MISSOURI AND GRAFT BROWN.
THE ORGAN OF THE OHIO REPUBLICANS
on THE SITUATION.

| THE ORGAN OF THE OHIO REPUBLICANS
| on THE SITUATION.
(From the Cine matt Commercially
| Missouri is lost 10 the Administration.
| If General Grant should be renominated,
the electoral vote Of that State would be Sc.
curedto the opposition, provided the
Democracy adort liberal platform, and
| put upon 1t candidate for whom Conser-
vative Republicans canvo,e. The inter-
view between Governor Brown, who re.
| ceived majority Of twenty thousand in
spite Of Administration influences, shows
that the rupture between Grant and the
the Fenton-Conkling quarrel in New
York, radical and complete. Govern.
or Brown declares with great emphasis
that no will not support Grant. He makes
no concealment OF II. He thinks the
Administration Q failure, and Grants
nspotism . national disgrace.
Whether Brown has gone completely
over to the Democracy, or 10 conditio hAlly
with them or not, makes smsll difference.
He substantially controls the vote Of Mis-
souri,, and will throw II for the Demo
cratic candidate, should that party have
the wisdom to nominate q candidate
with such war record % Hendricks, and
| such financisi--one IS Seymour.
II Grant, with all the prestige Of 9
successful General, and the influence Of 4
new administration, having large patron
| age to bestow, could not hold Missouri O
| gainst q party newly organized as wa
the Liberal party in Missouri, at the tint
| GrstZ Brown made successful raid upoi
the Radicals, what can he expect to d.
next year, when the "lsst sands Of his Ad
ministration are nearly run out, and Their
are no spells to distribute?
The position Of Senator Schurz is m
doubt substantially that Of Gov. Brown
| 1t was Schurz who, in the Chicago con
vention, introduced the resolution looking
to the pardon Of all past political odense'
a. soon Is it couldibs done with safety !
the common veal. He believed the tim
for an effort 10 heal old wonds and brin
about . reconciliation had come in Nil
sour. II WAS upon this point - well Q
the tariff that issue WAS taken with the Ad
Ininis,ra,ion. More accurately, the Ad
ninis,fstion took issue with the libers
vas badly beaten.
The rssult has shown the wisdom q
Schurzs policy. No state In the Unio
10 more tranquil to-day than Missouri
II 10 not infested BY kuklux marauders
there 10 political freedom the old hatred
and sninaosities are dying out, and pee
pie differing widely in political view
live together in reasonable harmony
Contrast with.ths peaceful and prospsrou
condition Of Missouri any one:.of the Col
ton States, and the difference 10 nantes
Prior TO the election Of Grstz Brown
and while the State was under Radical rul
there was contention, brswling, murder
and asssssinations, and precisely the clai
Of outrages Of which We hear 30 much ]
Mississippi, parts Of Tennessee and u
Csrolinss. All this ceased after the ele'
ton Of Gov. Brown Is by magic, and no
Missouri, so far % safety 10 life and pr
, pevty ID concerned, 10 desirable State
live In ~ Ohio or Illinois.
It's not likely, therefore, that Minou
: ians will consent 10 see Radicslism resto
ed there or cast their votes for the he's
6 Of an Administration which, has, with Il
concurrence of Congress, kept alive q po
Q icy that requires for its effectiveness Il
CLEAN of bayonets and the rigors Of ma
tial law. While 1t Is not impossible tn
the Republicans may carry the State uPo
4 q liberal platform, and with . candida
like Greeley, 1t as more than morally CO
tain that 1t can not be done IL Grant 10 =
nominated.
