Found it:

“The Governor shall have power to fill vacancies in all offices of the Commonwealth for the filling of which the Constitution and laws make no other provision. If such office be one filled by the election of the people, the appointee shall hold office until the next general election”

Gov. appoints LTGov. for the remainder of the term. Fairfax can choose his own successor.
