HEADQUARTERS.
TIE REPUBLICANS.
At Republican headquarters yesterday there
was the greatest activity, and the feeling was
better than at any time since the nominating
Convention. The crowd was large, and repre-.
sentcd every ward in the city, and they brought
with them the best Of reports. The meetings
held the night before were reported to have
been large and enthusiastic, and the general
feeling was one Of confidence. Whatever Ills
agreements that had existed were said to have
been fixed up, and everybody seemed dctcrmin-
ed to take hold with renewed earnestuess the
coming week and work to secure for Mr.. Wright
au old-t!me Republican majority. In fact, the
scene thereabouts reminded one of times gone
by, there was SO much unison, earnestness, in-
duStrY, and determination on all sides. The
Campaign Committee was in session in the
forenoon, and every member wore q pleasant
couDtenance, and had words of cheer. The best OF
feeling prevailed, and the future was looked for
ward to as being laden with victory, which was to
be made the prouder and greater by a weeks
hard work. The reports MADE showed that the
wards were organizing, that much OF the apathy
which had spread disu,ay for several days had
disappeared, that the Republicans were arous-
ing to the Importance Of the approaching elcc-
tion, and that the indications wcro that large
vote would be polled* They also showed that
in the Democratic strongholds the opposition
ticket was not giving satisfaction to either the
Germans or the Irish,-the Germans contend
ing that Sepp did not represent them, but
simply q coterie of aristocrats, who were too
proud to associate with the masses except at
election time; and the Irish, that Howard did
not represent them, and beside, that he had the
reputation of being ashamed OF his name and
nationality, and smotherlng both oy writing his
name - L. J. Howard" instead Of "Fatricl, -
anu Of having forbid his friends calling him
"Patrfck," because it put him On an
equality with the lower classes, ETC., whom he
had grown to look down upon. OF Mr.. Har-
rison's candidacy it 1vas reported that the work
ingmcn in the wards were not inclined to favor
him oyermuch on account Of his refusal to in
tercele for the stone-cut1crs when their wages
were reduced some years ago on the Custom
House work, notwithstanding they wrote him
on the subject.
: In the afternoon the Executive Committee
was in session, comforting with the more promi-
nent Republicans uud taxpayers in reference TO
the work Of the cam Daign. Mayor Heath was
among those present, aud the meeting partool1
OF the character OF 8 loye-feast- The greatest
unanimity ol feeling prevailed, and the greatest
e: confidence e, was expressed in the success OF the
their coats and go to work, not in
the interest of the party alone, bus in
the interest Of good government, and their
work will Tell, for they we're the substantial,
calamity to turn the city over to the rule Of Il
party which in the past las proved incapable Of
ruling its own members, and wherever it has
had power has brought disaster and ruin upon
the people.
AT THE DEMOCRATIC RENDEZVOUS
there was q calm. Much Of the exuberance OF
feeling OF the DAY before had oozcd out somc-
how, ;ltld those who had been the most confident
were just little shaky. Several were heard to
severely criticiSe the Campaign Committee, and
to say that it was more ornamental than use
full, and WAS allowing every opportunity OF sue
cess to slip through its fingers. They thought
it was composed OF the wrong material, and
that it WAS making the mistake OF thinking it
was the party itself, which they feared would
be found out when it was too late
for the good OF the cause. But
a few took the other view OF the case, and rea-
soned that the Committee was an experiment,
and that it was experimenting, and ia no event
could the party be worse off than it was. The
clamor for money was heard more distinctly
than it bad been the day before, and those who
had for days been looking for the opening Of
the provcrbial barrel were not little chagrincd.
Mr. Seipp had even deserted them, and they
were dry and tired; but their discomft was n
blessing to others in the same fix, for he was
around spending his money with 4 layishuess,,
and, it was said, making personal canvass, 70
door, asking for.yotes. The other candidates
were not around not even Mr.. Harrison, but il
they had been the situation would not have
been very different, for they have differ

fortunate for one of them, at least his comfort
Of mind, that he made himself scarce, for in the
discussion OF his merits some very harsh things
we're said of him by his friends, which it was
thought If they could be proven By the records
These reports we're not confined to the head
quarters, but were in the mouth Of Democrats
IN the streets, and it is understood are to be
looked into by the party nagnates. The Cam
naign Committee was looked up all the after
noon, and the Committee appointed to report
IN estimate OF the assessments neccs-
'ary to be made on the candidates for
campaign expenses reported, but, SO far
Is could be learned, nothing was agreed upon
pending the discussion Of the proposition to do
lters. The estimate reported footed up abont
s., 500, which it is thought will be sufficient to
oay all legitimate election expenses, but
the Committee have no such idea as conhning
he expenses to this sum; neither have the can-
lidates. The proposition sece1ns to be to dc-
,end upon volunteers ,o.peddlc tickets, or, if
my men are hired, that it shall be done BY the
candidates at their discretion, which the Com
nittec think viii be 4 vast improvement on past
lsages. The money heretofore spent for ped
)lers they think can be better applied in draw
NJ the voters to the polls, and this plan will
probably be adopted.
