Supervisors OF Election,

can County Committee; ex-District Attor-
ney Dyer and several other prominent citi
zens was sent to Judge Dillon, United States
Judge of this Circuit, asking that Super.
visors of Election be appointed under the
United States statute for the Eastern Dis.
trict of Missouri. Yesterday the petition
was received by Judge Treat with instruc-
tians from Judge Dillon to make the ap-
pointments asked by the petitioners. Judge
Treat called into court number Of mem
bers Of the bar, among them several signers
of the petition, with the view of hearing
suggestions from them. General Hender-
son said he was convinced the elective fran
chise here was a. the mercy of ballot-bo

supervisor from each party, he favored it
as means of protecting the will of the
people against lawlessness. He was salts

The Release or stokes.
TFrom the New York World,

There was much talk in the city yesterday
in regard to the approaching release Of
Stokes. At the Erie depot particularly the
subject was canvassed, and especially by the
old employees, who formerly worked under
Fisk. The general sentiment seemed to be
one Of displeasure at the prospect Of Stokes
being again at large but when the question
was asked whether he would probably be
lnolested, the reply was, "No, nobody wants
20 swing for Stokes" The feeling against
Fisk's slayer seemed to be intensified by the
reports that he had made money on Wall
street by speculatious during imprisonment,
and by the reported profits Of his oil factory,
which Fisk gave to him and Harry Harley.
In regard to the first Of these points, the
reports of Stokes Wall street speculations
are generally discredited. As to the oil
factory, it has been run by Stokes uncle
during Stokes imprisonment, and at such
profit that it has helped to amass for him .
considerable fortune.

The JOlnt Can vass in North Carolina
From the Phila. Times.1

From the Phlla Times.
The experiment of joint discussion has
been more successful in North Carolina
than in the dominion of Governor Cham
berlain. Messrs. Vance and Settle, the op-
posing candidates for Governor of the Old
North State, have just finished an exciting
canvass Of two months duration, in the
course of which they have appeared many
times on the same stump and abused each
other, in q Pickwickian sense, to their
hearts content. On Saturday they had the
last of fifty light meetings, and at the close
indulged in mutual congratulations on the
fairness and courtesy which had character
lied The canvass. Here is an example for
Governor Chamberlain's consideration.
Partisan spirit is high in both the Caro-
linas, and there Is no reason why Cham
berlain and Hampton should not meet as
amicsbly as Settle and Vance and have
audiences as decorous. But Chamberlain
prefers to meet proclamations and to have
an escort of troops rather than an audience
of unarmed citizens. Such tactics may
elect man in defiance of the calm judg-
ment of people, but on the whole the
North Carolina plan is more likely to COM
mand the approval and good will of the
country.
