the people OF Missouri will make
profitable exchange in the election
OF Gen. SCHURz. We fully coincide
witch the views of the Journal. and
hope the Missouri legislature will show
It's good sense by making the exchange.
Gen. ScHURz is a gentleman who
has few superiors IN the qualities nee
essary for a Senator. His political
course has been Of no doubtful char
acter, nor has his principles been the
result OF desire for honors. He was
an active Republican when that party
was IN the minority. and when his
countrymen generally in the state
held to political views adverse to his.
His course has been consistent from
the first, and being a man who would
be an honor to the position, his many
friends IN " isconsin would rejoice to
learn of his selection as successor to
HENDERSON.
