SACRAMENTO, Jan. 8l.-Cau-
cuses were held by both the Sen.
ate and House this afterdrnoon.
The Senate CAUCUS was presided
over by w. A. Cheney, of Plumas,
The only contest Of importance
was that over J. r. Briefly, against
whom Senator Baker and his
friends had combined. Although
defeated for assistant clerk, Brierly
was successful In q venture for
Journal clerk. The Senate caucus
decided to take out of the
hands Of the President thu power
of appointment to all subordinate
positions and the Assent bly, caucus
is talking Of doing the same thing.
This will permit the Houses to 20.
|iect their own officials completely.
Senator Chase. q Greenbacks sr
from Santa Barbara, remained out
of the caucus, saying that be did
not propose to throw away the
great results obtained by the
0reeRbackers at the recent election n
by afflliatiug with his old time
loves. The caucusing to-day has

regards the Senatorship. All the
com pstiters Of Gen. Miller have
virtually given up the dght, sena.
tor Booth's friends having held .
few meetIngs and found that they
cannot, without visitation Of
providence, elect their man. Miller
will probably have two-thirds oi
the joint caucus and IS nearly oil
his strength is pledged, 1t is mol
likely to desert him In the trying
moment. With the election OF
Parks for Speaker all Idea of de-
fsating Miller or carrying out any
attempt to repeal the debris legis-
lation of last session has vanished .
