A CAUCUS of the Republican members of
the Legislature of Michigan has renominated
Mr.. Ferry by unanimous vote. This ap-
propriate action will strengthen the Presi-
dent of the Senate in the discharge of any
and all duties that may be imposed upon him
by existing and impending complications.

PRESIDENT FERRY's LINE OF AcTIoN.-A
Washington special to the Boston Journal says
Senator Ferry, Vice President pro tempore of
the Senate, is understood to have arrived at
conclusion as to the course which he will follow
in the counting,of the electoral vote. 1t can
not, of course, be: stated upon Mr. Ferry's
authority that rthe following are his conclu-
sions, but it may be confidently stated that he
has decided to adopt one of these two courses:
First, he will either count all the votes, open
ing only those from the four contested states
which he considers to be the rightful ones, and
announce the result to the joint convention,
with the statement that it is his judment as to
the proper count. But if the two houses con-
currently arrive at a different conclusion he
will revise his own Judgment in accordance
with such concurrent decision. Or, second, he
will count only the votes from the states as to
which there is no dispute, and will present the
returns from the four other states to the joint
convention, with the statement that as to them
he awaits instruction from the joint conven-
ton, and by that instruction, provided it is
the concurrent action of both houses, he will
abide.
This position is based entirely upon the prin-
ciple that where there is a contest or objection
| the vote of no state shall be counted except
upon the concurrent and untrammeled action
of both houses. 1t further proceeds upon the
assumption that the compromise committee are
not likely to agree upon any course which Will
be adopted by both houses. These, it can be
stated upon most excellent authority, are the
opinions now entertained by Mr.. Ferry. There
is of course possibility that events which may
occur between now and the 14th OF February,
may change his views, but this is not likely

THE Oregon business is developing from
trick into crime. There is evidence that
large sums of money were sent from the East
to influence the men who carried the scheme
through. One sum of $4,000 came into
possession of one of the conspirators. These
facts came out through Cronin's stupidity,
and the Democrats are cursing him heartily.
