Political POINTS.

Chicago. .SI.-TIt6Rnc'S st. Louis:
Hunt, greenbAeker, Ninth Missouri
District, has been given q certificate OF
election. This ends all the chances OF
democrats organizing the house.
TTi6ttne's Washington: Speaker Ram
dali arrived last Friday. The speake
has not found time TO call on the presi-
dent elect, either u congratulate him or
to apologize for the swift conciuiion that
the Morey letter Has genuine,
Orth said that all talk about any Diff
Guilty in organizing the Indiana senate,
was moonshine. There ia one green
hacker in the Senate. The number Of
republicans and democrats is equal. Ortiz
says the greenba senator will vote with
the republicans to organize the Senate.
TTi6lae's Washington: An intimate
friend Of Garfield says Blaine came 10
Wash ngton at thu request VI Garfield for
CONFIDENTIAL conferences. They breAs-
tasted logslher and there is little doubt
that GARFIELD te de-ed and Blaine de-
clined first the secretsrysbip Of state and
second The treasury portfolio.
The Times Washington has long
interview with Congressman Berry, from
which the following Is CLEANED: Senator
Booth, is visiting his parents in Terre
Haute. Pacheco is in New York, both en-
route here. Berry believes General Miller
will undoubtedly be the republican choice
for senator in California, but possibly
the democrats will form combination
with disaffected republicans and re-elect
Booth, or some other man opposed to
Miller Berry claims that Miller's con.
nection with the Alaska Fur Company
is opposed by some republicans. Berry
Is not very sanguins of Miller's defeat,
but rather believes he will succeed The
Coast democracy were injured rather
than aided by the MoIey letter, as they
regarded Garfeld's position on the Chi
nese question bad at any rate. Berry
anticipates q stalwArt administration,
with Grant, Cenkling, Cameron and |
Gsrham in the fore, Gorham controlling |
the patronage of California. There is |
little else in the interview, Of which the |
Times, editorIally, says: One Of the Cal |
ifJrnia congressman has reached Wash |
ington with full information as to why /
business in California, has been rather /
poor, the democrats cry for q char ge
found response in the hearts of Califor-
mans, and the democrats were further
assisted by the Aorey letter and by Mr..
Gs'ield's support Of Hayes veto of he
Chinese immigration bill AS repub leans
claimed the credit of all good times, they
ought not 10 complain that they were
held responsible for the bad times on the
Pacific Slope. Names discourteous
treatment Of the republican party in Sep.
TENDER was largely attributed to the fact
that Maine had not shared much
in the general TO iysl Of business. These
facts ought to revolutionize politics.
Instead OF VISITING its time debating with
the government party, the opposition
should devote itself to damaging the
business of tre country as much as pos
sible. 1t should encourage arson, bur-
glAry and highway robbery; cause as
many business failures as possible; kill
fish in the streams, and invite grssshop-
pers to look after the growing crops. II
the government party could not avert
these ills it would be justly punished for
It's INSTRUMENTATION at tue next cleo
ton.
Columbus, 3O.-The Ohio electoral
college met, but owing to the absence of
three members adjourned till to morrow.
They will visit Garfield after their bust
ness Is transacted
