CAMPAIGN COMMITTEES.

AT the headquarters Of tho independent grecnback
party Saturday the usual quiet atmosphere OF tho
rooms became very lively. The explanation OF the
matter was thus given to the writer-.why, you see
have had a conference committee out to-day, and

Tho sreenback party while it is n unit on the
national and State tickets split on local matters and
we are obliged TO bo careful on that account -
Another representative OF the party told the writer
that tho "iabor party'-a branch OF the crccnback
party-wouid support the republican ticket provided
that party accorded them small portion
OF the ticket. The Rreenback party proper,
however claims through some OF its rcpresen
that will support nothing but straight grccnback
ticket. Messrs Cooper and Cary the candidates for

There was little rest yesterday for the gentlemen in
charge OF the headquarters at the Fih Avenue Hotel
or The Everett House
outsue OF local matters was the address from South
Carolina, which will be found clscwhcro. In regard
to the Tampany nominations IL thought that tho
refusal OF the republicans to unto with antiTammany
and the Green party would result pcradvcnturo the
election OF the regular democratic ticket In OF a
union Mr. Ely would win after some little fight, but
the way matters stood it would simply be a walk
overn Tor him. The probability OF the nomination Of
General Dix. on the republican ticket for Mayor, as
announced IN yesterdays HERALD, was doubted 1t
would be simply suicidal, said gentleman, Tor the
party to make any such nomination. Another
thought that General Dix would not allow himself to
be candidate
Al the finh Avenue Hotel the news received during
tho week had been most cheering Agcntcman from
New Jersey in conversation with the writer said that
n his opinion The large democratic vote pocd in tho
.'tidal wavc', campaign that State would be de-
creased, anu in many districts entirely done away
with. The election there in many ways depended
materially upon the local ticket Independence In
Office not looked upon with favor. For instance,
In the Fourth Congressional district, A. A. Harden
burgh would probably be defeated by his own
party tdemocratic), because he had pursued
an independent course while in tho last
House. In tho Fifth Congressional district
combining the counties OF Bergen Passac and Norris
Dir. W. W. Phelps. the republican nominee tho last
election, was defeated by his party Tor the same
reason Tho gentleman thought that there was
strong grounds Tor expecting n republican victory IN
the State.
In regard TO local matters II was thought that The
nomination OF General Dix would DO most excellent
one, his would carry thousands of votes for
the party.
