MrssoURI.-At the State Election last August
the total vote for Governor officially stood:
Polk tAnti-Benton Dem
Ewing american. ............4l,0 6
Benton. .....................N ,576-S365
Joint majority over Polk..........22,&

Benton. 81, 576-S5S7
Joint majority over Polk..........224u
1t is not to be supposed that all Col Benton,
vote will now go for Rollins, but it Is highly proS&
bic that half of it may. Col b. has himself d.
cared for Rollins, following in tho wake Of most Of
his old supporters. Stewart and Rollins are both
canvassing vigorously, and large vote may be an.
ticipated, though we think not so large a that Of
last year. We Judge, however, that it viii exceed
100000. 1t is significant fact that the German
journals supporting Stewart emphaticaly deny tia.
he is committed against Emancipation. Says ono
of these, the st. Louis Daily Chronicle:
"His quite certain that Mr.. Stewart rM not 90.

1t is not difficult to controvert the charge of our

1t is thus that great issues are skulked or b.
logged by those who fear to meet them.

On Monday, he addressed the cit

The commencement OF his remarks were
similar in character to that delivered
at Topeka, but supposing he was in

he made a desperate onset upon the
Topeka Legislature, denouncing it as
