Washington dispatch reports a Republican caucus candidate for chaplain of the house being a cousin of Mrs. Harrison. The piece frames party struggles as a threat to Republican or federal control, with talk of returning boards and delaying tactics. It also notes defalcation in the house sergeant at arms office, potential seating battles, and Ohio and Indiana political moves ahead of 1891.
