Florida Jones Still in Detroit.

has this from its Washington correspondent:
"A well known gentleman from Detroit
arrived here to-day and brings the latest
news from Senator Jones, of Florida. lie
says Jones Is the loneliest man III Detroit
to-day. Early In the campaign he started
out as a great card for the democrats to stump
the state, but the name of Jones did not
awaken enthusiasm. People did not take
much stock in HMM fact they left before
he began TO speak, and when he got through
he returned to Detroit an awful failure. lie
found that his friends one by one began to
leave him and soon he found himself literally
without companion. He made up his mind
to return to Florida and everything was
ready for the trip, but suddenly ne changed
his mind and remained in Detroit lie
rarely goes out of the Russell hotel, where
re boards. His bills are paid weekly and
he dresses in excellent style. The lady OF
his. affections is still in Detroit, but they
never speak as they pass by. Altogether,
Senator Jones life is lonely one, and his
friends are still trying to persuade him to 20
home.
THE NORTH CAROLINA LEGISLATURE.
There Is no reasonable doubt that the
North Carolina legislature will be organized
and managed by the republicans this winter:
John G.. Logan Harris, who is manager of
:. the republican party in the state, tele-raphs
here from Raleigh that the le1 isature stands
thus: Scnate-twenty-s democrats twenty.
one republicans and three independents.
llousc-Dtty-siX democrats tifty mine repub-
lcans and seven independents. On joint
ballot IL stands eghty-two repubi leans, sew
enty-eght republicans aud ten independents.
MIR. Harris says that the INDEPENDENTS in
both houses were elected to vote against the
democrats If not with the republicans, and
that there is no likelihood that the democrats
can capture enough of them to control the
legislature. lie is positive that the election.
laws will be changed to favor fair cleo
thpTptnrn
ities 1t Is thought here that the independ-
ent members of the legislature may be given
some of the most important offices in coales-
cling with the republicans for the organization
OF the legislature, but North Carolinians in
both parties say that the present practises of
the democratic party and election laws in the
state are quite as offensive to the independ-
ents as straight republicans; also that they
were elected with the distinct understanding
that they would act with the republicans III
reversing affairs The democrats, having a
majority in the senate, may make trouble for
the fusionsts in changing the election laws,
but the republicans declare it viii be done,
and that the state will give her electoral vote
in 1883 for the republican candidate.

uARRISoNs CHANCES
letter was received here to-day
from lndianapo!is, written by one of
Senator Harrlson's most trusted friends, stat
Ing that beyond any question OF doubt the
Indiana legislature Is republican on Joint bal
lot and that Harrison will Ina reelected this
winter. The latter states that at least three
and probably live democrats who have been
given certificates Of election to the lower
house will be 0usted if not now, by pro-
cesses of court, by contest when the legisla-
ture conVenes. Indiana republicans in this
city have information from the state which
warrants their being confident Of Senator
Harrison's reelection.
HOW THE HOUSE STANDS.
Returns from congressional districts
throughout the country are so nearly COM
plete now that it is possible to tell the relative
strength of the two parties as they will APP
pear in the next house. According to the ig-
ures of Secretary Mcpherson, of tine republi-
can congressional committee, the republicans
will have l53 members leaving AGAINST them,
counting the entire oppositon-democrats
labor men and independent toghther-l7l
representatives. There are three labor can
didates, who If they act Independently of the
democrats. will decrease the bourbon men to
l6s. AT any rate the majority cannot go over
cratic member (Which is mprobahIc), and
every ndependent or third party man votes
with that side of the house.
