cumbent, WHO ran as an independent
democratic candidate. He (Camden) is
wealthy aud largely Interested in Gil
wells, lumber, naiionalf banks and rail
road stocks Walker is an editor, and
comparatively young man. lie IS
regarded az one of the readiest speak
ers and most brilliant orators in the
State, and has struck heavy blows in
behalf of his party. His friends are
pushing his claims vigorously, and if
active and persevering canvassing can
accomplish anything, Walker will be
the next United States Senator from
West Virginia.
Among the prominent candidates in
the event of the middle man being Sc
lected are Judge a. +. Raymond, OF the
Supreme Court of Marion county, Hon.
i. A. Bennett, present auditor of the
State, Judge Charles S. Lewis, of Har-
rison county, and Hon. Fl. NJ. Mathews,
present attorney general. Hon. Frank
Hereford, the member ofCongress from
this district, is also spoken of.
LATER.
CHARLESTON, w. Va, Jan. 27.-The
Legislature today met in joint assembly
and balloted for Senator, but without
choice Lightweight votes were
cast. Necessary to choice, 10. Cam
den 10, Walker 10, Brannon ii, Price
~, Caperton 16, and the rest scattering.
There is as little hope now as on the
first ballot. Neither Camden OF Walk
er will yield.
The deadlock does not promise to
be soon unlocked. There is rumor
that in case the Legislature does not
make a nomination this session the
Governor will resign in favor of ID. ID.
Johnson, president of the Senate, who
will he ex-officio Governor, and that he
will then appoint Governor Jacob tenn
porary Senator, which will be for two
years. The opponents of Walker and
Camden may combine upon Raymond
of the Court of Appeals, and elect him.
No one can guess at the final result.
There is another proposition to move
the capitol to the first district, and let
this district have the Senator. A bill to
move the capitolto Wheeling is in the
Senate.
There was no election in caucus to-
night after % ballots. The vote has
not changed materially since the first
ballot, nor will it change until Camden
or Walker give way. The legislators
are getting weary, and may make
bolt and elect new man.
