An Appeal TO the Republican Party
OF Missouri.

ST. Louis, Sept. 11.-HCnry T. Blow,
Chairman and N. NJ. Harris, Secretary
oil the Republican State Central Commit.
tee, in on address 10 the Republicans OF
the State, urge them in the election OF
delegates to the State Convention, 10 DO
held September 23d, to reatllrm the priu-
ciples OF the party and perpetuRte It's in
nlence by discipline and organized effort.
They then assert that the Democracy OF
the nation is in open and avowed antag.
onism to the principles established by the
Republican party, and which it was
hoped would be the basis for the restors.
tion and perpetuation Of the Union.
The Democratic organs, they say, do
not conCede the fact that war OF races
is inevitable, and in the independent con.
tlict the White League, aided by the
Democratic party Of the country, will re.
assert the claims of the past, and in the
South to-day the invitation TO shake hands
across the bloody chasm has been
changed 10 o determination 10 make a
bloodier and deeper chasn filled with
the victims Of fiendish war OF the
strong against the weak. Tho two
most solemn obligations no! only of
the Republican party, but oil tho nation,
are set at naught-tho one by threatened
reputation and tho other by murderous
outlawry: They then make several
specific charges against the Democratic
party, recite what the Republicans ought
TO do and urge them 10 maintain in tho
Convention the honor and dignity oil the
great national party, firmly stand by its
glorious principles and defy all enemies
inside or outside OF the party to dislodge
them from the mooriDgs OF their perfect
faith. ....,....

Exposition Regents.

CINCINNATI, Sept 1.-THE receipts for
admissions TO the Exposition ($l5 O0O) for
the nine days just closing far exceed those
for the same period last year, and nearly
equal those OF two years ago. Over one
thousand exhibitors, counting no exhibi-
tion twice, have been registered.
A meeting of the Executive Board OF
the National Exposition and the auxiliary
centennial Boards OF Ohio and Indiana
will be held here on the aJth or this
month. the display has cost the exhibi.
tors in putting up and maintaining. not
less than $300000. All parts Of the Uni.
ted, States are represented by them very
largely, but mostly go in the machinery
and iron departments. Power Hall is 80
denscly crowded that the printing depart.
ment has been placed In another hall.
Over $l5, 900 in cash and medals at actual
cost will be spent in premiums. The dis.
plays of cut flowers are made on Tuesday
and Friday OF each week, The most un.
bounded enthusiasm is shared 10 by the
citizens, visitors and exhibitors. In va
riety, quantity, and pre.eminenty in good
taste, brilllancy of display and vigor oi
classification, this exposition stands far
ahead oil all its predecessors.

The Register ON Mr.. wiley.

1t occurs 10 US that the Register is un-
commonly hard up for something TO say
to the disparagemcnt of Mr.. WILLEY's
candidacy for Congress in the Second
District, when it seeks to arouse the pref.
udIces Of Catholics by referring 10 the
journal Of the Constitutional Convention
to show that Mr.. WILEY offered q reso.
luton providing that no appropriation or
donation Of public money or property
shall ever be allowed for the benefit ol
any establishment ito be controlled by or
used for any church, religious denomina.
ton, or any sectarian purpose VIII atever." p"
This resolution, the Register says, twas
prompted by the efforts which were be.
ing made by the Roman Catholics TO OBJ.
tain their part Of the public funds for the
purpose Of establishing their own free
schools" The inference from this remark
ol the Register is that it considers such a
resolution very reprchensible, and Mr.:
WILEY as bigot Tor offering 1t.
Are we to understand that paper as
taking position in favor Of division oi
the school fund? This Is a question that
does not belong to this campaign, but we
have no objection to see 1t introduced II
the Register IS desirous Of declaring war
upon the public school fund. The people
Of this State are ready to meet that issue
any time, and they will stand by Mr.
W1LLEY's position in the Constitutional
Convention. Its more important issue
than electing any man TO Congress. Il
therefore the Register thinks the time has
come to raise the issue let it proclaim Mr.
WILLEY's position in the Constitutional
Convention toSbe q test question in this
canvass. a...rl-'

General Cons Nomination.

The Ritchie Gazette, in speaking of
General GoFF's nomination for Congress
from this District, makes the following
observations
General COTS merit and suitableness
are advanced by the fact that he in no
wise sought this nomination. 1t has been
given to him without his making sign
that he wanted It or lifting his hand 10
obtain 1t. The office Is seeking the man,
and not the man the office.
OF General Colts standing and ability
II Is scarcely necessary TO speak, He Is
known through ghout tkelength and breadth
Of the District. he Is q gentleman against
whose moral character not one word has
ever been said, and, as We believe, NOT
single utterance can be given against his
fair name. he has ably. filled the. office
which he now holds, that ol U.S. District
Attorney, And he Is q speaker Of more
than ordinary power"
