Liberal Headquarters.
Matters looked rather dull at the liberal heads
quarters yesterday, the heat seeming to have got
the better Of the politicians who usually crowd the
rooms.
John P. Finch, of indianapolis, chairman Of the L
State Liberal Committee Of Indiana, gave some
particulars Of the progress OF the campaign in his
State. He says that owing 10 Senator Hendricks

which may probably have the erect Of keeping
them from the polls In October. Only a very small
portion Of the party, however, seem 30 dis.

on. In the southern part of the State there Is .
slight disarection among the democrats, an in
dividua of some local prominence, Jason B. Brown,
Jason of the Golden Fleece, having taken the

him in the shape Of 900, which was furnished BY
the Grant party. His following, however, is not
large, and has diminished in numbers since he 1Yst

Colonel Hatch expressed great regret at the fall
Of the Pnchback party to fuse with the liberal
republicans ana thinks that the action Of the for
mer means the sodincation Of the negro vote.
Great expectations were entertained that a hsrmo-
NOUS fusion would have been effected, but the
negro element in the Convention was too strong
on the side OF Grant. Colonel Hatch still enter,

made to bring about combination, and now that
Pmchback has shown his hand, It is expected to be-
successful.
.Advices from Maine continue to be favorable.
Messrs. D00lttle and Crozer report great enthusi-
asm for the liberal State ticket, and estimate that
the falling on at the election from the regular repubS

cent. Mr.. Crozier relates that at meeting in Port
