How Camden was Nominated...An
Honest Man Wanted 10 Guard the
Treasury.
1t was well understood ut Parkersburg
that the nomination OF Capt. BURDETTE
for Treasurer and Maj. BENNETT for Au-
ditor was part Of the bargain that made
Mr.. CAMDEN tho nominee for Governor.
These gentlemen to secure their own re.
nomination deliberately sold out Gov.
JACOB aud gave all the support they
could control to CAMDEN on condition the
CAMDENTTEs should help them to re.
nomination II. s. WALKER, the State
Printer, was especially active and loud in
his efforts in behalf Of these gentlemen. II
they arc to have charge of the treasury
another term the people Of the State could
not do better thing than to keep Gov
JACOB where he Is TO overlook them
When we find Mr.. WALKER jealous in
behalf of anybody who is to have contro
OF the treasury, we grow suspicious thai
there had better be an honest man or
guard. 1t might not, to be sure, DO q
pleasant position for Gov. JACOB, but the
people will need his services.
