Important Political Movement.
ST. LOUIS, June 14.-The Republican
of tomorrow will contain the following,
using the exact language suggested by
Mr.. SchurZ, In reference to the proposed
New York consultation: "The meeting
Of gentlemen opposed to the reelection
Of General Grant, which, according to a
dispatch published yesterday, win be
held at New York on the thirtieth Of this
month, is to be composed of gentlemen
representing all the different shades of
the opposition, and not, as has been sug-
gested in some quarters, of men untavOr-
able TO Mr.. Greeley as a candidate for the
Presidency. Its purpose is TO unite all
the elements of the opposition for COM
mon action. The list of the signers of
the invitation as given in the dispatch
can hardly have been complete, as we
have been informed on reliable author
ity that the use of the name of Senator
Schurz was obtained only upon the un-
derstanding that the invitation should
Dt SlBuSu dlSO DN SOIllt ONliti
known to be friendly to Mr.. Greeley,
and distinctly representing the Cincin-
natl nominees and should be addressed
TO prominent men known to be of the
same way of thinking.
The Republican further states that the
assumption which has gone out from
the East that because Mr.. SchurZ was
disappointed in the result of the Cincin-
natl nomination he will not support
Greeley, is very far from being true.
We have no doubt whatever that the
Senator, should no opportunity be EN-
braced before, will, in his own emphatic
manner, establish the truth of the state
ment at the meeting in New York on
the twentieth. The Senator regards it
as now certain that the only candidates
for President before the people next No
vember will be Greeley and Grant.
Meeting of the Liberal Committee
ST. LOUIS, June 14.-The Liberal State
Committee held a meeting to-day, at
which the subject of holding State
Convention was discussed, and it was
decided not to call one until after the
Baltimore Convention. Senator SchurZ
and Governor Brown were present, and
both made speeches, in which they adj
vised a conciliatory course toward the
| Democrats.
