CHICAGO, Jan. THE Times Mentor
special says: A prominent Republican
member of Congress from Illinois, and an
intimate friend of Garfield, said here to-
be in the Cabinet, but l can name some
men who will not. Two of them are
Charles Foster and William B. Allison.
General Garfield is deeply interested in the
question as to what will be done with
David Davis. If anybody could influence
Davis to resign his seat or get off the fence
on the Republican side, he could render
Garfield a service that would be appre-
ciated more than any other help that can
be given him in the Cabinet making.
Conkling will come out of the Sprague
trial blacker than the devil. His conduct
in the Sprague family is a national dis
grace, and a digrace to the Republican
party. He will be ruined. He ought to be
damned forever. He cannot be counte-
nanced by such men as Garfield and
Blaine after the exposure which is certain
to be made if ~Sprague's suit goes on.
Grant has taken to drink again, and
made an unfortunate exhibition Of him
self several times lately.
Garfield said to-day he would not go to
Washington until about the 1st of March.

More MOrey Letter Dirt.
WARRINGTON, Jan. 7.-Chairman Bar
mum says the letter Of the publisher Of the
New York Truth to Garfield. saying the
paper was deceived into publishing the
Morey letter by members Of the National
Committee, 10 entirely false. No member
OF the committee knew what the letter was
until 1t was published. We did hear that
Truth had . letter, q free trade letter, and
SEM q member to see about it. The editor
refused to show it or even tell what it was,
and the next morning he published it.
The hrst any member of the committee
ever saw Of 1t was when the letter appeared
in Truth.
