with the vacancy caused by the death
of the young and popular senator
Governor Broward is to fill the va

he has been called upon to name a
senator from Florida within the past
three months, but it is not probable
that he will take any steps towards
| considering an appointment until the
latter portion of the week.
Among those who have been men
toned as men who would acceptably
fill the Office are two West Florida
men, State Senator Thos f. West,
of Santa Rosa county, anad Hon. W
H. Milton, of Jackson county. Sena-
tor West, it has been stated, is not
only close personal friend of the
governor, but the latter has a very
high opinion of him, while Mr. Milton
is known throughout the state, and
is also well known to the governor
Ex-senator Samuel Pasco is an
other whose name has been mention
ed as the probable successor to Mr..
Bryan, while it is known that there
are two announced applicants in J. E.
Crane of Tampa, and F. A. Hendry OF

although he has passed the age of
seventy, is still hale and hardy.
