Liberal Republican Convention at Jefferson City Missouri
The Beaver Argus reports a furiously partisan clash in Titusville over US Attorney Swoope, now settled. A Liberal Republican State Convention met in Jefferson City, Missouri, in the House hall, amid speeches by Governor Brown and allies. Resolutions on amnesty and civil service reform passed, including plans for a National Reform Republican Convention in Cincinnati. Reports say Louisiana factions halted bloodshed as Governor Warmoth’s forces restrained the opposition. The Indianapolis Journal favors Grant renomination and cautions party dissenters. House reforms curb public printing, with estimates required for each department and a higher standard of accountability. A critic titled A Veteran dismisses civil service reform, while New York Standard notes Bismarck may shift to German diplomactic language, avoiding French, a change provoking debate over its political signaling.
