The Missouri Movements.

ST. LOUIS, Sept 2.-The Peoples Con-
vention, at Jefferson City, after peneeting
organization, nominated Wm. Gentry, of
Pettis county, for Governor, by acclama-
tion. and S. W. Headlee, of Greene county,
for Lieutenant-GoyernOr,a after which it
adjourned till tomorrow.
LATER-Before adjourning the conven-
tion adopted a series Of resolutions, of
which the most striking is as follows:
A long and painful experience has taught
us that the custom Of electing State and
local officers upon national issues, which
have nothing to do with State and local
affairs, has served 10 confuse the minds Of
the people, with regard TO the State and
local question to be decided by such cleo
tons, and has thus become one of the chief
causes Of the reckless partisanship and cor
ruptiOn in public affairs, and we be-
lieve it is time thai the people
should conduct their government in all ITS
branches upon strict business principles,
and should choose State officers with refer
ence to fitness for their respective duties
and questions OF State policy alone.

OMAHA, Sept. 2.-The Republican State
Convention met at Lincoln at ) p. n. to-
day. The organization was effected after
some trouble and amid much confusion.
The Committee on Credentials were out
over two hours and the convention ad-
jOurned. At 7:30 the report presented gave
much dissatisfaction, and it was with diff
Guilty accepted. The factions of the east
ern and western parts of the State are di-
vided against each other, and much bad
feeling exists.
Geo. II. Roberts addressed the eonven-
tiOn and took the position that the Repub-
lican party is the one of progress. A war
of races have commenced in the South.
When every man in the South, be he red,
black or white from the humblest dug out
in the land TO stately mansion on the sea
side shall be safe in his sentiments and
person, then and not till then has the Re
publican party performed its mission.

/. Resolved, That we reafiirm the prin-

such incidental protection as may foster
and encourage American industry.

or covert reputation, and declare that JUS
tice and the public faith alike demand that
the debt of the United States be paid in
accordance with the letter and spirit OF the
laws under which it was created, as declar-
ed in the act of Congress of March Is,
1869; and it is the duty of the national gov
ernment 10 adopt such measures as shall
gradually but certainly restore our paper
money to a specie standard without shock
TO the business interest of the country.
4. That when the currency shall have
been restored to a specie value, banking
should be made free.
5. That the cheap and prompt transpor-
tation of the products Of industry shall be
secured by the National and State govern
ernments, by appropriate legislation.
The sixth resolution compliments Con-
TeSs for repeating the salary grab, and try
ing to undo their mischief in the District Of
Columbia.
Z. That the recent outrages and murders
in the South, of which unOfending c0lOred
citizens have been the victims, committed
in pursuance of the avowed purpose Of
maintaining the exclusive white mans gov
ernment, demand, and hereby receive the
indignant condemnation of the Republicans
of Ohio.
s. That the restraint of intemperance
and its causes, to the full extent Of the
legislative, judicial and police powers of
the State, and the forfeiture of public trust
for intOxication, is demanded by the moral
and material welfare of society and the
State.

exist between the white and colOred people
Of this State. They declare emphatically
that there are no signs OF any danger Of
collision between them; that these reports
ard attempts are disastrous 70 the pros

appearance of trouble may have existed,
was due and directly traceable to cOlOred
men, acting on the advice and suggestion
of bad white men who for their own ends
are intent upon bringing about a rupture
between the races. They brand the state
ment that there is any danger of a rupture
As false, and ask the national authorities to
cause an investigation into the truth of the
statements of Patterson and others made at
Washington.

enough to give him a majority over
