citizens are greatly excited
over the conduct OF tie Officers and men OF
the Republican torchlight procession on
Thursday night, I was absent from
the city at the time, and ] knew
nothing personally OF what did occur; but
certain it Is that intense feeling has been ex-
cited throughout the community, and I feel
called upon TO counsel yOu 20 preserve that
peace and moderation which has hitherto
characterized your conduct, in professions as
well as out Of them. Preserve your manhood
and the dignity Of your organization, under
Whatever circumstances NAV arise, remem-
oering always TO preserve and respect the Law.
" GEO. F. HOW ARD, Commanding"
The excitement Is great. ana the Indignation
OF the citizens OF Jacksonville, Of both par
les, is almost without bound. Their wives
ana daughters have been inSulted and mis-
reated and themselves beaten, and there is l
no telling what may come Of IL yet.
