AT HEADQUARTERS.

Matters were very quiet at Republican Head
quarters in the Grand Pacific yesterday. Da1
Shepard was around once more, and Col. A. C.
Babcock returned in the afternoon from. Syca,
more, where he has been for j couple of days
No callers OF any very great Importance eanlc
around, and the day was given up to answering
correspondence.
AT DEMOCRATIC HEADQUARTERS
matters were somewhat liyeler. Indeed, before
the day was over the crow-eaters succeeded in
arousing some enthusiasm. There is disposi-
tion not only to accept the situation, but to put
bold front on the matter. The Democrats
now say that they are exceedingly we'll pleased
with the Springfield ticket. They assert,
With. with John n FGfzythe' whose jaws are
cess, that Steward has always been an out~and-
out, true-bluc Democrat, and they can't see that
it is at all hurniliating to them to work for him
simply because he happened to he the nominee
OF the Greenbackcrs The ma1contents, among
whom Senator Robinson is recognized as chet,
ticket, and in ri1icu1ing those WHO are laboring
under the infatuation that the Independents arc
to work for Tildcn. The views of Senator Robin
son were pretty well expressed at the meeting
OF the City Central Committee Yesterday after
noon, but they did not take with the masses,
who are disposed to acquiesce- And it is not al
together out OF the question but that these very
discontentcd ones will, after the first cbultiuns
Of disappointment and Indignation, quietly drop
into line aud wear the party harness, CALLING as
it may be.
AMONG THE NoTABLEs
who dropped in ut Headquarters yesterday, be-
sides the local celebrities, were Gustlvus
koerner, Jr., Of st. Clair County and DR.. Miller,
ct the Omaha Herald, member of the National
Executive Committee. Mr.. koerncr expressed
his satisfaction with the Springfield ticket, and
cilattcd merrily with Perry II. Smith and J. R.
Doolittle, Jr., on the prospects Of Democratic
Independent Granger success this fall. As for
Mr. Doolittle: he was almost entirely happy.
There was but one thing that could add to the
measure of his happiness, and that was letter
of acceptance from Tilden. A reporter for TuE
TRIBUNE gave him what encouragement he
could By remarling that there was prospect of
getting it out some time before October, but
said he thought it would be out
some time during the present week. DR..
Miller, Of the Omaha Herald, was on his way to
New York, and left for that city yesterday after
noon By the Michigan Central. He had but
coed in getting particularly interested in Illinois
State politics. In regard to Democratic pros
pccts III Nebraska, he had the usual arguments
to make in favor Of Tiden. The people wanted
q change-refor1n in the Administration-and
Ii1den was the only man to bring it about.
They were hopeful out there in Nebraska, said
he, but the Democrats had to work against an
immense amount of Federal patronage, and, in
his opinion, it would require a good deal Of
earnest, unceasing work before the State rolled
up a majority for 1ildcn. He thought it could
be done, though, and said the Democrats were
sufficiently aroused to make it warm fight.
The Hendricks picture was hung up beside
that Of Tilden in Room % yesterday after
noon. While not remarkable as q work OF art,
it gives pretty fair representation OF the Great
American Fenec-Stradd1cr. It hangs on the
east wall, by the side OF the picture Of Tildcn.
Both will be taken down soon aud strung across
the street.
There will be a meeting Of the Democratic
County Committee, appointed at the last Con-
yention, at County Headquarters, II Clark
street, Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock.
NOTIFYING THE CANDIDATES.
Mr.. J. c. Richherg, Chairman of the Com
mittec appointed by the Springfield Convention
to notify the Democratic candidates of their
has returned to this city. Hc saws
that the Committee drew up letter Of notifi-
cation before he left Springfield, which will be
sent to the several nominees. It is not the in
tcntion Of the Committee to personally notify
Tue gentlemen, but by means Of this letter they
will inform them of the action of the Conye1i- !
ion, and at the same time will call particular
attention to the hard-money resolutions in the |
st. Louis platform, and demand that they in |
aorse them or withdraw from the ticket. This |
ctter awaits the signature OF one or two of the |
Committee, but it is expected that it will be
sent to-day. A prompt reply will be de-
handed.
