Treasurer, and if Col. Jones should
zee fit to decline he may give the place to
Land Commissioner Philip d. Laird.
BY giving the judgeshIp to either Mr..
tones or Mr.. Laird His Excellency would
,ain two points. If Mr. Jones should take
he judgeship the Governor would have the
opportunity to appoint new State Treas
lrer, and If MIR. Jones should decline and
Mr.. Laird be named, the Executive would
nave to appoint new Land Commissioner,
md, in either event, would be able to crafty
some friend and add to his political strength
hereby Indeed, the above programme is
said to have already been outlined by the
Governor, who is also said to have gone SO
far as to say to Mr.. Jones you will proba-
bly, be Judge Jones after next January
that is, if you are willing "-Battsnaare Sun
