NOMINATED ny THE RICHMOND
BAR ON SIXTH BALLOT.
LEGISLATURES CHOICE, TOO.
The Honor Will Probably BE Bes-
cus-Action of Local Bar In, the
Nature of a Recommendation.
The threat of

The threat Of the General Assembly
that it would not be bound by the action
of the Richmond bar in recommending a
man for judge of the Tenth Judicial Cir
cult did not deter the lawyers from max
ing a recommendation and the General
Assembly will elect the man endorsed ny
the bar. Mr.. r. Carter Scott, the admit
ted choice of the legislative caucus, was
likewise the choice of the bar, being nom
mated on the sixth ballot at the bar
meeting yesterday.
The Democratic caucus of the General
Assembly will meet next Tuesday night
in the hall of the House of Delegates to
elect the judge. Mr.. Scott will undoubt-
eddy be nominated and the honor will
probably be bestowed by reclamation.
Nomination by the Democratic caucus is
equivalent to election.
The manly stand taken by Mr.. Scott in
submitting his claims to the approval
of his fellow-members of the bar after
his election was virtually assured won
him the nomination, even If he would
not have been nominated had the ques-
ton of the bars right to recommend not
been raised. His Difference to the pune
tilious code of the profession and to the
expressed views Of several prominent
members disarmed opposition to him and
added to the completeness and satisfac-
ton of brilliant triumph. His friends
predict for him long and useful career
on the bench.

The bar met at noon in the assembly
hall of the Chamber of Commerce, Mr.
