legged frauds in the late Presidential election,
in letter to a friend in New York, says the
Presidents title to the Presidency rests upon

one submitting to that determination. "If
now it should appear that there was fraud,
which probably affected the Electoral vote,
and which the Commission did not notice,
and If legal remedy exists for cor
recting the error, you cannot believe that such
proceeding under the law would lead to a
disturbance. 1t is exactly because
this is not Mexico and because the ncOnlo
prefer determining questions by legal meth
DDS, and, if legal methods have not been pro-
vided, to invent legal methods Of determining
them, and to submit to the determination thus
arrived at, that the country cannot be Mexican
lied. Having accepted the Electoral Com
mission, of course we were bound to submit
to its results, but We ought at least to be al
lowed to show, If such was the fact, that the
returns upon which the Commission passed
were procured by fraud" He says he does not
believe there is any danger of civil wal
growing out of the investigation.
