Missouri radical ticket triumph reshapes state politics
The election of two radical U S Senators from Missouri signals a major shift toward emancipation and union. B Gratz Brown wins the short term, aided by his abolitionist stance, while Henderson secures the long term seat amid a wave of progressive sentiment. Soldiers largely back radicals, aiding the outcome despite a conservative home vote. Leslie Combs accuses Gen Carl Schurz of cowardice. Schurz counters with a sharp public challenge blaming the Kentucky politician for a prior slander.

Seward and others speak on preserving the Union and democratic governance. A roster of Union generals who died or were killed in the war is listed, followed by a note on Broadway improvements and Helmbold’s new Philadelphia-backed drug store in New York.
