CHARLESTON, W. Va, Jan, l6.-"Will
tbe Faulkner and Camden, or Camden
and Faulkner?" has been tho question
uppermost in ovorybody's mind to-
night All day there were rumoFs OF
combinations and compromises between
the candidates for tho long term for the
United States senator and one or more
ofthe candidates for short term. To-
night there was an indication OF an ap-
preaching crisis, when the call for a
caucus tomorrow night, which had
been prepared by tho Faulkner men,
was circulated.
This was construed in two ways, frat,
as an evidence that Faulkner felt sure
Of his ground, and second, that he felt
that longer delay would bo disastrous.
The Camden people were willing to
90 into caucus at once, but opposed
tomorrow night on the ground that
should u fight develope and the caucus
continue over until Wednesday night,
it would Interfere with the governors
reception to tho members OF the lcgisla'
turG.
TAULENERITEs CONFIDENT.
This objection was considered lame
by tho Faulkner men, and it was
charged that it was an evidence that
the Camden people felt their weakness
and worO ready to grasp at any sort OF
an excuse 20 postpone decision OF the
contest. They declared that the objec.
ton carried no force with it, as Mr..
Faulkner was certain to obtain the
nomination on the first ballot, and the
governors reception Wednesday night
was not consideration.
Early in tho day Camden stock went
up several points, when the report was
current that Hon. William L. Will
son was willing 10 enter tho race
for tho short term, that Hon. John j.
Davis had several friends pledged to
Faulkner in tho event that Mr.. Davis
should not DO in the field, but who
Tero at his command and could be de.
vered to Mr.. Wilson, and that the
latter II Ills name were presented would
aayO no difficulty, and
PRACTICALLY NO OPPOSITION
in securing the short term. This
clearly meant descendeucy of tho
Faulkner stock and a corresponding
ascendoucy OF Camden stock. The
movement gained strength hourly, and
itseeme1 almost II sure thing for a
while that caucus tomorrow night
would result in Mr.. Camden's nomina-
ton to succeed Faulkner and Mr.. Viii.
sons selection for the Kenna success.
sion. There was clearly no deal be.
tween Camden and Wilson, but the
movement among the members OF the
legislature was in that direction. As
ielegraphed last night, there Is a Faulk.
ner contingentwhich Is kindly disposed
toward Senator Camden, and would be
glad il such an opportunity were to
present itselfa as outlined above.
Tho Faulkner men were disturbed
temporarily, but recovered. 1t was
given out lato this evening in the lobby
Of the RuiTner that Mr.. Wilson had
forbidden the use OF his name, and the
elect was almost instantaneous.
Camden.people did not countenance
!, but Il affected stocks just the same.
Early in the afternoon when II ap-
pearcd that the Camden. Wilson sug.
geSliOn was swooping everything be-
lore 1t, Joe Chiffon was reported 10
6e out OF the rRco for the short term.
When interviewed an hour later, he
sad he had considered the mat
ler Of withdrawing, as he did not

place and risk being slaughtered, but

and tonight
HE IS STILL IN IT.
