EXECUTIVE MANSION, WASHINGTON, JWM 22, 1877. 

 SIR : I desire to call your attention to the follow- 

 ing paragraph in a letter addressed by me to the 

 Secretary of the Treasury on the conduct to be ob- 

 served by officers of the General Government in re- 

 lation to the elections : " No officer shall be required 



or permitted to take part in the management of po- 

 litical organizations, caucuses, conventions, or elec- 

 tion campaigns. Their right to vote and to express 

 their views on public questions, either orally or 

 through the press, is not denied, provided it does 

 not interfere with the discharge of their official duties.
