Samuel Bowles has been studying the
politics of Missouri, and writes from ST
Louis in reference to the present position Of
parties:
1t is not very easy to see how political
parties in Missouri will work out of the con-
fusion that the late campaign, with its
division in the Republican ranks, and the
semi-coalition of the Democrats with the
liberal Republicans. created If General
Grant should be renominated, a consider
able portion of the Republicans would be
permanently thrown off and join almost
any sort of liberal opposition. Gratz Brown
the Governor, is much more likely to join
such an opposition movement than Senator
Carl Schurz, the latter being evidently less
inclined to sever his connection with the
Republican party. Whether General Grant
could carry Missouri under such circnm-
stances is doubtful. The probabilities now
are that he could not, while it is absolutely
certain that any other Republican could,
without any difficulty. 1t is thus obviously
for the interest of the Republicans Of Mis-
souri, that another than General Grant
should be the party candidate, for with al
most with any other leader they could, as
they can not with him. restore the party to
all Its old unity, and more than its old power
| over the State
