County clerk Snyder of Washing· ton County hao notified the Governor by telegram of the death of Distric·t Attorney R. O. Bascom of Fort Ed· ward, and also wired him in regard to the term of county court which will convene at the Handy Hill court houlle. Tuesday next In reference tn making providon for counsel for the people in the criminal caaes which will rome lip. Governor Hughee will appoint the successor to Mr. Baacom. HIM ap- pointee will hold the oflice until Jan. lit. next when he will be succeeded by the Buecesmful candidate at the November election. A• the Republican County convention has already been held the ®election of the party candi- date will fail upon the committee on vacanclem appointed by the conven- tion. Thi. committee conilitm of E. R. Norton, of Granville, James Glbion, Jr., of Salem, Horton Carleton of Fort Ann, David FilkIn, of Handy Hill, Wm. Balls of White Creek, Wm. Frazer, of i Whitehall, and Herbert Van Kirk of Greenwich. All of the committeemen except Carleton and Filkin, hall from Park- 1 er townm and were lined up with the Ai,emblymen at the recent County Convention. It 10, therefore, reason· 1 ably certain that Mr. Parker will have the final may aa to who shall be noml- I nated. Doubtless Mr. Parker's advice wit! have weight with Governor Hughes, in which event the Gover- nor'I appointee will be the Republican nominee at the fall election. The Democrats will undoubtedly fol- low their usual custom and nominate some one for the fun of it. The Post recommends that Mr. Hai- com's Ion, Wyman 8.
