Missouri Views.
ST. LOUIS, July 2.-At a meeting this
evening of a number of leading Missouri
delegate to Baltimore it was the unanimous
expression that the delegation should adhere
to the denomination policy,it being consid-
cred the most efficient mode of furthering
the election of Greeley and Brown. The
general opinion seems to be that while the
J convention should give no uncertain sound
as to its preference for Greeley over Grant,
a simple recommendation would be gilmore
real service than the formal adoption of
him as the Democratic candidate.
The Grant Campaign I'm North Caro-
| lima.
| Special to the Cincinnati Commercial.
WASHINGTON, June 30.-The Grant
party are devoting all the energy they pos
sess, and all the great resources of The ad-
ministration to the campaign in North Car
olina. Everything is subordinated to that
object, and every consideration which can
| in any way assist to secure the desired end
| is embraced. As that is the State whose
election comes first, it is deemed of strink-
| ing importance to carry it in the interest OF
the Grant party. 1t is regarded that the
moral effect in favor of Grant would be
most excellent, and so all the strong in
fluences Of the administration are brought
to bear, and money is being used with Law
ish hand. 1t is reported on undoubted
authority, that within few days promi-
nent supporter of Grant Supposed to be
ex- Senator Abbott went to New York to
obtain money to be used in the canvass
that he obtained twenty-five thousand dol
lars, and boasted Of it in this city. During
the remaining month or more before the
election, speakers and money, without limit,
will be sent to the State to carry it for the
Grant party.
Disabled Veterans for Greeley.
One ofthe officers of the Southern Branch
of the National Asylum for Disabled Sol
diers, located at Hampton, Virginia, gives
it as singular fact, that out of more thar
three hundred of the old disabled volunteer
soldiers, who are in that asylum, there are
not to exceed half a dozen in favor o.
Grant, the rest being strongly for Greeley
and Brown. On the other hand, the same
officer reports that most of the bitter Reb
els in that neighborhood are opposed Il
Greeley, and speak of him in a savag
manner, but refuse to vote for Grant.
