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
