The Missouri Democracy.
ST.. LOUIS, June 12.-In the afternoon
session of the State Convention, Hon. VIM.
o. Hall was elected permanent chairman,
with vice president from each Congress
ional district. Hall made brief speech, IN
which he commented on the peace admin
istration of Gen. Grant. The devastation
of Georgia and South Carolina, under this
administration, he said, was only equalled
by the desolation of the valley of Virginia
under Sheridan; and he asked the question
if the Democratic party can in its usual
course of action correct these evils and
wrongs against the South? If we can not
can we and are we willing
to aid others in doing so? [Applause and
yes Gentlemen, the Democracy Of Mis-
souri, have answered that they will. The
Liberal Republicans have presented the
81 e.. DpociAant anH NiN0 Prne-
ident whose history is Objectionable and
obnoxious to us. Can we trust them?
Greeley has been heated partisan, but he
is a true man. Gov. Brown has never VIC
lated faith with the Democratic party, and
could be relied upon. He thought that
patriotic duty to the country would dictate
their Endorsement. The speech received
applause.
Geo. G. Vest, of Sedalia; VIM. Hyde, Of
the Missouri Republican, and James 0.
Broadhead, of st. Louis, were elected dele
gates at large to the Baltimore Convention,
with full complement from the Congress
ional districts.
The committee on resolutions reported Q
long preamble, setting forth that by tia
patriotism and sense of justice of the Lib
eral Republicans, aided by the Democrats,
Missouri has been redeemed from the ty-
ranny and oppression of the Radical minor
ity, and stating that the Liberals stand
ready to do the same thing for the country
at lsrge.s They have already placed ticket
in the field to the support of which the
Liberal Republicans and Democratic party
are already committed; and further stating
that it would not only be unwise, but
wicked trifing with the dearest interests of
the people, should the Democracy place an
other ticket in the field and thus insure the
reelection of Grant, the continued Oppres-
sion and plumber of the people, and the de-
struction of liberty and constitutional gov
eminent throughout the land; therefore,
Resolved, That the delegates appointed to
the convention to be held in July are in
structed to vote as a unit against the NOM
inatiOn of any candidate for President or
Vice President at the approaching election.
The resolution was adopted with round
after round of applause. Speeches were
made by several gentlemen, after which the
convention adjourned.
A meeting was held tonight at which
several speeches were made, and much en-
thusiasm was manifested.
Illinois Democratic Editors.
PEORIA, ILL, June 12.-Some twenty
five or thirty editors of the State held a
convention in this city to-day, and unani-
mously passed the following resolutions:
Resolved, That we, as Democratic edit
ors of the State of Illinois, repose full faith
in the cardinal principles of the National
Democratic party: that on them depends
the restoration of the administration of our
Government and the continuance of Anne
rican liberty; that now above all times its
organization should be maintained,
nationally and locally; that we haue full
faith in its incorTuptibility as an
organization; that its course in
this important juncture of American poll
tics should be guided by honesty and
patriotism. We therefore pledge ourselves,
and the respective papers we may control,
to support the action Of the Baltimore Con-
yention, and to use our utmost efforts to
carry the party unitedly for its nominees.
Resolved further, That, in the opinion of
this convention, the nomination of a third
ticket at Baltimore will not enhance the
interest of the Democratic party; and
should the Cincinnati nomination be in
dorsed at Baltimore, we pledge them our
earnest support.
