Baltimore correspondent reports Governor Jackson will appoint a short term U S senator to replace the late Ephraim Wilson, with ex-Congressman Charles H Gibson favored by party leaders. Gibson would then be elected by the legislature for the remainder of the term, though Brattan of Somerset may be chosen instead. The appointment timing hinges on political maneuvering and which candidate best serves Governor Jackson’s ambitions.
