Continuing , Mr. Blue lnnmd read eaveral lot-

from Inmates of tine Leavcimuvorthi home , wino ,
if their name3 were known , would be driven
to tine road by Governor Smith. lie read a
telegram from lii. J , Anderson and others
urging him to flihmt General Franklin's re-
appolntmneimt , and tehi'uig , him that 60,000
soldiers in Kansas wore beh'mid hinm. Another -
other letter , read by him , said that the
writer had enough evidence to lmammg Smith ,
Ma Blue concitmded mis array of testimony
by reading an affidavit from an inmate of the
Leavenworth homne , charging Governor Smith
with drunkenness , crueity and great favorite
