Ratification Meeting FIN Sc. Louis.
ST. Louis, May 1.-the canvass opened
in this city tonight with quite large meet
ing in the Courthouse, to ratify the nomi-
nations of Greeley and Brown. Enos
Clarke, formerly a prominent Republican,
presided. The crowd seemed to be COM
posed about equally of Liberal Democrats
and Republicans.
The burden of the speeches of the Lib
erals was that the Cincinnati Convention
was spontaneous expression of the people;
eulogy of Greeley and Brown; opposition
to Grant and desire to inaugurate pure
government, universal amnesty and estab-
fish peace and prosperity throughout the
whole country.
The Democratic speakers declared them
selves heartily in favor of the Cincinnati
nominee, subject to the action of the Dem
ocratic Convention, and pledged their ut
most influence to prevent nomination by
the Baltimore Convention, and said
they were not going to be governed
by Mr.. Belmont, an agent of the
bondholders and representative of fore ign
capital. They believed the passive policy
their only hope for overthrowing the cor
ruption, military rule,an centralizing tend
ency of the present administration.
Mr.. Coleman said he had just returned
from an extended tour through the interior
of the State, and found almost everybody
in favor of Greeley and Brown. He be-
ieVed they would receive one hundred
thousand majority in Missouri.
There was but little enthusiasm, and
notable absence of Germans.
