cAo|eric bosoms. To-day Morrison has been
thinking, but be says nothing. He il tho
abtest man In the HOUSE to-day, and his hni.
mostly Is dreaded by the Logan crowd, who
know bis ability and influence. and who
observe the smoldcring fires. Morrison is
far too shrcwd man to vapor and talk, but
some of his friends
0FFEn TO DEr TWO 70 ONE
that Logan will not be the next United statea
Senator from Illinois. To-day tho powers
TINT bo have been attempting to p1acate tho
enraged statesman. He is not, however, 10
bo caught with bone. Mr. Speaker Jamca
invited 31r. Morrison to-day 10 take place
On the Committee intrusted with the very
important duty Of framing tho rules for the
government Of the House, which honor bfr.
Morrison politely declined, aud aomo ono
e1sa was subsequently selected for the place.
Thia evening, sfnco the adjournment Of the
House,
sKVE1tAL MESSAGES
havo been sent 10 3fr. Morrison from tie
room In tho corridor At the aouth end Of tho
Lotel, 10 all Of which, Morrison las turned
deaf ear. Logan's friends havo tried 10 make
lnatters smooth to-day by arguments to con-
vince Morrison that Logan know nothing Of
the trade with Jamea, but TINT kind Of Eoph-
istry is too thin TO deceive politician OF
Morrisonts calibro and experience. Prom.
ises have been made him, but Morrison's in
variable reply is that he has hao enough Of
promises, and man who would sell him out
onco would do 80 again. lie says he asks
nothing Of tho present General Assembly,
30 far as tho organization ID
concerned, and he would not
30 understood. His cooperation and good
will are not to t'o obtained in that sort of
mannor. Tho caucus on Tuesday night will
divulge the course Of Morrison and Lis
friends. THIS evening your correspondent
had
A0ESEHAL TALK WITH CHARLEY FAnWKL1
over tho merits Of the campaign, aud that
gentleman said:
"f air. Logan has the good Of tho party
at heart, he can readily settle the question.
! will agree with him that both of us shall
withdraw and leave the caucus to nominate
ORlesby. have no interest TO subserve but
that Of tho people,"
THE GHOST or THE n1.AcK HORSE
was little more .palpable to-day. aud at
times he took the shapo Of Gov. Cu,lom.
He has been for Logan oil tha way through
for sectional REASONS, aud with q Wow to his
reelection Should they finally pitch on him
he would nccept. This would leave
the Gubernatorial race opon to Logan
two yoArs hence. II hs wero 10
succeed be might be induced
to ngain make tho Senatorial zaoe two yeass
later. That there are some grounda for this
combination is found In tho fact that sew
era1 of Logan's omlssarics wcro lodging
nround ths State-Housc with some of Cnl-
lon,'s Intimate friends, md, II any additional
evidence wero needed, tho quict buzzlug Of
Logan, Long Joncs. and Cullon in the
Leland corridors tonight would possibly fur
nish 1t II the conversation werc divulged
JOHN BAKEn
Is also talked Of as the great unknown, but
careful inquiries develop no support
In his direction except OF q purely 1ocal char
acter. At Logan's headquarters they pooh
pooh any idoa Of dirk horse, but II tho
casuM statements Of Romo of hia intimate
friends amount to anything, It is evident
that the Indian Chief has made up his mind
that, II ho can't DO elected, None Of tho can
didatas before the House can he. This is
his samn old game. lie will consent to hayo
no one fill the Senatorial chair il 10 can l.olp
1t unlcss he can control him. Al this writ
ing III o'c!ock) the Logan managers are
quiouy circulating tho ru1nor that tbs CAUCUS
called for Tuesdny night is
FOR CONSULTATION ONLY.
Those who doubt tho assertion look In
