convenient, meeting at St. Charles Hotel,
New Orleans, Monday morning. Your
prompt acceptance by telegraph is re-
quested."
This emergency appeals to your patri
otism. The undersigned are Informed
that you have come here at the request Of
the President of the United States, to see
that the Board of Canvassers make fair
count of the vote actually cast. " hIie III
the late canvass you gave your support to
Messrs. Hayes and Wheeler as candidates
for President and NicePresident, and
the undersigned gave their support to
Messrs. Tilden and Hendricks for those
offices, they feel assured that all good
citizens Of all parties regard an honest
count, and true return of votes actually
cast, of greater moment than the success +
Of any candidate for office, and are ready
to do all that honorable men should do TO
secure such return of the votes cast at the i
late election in the State of Louisiana, !
which assumes more than ever before
national Importance, and ON which in this .
crisis may depend the very existence
Of constitutional government.
The undersigned, therefore, i'll view
of the unhappy controversies which
have heretofore arisen from the action of
the returning board of the State, when /
It's action could not in any event change
the result OF Presidential election, and /
in view of the desire Of all good men
that effect should be given to the will of !
the majority as lawfully expressed, re-
specttully ask you or such of you as are /
present to meet and confer with them
personally, or through committees, as
may be deemed most wise, in order that /
such influences as we possess may be ex-
erted in behalf of such canvass of the
votes actually cast, as by its fairness and
impartiality it shall command the re-
spect and acquiescence Of the American
people of all parties.
Yours respectfully,
Signed,
