MISSOURI.
The State Convention met in the
Capitol building at Jefferson City on
the 22d ult.. all parts of the State being
represented. The Convention was
called to order by General Sheppard,
Chairman of the State Executive Com
mittee, who delivered a brief address,
referring to the reunited condition OF
the Republican party in Missouri, and
expressing his qualification at seeing
in the Convention equal numbers
of delegates from the Liberal and
Radical wings of the party. Hon,
Henry T. Blow, of st. Louis, also ad
dressed the Convention, advising a
closer union of the party, and the
abolition of all differences among the
Republicans.
Resolutions were adopted congratu.

the planks of the platform adopted is
as follows:
RESOLVED, That inasmuch as the discourag-
ing elements of other States are now looking
to Missouri for the confirmation of their
hopes of division in our ranks, we take
this occasion to proclaim to the Republicans
of the nation that the party in this State is
now united, vigorous and enthusiastic; there
is no cause for schism, and there is nc
schism that it will poll the full Republican
vote of the State for the nominees Of the
National Republican Convention; that thu
present so-called Liberal Republican fac.

party, as it should not be, is contemplate in
numbers, too feeble to organize, and toe
cunning to expose its weakness by separate
organization a mere clique of dissatisfied
persons seeking to perpetuate division
which is now utterly groundless with the
Endorsement Of respectable Republicans,
and embarrass the party.
During the progress of the Conven
ton strong effort was made to pass a
resolution instructing the delegates to
vote in the National Convention fol
Grant. The opposition to this course
was too strong to secure an expression
of the Convention to this effect.
