SENATOR PRITClIARDs FUTURE.-Thc in
s,stence OF offccseekers has driven some worthy
men from pubic life. 7, Is known here that the
impossibity Of gratifying so many conflicting
claims for Office mas caused Senator Prchard 10
decide TO resign Eve years of his term ana take
refuge on the Federal bench. For some time 1t mas
been understood that Jldge Robert 7. Dick OF the
District Court for the Western District of North
Carolina, would resign his seat. and it has been
long suspected that Senator Pritchard desired 10
escape the opportunities OF ohceseeklns iflenus oy
occurring the vacancy thus created. The CHIEF
trouble in the way appears TO ne the risk that
through some possible political change the Legs
lature 10 be elected this falL which VIII have the
choice Of his successor the Governors right 10
appoint extending only until the Legislature con-
venes in January 1899. may not be Republican, or
