REPUNLICAN HEADQUARTERS, y It was exceedingly quict at Republjean Head- quarters yesterday. At the Cook County Central Committes rooms a melancholy janitor kept guard, and waa obliged to ask very few to give the countersign. The real headquarters for the campalgn are now constdered to be thoronglly entablisticd atthe new rooms inthe Grand Pacif- fc, and thither all speculative Republicans re- pair for news. Dan Shepard was bualed dur- fng most of the day in answering letters from all parts of the Btate. They were hopeful In tons, and expressed a genoral desire to profit by theorganizationhereasaguide tobetterorganiza- tlons in the respective localities from which they came, Boveral callers were present during the day, Including Gen, Raum, George 8. Bangs, Col. A. . Babcock, and otbers, sud o good deal of quict, routine work was necomplishod, It seems to be the opinfon that the campaign will not be a very vigorous ono until after Sep- tember, althouy ls_will depond, to 8 great extent, on what the Democrats do at Bpring- field towards opening the ball. - The Kepul icans are procecding very quictly and thorough- 1y with tholr organization, sud sro not disposed 10 nolsc abroad Just what they are doing merely for the purposo of giving thcmselves away to the Democrats, who would gladly profit by any- thing which would tend to muka their own or- ganization stronger. DEMOCHATIO IRADQUARTERS are now virtually at tho Palmer Housc. This is denoted by the fmmense placard on the north- east corner of the Pulmer House, already al- Iuded to In Tus Trinuxg, and by a wost wretched daub representin the busis of two Individuals whom the beholder {5 left toimagine aro Tilden and Tlendricke,—~chiefly from the sur- roundinga. Ono engo and disgusted Demaocrat yesterday 8dvised the Committeo to re- moye that picture during the hours of the night, and hll its placo with somecthing that looked ltke Tilden und Hendricks, if they had any hopes of electing them in Illinols. Tho plct- wre came from New York, which fact may in gome measuro account for ita utter and unre- lieved badness, It is the deslon to have two copies made of the pnlntln{: of Tilden now stick on the wall in the Committeo-rooni, and two pletures of lendricks of a corresponding slze, and string them across the street on tho wires sigu plan—one to ba stretelied from the Palmer over to Matson's jewelry store, and the otlier to be stretehed from the window of the Palmer across to the diagonally opposite cornor, These pictures will be accompanied by the appropriste Tegend, “ Democratic Campalgn llemlr‘:mwrn," vruhru:\f toanid the fgnorant in meking out whom the worka of art represent. Among the visitors yesterday were Perry, 1, B8mith, who retumed’ yesterday morulxifi romn the East, T. D. Coulter, of Aurora, .y tho Hon. A M, Hurlv;fiton, of_Genova, 11, Jobn Fotsythe, F. H. Wluston, J. M. Dunn, Judge Gilbert, from the interfor, the Hon, Lyman B.Far- ghall, of Des Moines, and others. 'The Jast- named gentleman, Mr, Parshall, clalms that he ‘was formerly a Republican, but when he saw the eraof Tilden and Reform setting fn he experl- enced a chango of heart, and 18 uow, a8 he ex- presses it, ‘ an arlent Democrat.” Ito proposes to stump Wiscone(n for Tildey, and mokes the Etlmvngnnt boast that Tilden will carry- that tate. i ALL EYES ARR TURNED TO SPRINGPIELD jns\nlprcncn and there Is any amount of Rpeculation as to what the Convehtfon will do. ne Democrat talks of an alllance with the In- dependents, and perbaps the next Detnocrat on mect expresacs his oplnion of any suchi oa- fitlon In_terma unmistakable if not elegant. Tho two Democrats who seent to be most prom- {nently mentfoned In_ connection with the Goy- ernorship are Judge Catorr and 8enator Glenn. Qne opinfon {s that, {f Caton (s nominated, the Democrats will be so reasonably sure bE success that they will leave the Independents to.fight their own battles, with perhaps some triting concesslon. Another ovinfon 18 that, i€ Geun should be the lucky mon, the Democrats will ot be so confident of ruccess, and will give the alternate ofllees Lo the Grangers. Still unother plan, aud the most popular plan of all to the ‘country Democrats esucclally, 18 to awallow the Granger nomination for Qavernor, and to put gtraight Dlemoerats In for Secrotary of Btate and Buperiutendont of Bchools, In‘other words; it 18 a vast secthing canldron of half- mistured Pluns. #uy one of ‘which may fail when it comes to be discussod in caucus and sprung upon the Convention.

Apectal Dispatch to The Tridune, New Yonk, July 25.—The ant{-Tammany rat- {fication of the St. Louls nominations last night was followed this evening by the Tammany ratification meeting in and about Tammany Hall, It was a spiritiess affalr, and nelther in numbers or enthusiasm did ft compare with Democratic mass-inectings in New York in previous campalgns,, The stimulus of n confllent cxpectation of auccess, which Tias ieen 8 potent source of enthusiasm In otber years, was wanting, ‘There were few prominent speakers, Gllbert C.

This spirit of the audienco was early developed during the delivery of * MR, DANA’S BPRRCH, which was wholly of a denunciatory etyle, and the speakers who followed were quick to catch it. Mr. Hancock, of Texas, aud otliers, made complimentary allualons to Gov. Ilayes. Mr. Haneock, in ohe place, nlluded to the military leaders of the Rebellion aa the ablest captains of thenineteentheehtury, and very nearly succeeded In surprising the audieuce into applause, but it was cliccked in o moment. On the whole, the audience was not qnick, ready, and intelligent. ‘A lonz Nstof Vice-Chalrmen and Secretaries wag read, but few of the nanes had more than a Jocal siguificance, and many of the most ‘rominent named were not present. i ———— MISCELLANEOUS, M1, WIEELELR AND THE OMIO RIVER INTERESTS, Cisciwnatyy, 0., July 25.—W., A.

The Banking and Currency Committee met and had a very sharp and bitter discussfon, but, at the close, a motion to report the bill repealing the resumption clause, was lost by a tie vote. Goode, of Virginia, was ab- sent. Gibson, of Loulelana, stood firm against repeal. Wike, of Tilinols, went over to the "Softs on a final vote, but Haymond, of Indiana, voted agalnst ruporting to-day, and this caused action to bo postponed till Thursday by a tie vote. Bland, of Missourl, howover, got up his 8fiver bill ws unfinished business, for, although his Commitice has lost fta place in the morning hour, It 1s only for reporting now matter. This remalns as unfinfshed business. A polnt of order was made that tho bill would require an nppropria- tion to carry 1t out, and that under the rulo it should GO TO TIVE COMMITTEE OF THS WIIOLH, Tad thero been no partisan slde to the bill this polnt would doubtless liavo been sustalined, but it was of too much consceuence to the Boft Democrats to keep this bill in hand to let a fing polut of order stand in the way, sud so, doubt- less, |n accord with the scotiment of the major- ity of the Iouse, the Bpeaker overruled tho rolut, and gave the Dbl a position n the morning hour till disposcd of.
