509 The vote for governor given by W. H. Brown, “Early Movement in
Illinois for the Legalization of Slavery,” (“Fergus Hist. Ser.,” No.
4, p. 15), differs from that by Washburne, “Sketch of Edward Coles,”
58, and Bonham, “Fifty Years Recollections,” 22, while neither gives
Coles a plurality of 46 votes, as Harris in “Negro Servitude in
Ill.,” 31, says the official returns show him to have received. For
the purposes of this work the differences are so slight as to be
negligible.
