Armstrong, Chairman of the Central Com

at the State capital AFTER twelve eventful
years.
He referred to the fact that the State
Central COmtitittee and legislative caucus
had recommended the DEMOCRACY Of the
country to abstain from making a Presi
dental nomination in 1872. Whether this
was wise or tinwise, this policy is generally
acquiesced in by leading members of the
party, and approved by the people with re-
markable unanimity. He referred TO the
executive interference Of President Grant
IN the affairs of this State in 1870, the
manner in which 1t was met by Gov Brown,
and how readily the Missouri Democracy
rushed to his standard and sustained him
by a majority unprecedented in the history
Of the State. This was the first living rip
pie on our dead sea OF political degradation
which had been witnessed for FIVE years,
and it was enlarged and extended until now
