the Candid stes.
The Columbia Register says the nexs
Legislature Will fill a numDsr OF lmpor-
tans ficss, and the, election will furnish
something for the members of tee Gen
eral Assembly to De thinking over before
ths7 90 to Columbia.
The first a1G most im mportant Of all the
Offices is that OF United States Senator.
OF course Governor Tillman will be
etectei with practically no opposition
aud will take his seat il the United
Senate OF the b of Marca, 1895.
Tue terms Of Office of Judge Fraser,
OF the Third Judicial Circuit, and Judge
Norton, of the Eighth Circuit, will e1-
pire early next year and the Legislature
will have 10 eject successors. Great ln.
teresL will be manifested in who will ill
these places.
Itis presumed that Jugds Fraser will
be a candidate for reelection. The only
other man mentioned as a candidate
for the ssue position IS Attorney Gen.
.ral Buchanan, and If he wants the
place he will get It. He is considered
the brightest lawyer OF his age in the
State and has successfully coped With
men of many more years of experience
snd age. He has been the legal back
bone of the State administration IN Its
many fights.
Judge Norton will be candidate to
succeed himself and his friends will make
q hard fight to keep him on the bench.
Several able men have been mentioned
as opponents Of Judge Norton. but it is
not positively known whether they VII
be in the race. Col. joseph Fl. Earle,
of Greenv.lle, ex.Attorney General, is
one of the men mentioned, and Repre-
sentative Breazsale, Of Anderson, IS
another. Mr.. Breazeale was lctrustsd
with the difficult task of completing the
coSifcation of the laws OF the State and
Gid his work thoroughly and SATISFACTORY
ly.
With General Buchanan On the bench
the o,hes of Attorney General would be
left vacant and the Legislature would
have to fill the vacancy. Anticipating
that there will be vacancy several per
sons have been spoken Of as successors
to Mr.. Buchanan. Assistant Attorney
General Barber will be put IN the field
by his friends. HIS familiarity with the
work of the Office and bis ability as q
lawyer will give him strong lead over
other candidates. Senator 0. G. Jor.
dan, of Aiken, is prominently spoken OF
for Attorney General and would have q
strong backing. It would be a close
race between Messrs. Barber anc Jor'
dan.
TIE Legislature elects the Superlnten-
dent 0. taa Peul.entiacy, There IS no
doubt but what Col. w. A. Neal VII!
succeed himself. He has made himself
indispensable to the State IN that posi-
ton and no Legislature could aforc to
defeat him. It is doubtful if there will
be a candidate against him, His loyal
ty TO the R Storm movements provsro
and is the admiration of al Retormers.
The Register mentioned few Gays
ago that R. NJ. McCown, the well
known young Reformer OF Florence,
would be a candidate for Clerk o: the
Senate, and would probably not have
opposition. Since that statement was
made it is said that ex-senator Hemp
nil, of Ab5eville, will be a candidate.
He will ce hard man to beat. W. O.
Wolfe, ex-R.pcesentative OF O;angeourg,
IS also said to be candidate.
For Clerk Of the House i! is supposed
that Clerk Gay will be q candidate Tor
re-siectiou. Rev. J. A. Sigh is also
mentioned. Several others have been
spoken of bus It is not known WneSaef
they will be il the race.
For reading Clerk of the Senate the
iilustrlous Collsrds Caughman, OF Lex'
iugtcn, whose sonorous voice has rung
Tor four years in the ears Of honorable
Senator's, will go the way OF all those
who can't get votes enough. There are
no openly ayowed candidates for that
place YET but Collards IS doomed.
Reading Clerk Withers, Of the House,
will likely bs candidate to succeed
himself and will stand fiae chance Of
haino elected.
