POLITICAL POINTS. The Coming Campaign to bo an Ag gressive one in Oregon. Talk , With .Mr. Gregg. A Journal reporter accosted Hon. J. T. Gregg, secretary of the state central committee, this morn ing, inquiring as to theintentions of the state committee in tho coming presidential campaign. Mr. Gregg said ho would go to Portland in a day or two, and be ready to onen fire on tho enemy from within the central committee's fort as soon as they saw enough of our foes to shoot at; auu it tiiey did not show up of their own sweet will in a few days, tho committee would likely start out an active array of excellent campaign warriors to hunt for them. "We intend to make an aggressive tight, and to do our best to Increase our majority to 10,000 in November." Mr. Gregg thinks it can bo done, if the nominees of tho convention are satisfactory. Of course, Mr. Gregg believes with all Oregon republicans, that Mr. Blaine could poll tho larg est vote in Oregon of any nominee, but he feels that Mr. Elaine is out of the fight. When asked who could poll the next largest vote in our state he unhesitatingly answered "Alger." Yet, he thinks that any mau who may prove the choice of the republican delegates in tho con vention, will be able to carry Oregon by a largo majority over Mr. Cleve land. Mr. Gregg is very well pleased with the result of the first campaign under tho management of the new central committee, and the Journal feels that every republican in the state feels the same way. Mr. Uailn knew his man, when ho selected Mr. Gregg for the responsible post of secretary of his committee. "How, about speakers in this campaign, Mr. Gregg? Are you go ing to import another man with his legs shotofF, to theeverlasting worry of the democracy?" was asked. "I don't know; we may," ho replied. "Yet, I think, while wo will have a good corps of speakers in the field, we will depend on local talent, mainly this campaign. We have a largo number of ablo speakers in the state, and we will make use of them." Arrangements have been made by which tho nominees of the conven tion will be known hero a few min utes after they are made, probably on Wednesday, and the county com mittee is preparing to let the people know when they hear in the usual manner. A ratification meeting Is also talked of for that evening, but nothing definite is decided on yet. The republicans everywhere feel dis posed to make a hard, hot fight during this campaign, and they will change tho order of things In No vember if there are enough of them. The Camp Meeting. Itev. J. W. AVebb writes from Turner as follews: "Tho Christian camp meeting was largely attended to-day (Sunday) by visitors from tho town, Salem and other places. Elder Clark IJraden, tho celebrated lecturer and debater, and Elder G. W. Sweeney, editor of the California Christian Independent aro expected to bo present to-morrow and follow ing days and to address tho public. Many campers are coming in. The meeting will continue over next Sunday. Since tho above was put In type, tho following additional particulars aro received from Mr. Webb : Tho attendance of hundreds of peoplo at tho camp meeting in Tur ner, including many Salomitos, sur prised tho most sanguine, consider ing tho weathor. Elder Clark Bradon, of Ohio, arrived last night, on tho delayed ovorland train from California. Ho will sponk horo to night at 7:80 also to-morrow at 11 n.

Col lins this morning rewarded tho writer, by giving him information thnt the number of briek told so far in this city during the present Ma son, wax about 800,000. Mr. Collins said that he oonnldered thU a good salo, considering that the season was barely openod yet. He thinks tliat Salem, may well be satisfied with the number of Improvement Ut are going on within her limits, and says that lie really consklew Uiat building Is very lively here now. About 400,000 brick is usually the maximum sale for a year, but lie thinks Uw number used will exceed that this year. JEFFERSON NOTES. Gathered by our Traveling Corres pondent.

Tho board had a postal from him last month, tell ing them not t ocnd him any pam phlets, but they sent him some, and ho was sent a copy of the Journal containing his postal. The board is in receipt of two more cards, probably written on re ceipt of these documents. Here they are : Nkw York, May 31, 1SSS. ,'Plic Salem Board of Trade: "Please don't send me your books.
