The Situation in Missouri.

There is a strong probability that
the sanguine G~reelevitcs who are
counting Missouri as certain for the
Chappaqnack may be mistaken in
their calculations. Missouri has not
gone Democratic since she first
wheeled into line and commenced step
ping to the music of the Union. and If
the Republicans oftlie State arc true
to their principles and throw a proper

vote will be given to Grant and vii
son.
There is a mistaken notion abroad
that the nomination of Brown for the
Vice Presidency will make the Cincin-

look in vain for any evidence of Gov

politician. He is distrusted by his
supporters and is openly rcpudiated
by ninety-nine hundrcdths of the Re-
publicans who advocated his election
for Governor in 1870. The Cincinnati
ticket would have been stronger in
Mis- ouri to-day with either Palmer or
Curtin in Browns place, than it is
with his name appended to it.
Conceding the loss of a large number
of German Republican voters who
will allow themselves to be transferred
to Greeley i'll accordance with Mr..
Schurz's arrangement in New York
city, il is certain that this loss will be
more than compensated b. gains from
Democratic voters. Germans and
