Liberal Republicans Of Missouri:
It rests with you to complete the victory which
elections in other States clearly promise. One
hundred and eighty-four electoral votes arc
needed to elect the Presidential candidate of
the Liberal movement commenced By you. OF
tons, tons, willie in six other States, cast
ing Afty-seven electoral votes, the Lib
esal candidate has every prospect Of success.
have concentrated all their power Of discipline
and resources of corruption upon the great
States which have formed the very backbone Of
the Republican party. Yet even there they
have met with defeat in Indiana, with stagger-
ing loss in Ohio, and have held Pennsylvania
only by such alarming and palpable frauds as
must rouse the indignation Of honest citizens.
The majority Of 81 ,oOO IN Georgia, where the
largest preceding vote showed 4 majority OF only
2s,663, and the fact that d large proportion of
ticket, clearly prove that every Southern State,
except North Carolina, South Carolina: and Mis-
sasppi, will give it's electoral yotes to Mr. Gree
lev. In spite OF the recent election, carried by
importations which can hardly be repeated in
the general contest, North Carolina seems likely
to cast her votes for the came good cause Of re-
Cancellation and peace. Without it, 98 votes are
secured from the Southern States.
Gains Of 8 3:1S per cent in Vermont, 9-l0 per
cent in Maine, and recent elections in Connecti-
cut, show that New York, New Jersey, Con
necticut. and probably Now Hampshire, will be
carried by the Liberal ticket. In New York
gain Of only IL per cent is needed, aud the
known strength Of the Liberal candidate leaves
no room to doubt that the State will give lin
heavy majority. In spite Of the most desperate
efforts Indiana hiss also been carried, and as its
majority OF 961 in October, 1868, was followed
by majority OF 9572 for the same ticket in No
bricks on Thursday last will now be fol
lowed by thousands for Greeley. To these add
Nevada, carried by Democrats without aid in
1870, and Missouri, in which the Liberal move
ment has been already victorious, and our ticket
Votes. @ or or one hundred and eighty-one in ali
only three less than the number required to
elect Yet North Carolina remains with ten
votes. New Hampshire with five, Wisconsin
with ten, Minnesota with five, California with
six, and Illinois with twenty-one, aud in each
OF these States victory seems highly probabl g,
while the tremendous gains already made
in Ohio. prompt our friends to work with re-
doubled energy and hope for the contest in No No
nois are moving under the lead Of Koerner, and
35 GOO in Wisconsin, with majority of only 10, :
600 to overcome, listen with indignation to tho
shameful abuse Of their favorite countrynan,
once citizen Of that State, and now Senator
from Missouri In Hamilton County, Ohio,
there are but $4,000, and yet that county nov
shows Liberal gain Of 10.o45, compared with
the last full vote.
To elect Mr. Greeley, to secure reconciliation
and pence to our land there is needed therefore
only that resolute and well-directed effort
which patriotic men, inspired by O. sacred pur-
pose, Will not fail to make. If that purpose had
been absent before, the recent gigantic frauds
would supply it. For the first time II our lte-
public, State of the largest class has been com.
p1etely captured by organized swindling and
| corruption. Failing with the honest voters,

Missouri will not hesitate. The contest Of 1870

nor cheated. Local dissensions do not lessen
the longings Of our people to achieve for othe1

which Liberalism has given to us. registraF
