". Z. sherman, Washington, d. C.:--In.
strnct Gen. Anger in Louisiana and Gen.
Ruger in Florida to be vigilant with the
forces at their command to preserve peace
and good order, aud to see that the prop.
molested in the performance of their du-
ties. Should there be any grounds of
suspicion of a fraudulent count on either
side, 1t should be reported and denounced
at once. No man worthy OF the office OF
President should be willing to hold it il
Either party can afford to be disappOint-
ed in the result; the country can not af-
ford to have the result tainted by suspi-
cion of illegal or false returns.
