| first was Wyman Is. s. Moor of Water
| Vile, 1sfS to succeed Senator Faifneld
who died in December, lS4I- The leg
| islature convened May 10, 1S4S. He
was appointed by Gov. Dana Hannl-
| bal damlin was elected by the iegis-
| lature following his appointment.
Nathan A. Farewell of Rockland was
appointed to succeed William Pitt
Fessenden. who resigned to become
Secretary of state Mr.. Farewell held
| it until Fessenden was reelected the
| following year. James G. Blaine OF
| Augusta was appointed in 1876 to sue

| become Secretary of the Treasury.
Blaine was elected by the legislature
| afterwards He was the only ole ap-
| pointed by the governor to be elected
| by the Legislature afterwards. Gov
| Coney appointed Mr.. Farewell. Gov.

| constitution of the United States gives
| the governor the power to make aP-
| poiatments of senator when vacancies
/ happen by resignation or otherwise
/ during a recess of the legislature. The
| appointment must be temporary until
/ the next meeting of the legislature.
| A special session of the legislature
| called by the governor could elect d
| United States Senator to fill out the
/ unexpired term, made vacant by the
death of a senator Sometimes the
| question is raised by what is meant
| by q vacancy occurring at recess OF
/ the state Legislature. Is Ii the time
| between one legislature adjourned and
the next legislature to be elected. as
| the State now has, or is 1T while the
| legislature. however, convened, is tax
| ing a recess for whatever time has
| been made definite? From cursory
| investigation Of the three instances
| mentioned it would seem to be oonsld-
cred q recess of the legislature wher
| it is not in session whether by fina
adjournment awaiting call, or in al
iournment for a definite time.
