 i BOSTON. October 27.-Attnrney Gen
 eral Devens, writing from Washing.
 ton excusing himself from active par
 ticIpatinn Tn the State campaign, says I learn with surprise and regret that
 many of the Republican officials hesi.
 tate either to speak or to vote, alleging
 as q reason the Presidents recent civil

 order states that the right of officials
 10 vote and express their views on pub
 llc questions, either orally or through
 ihe press, is not denied, provided II
 does not interfere with the discharge of their official duties. If such gen tlemcn choose not to vote, or 10 cx- press or enforce their views in support of the principles of the Republican
 party, either orally or otherwise, they al least should give a reason for such a course, which is not justified by the order received, and which is simply a perversion of its true meaning"
