While Governor Bickett does not believe the cxmeption boards in the Aaiious counties would otherwise than discharge their duty fearlessly and with impartiality, he has been in receipt of several letters in which fear has been expressed lest the boards in his attempts on Halicz from the north, from which side last summer's campaign proved it almost impreg nable, planned the southern drive along the road to Dolina so brilliantly executed by General Korniloff. This appeared to be the line of least re sistance ,and Halicz was easily taken from the rear.

"I deem it proper, however, to call your attention to the apprehension re flected in these letters and to beg you to hold your sacred office so high above personal or partisan considera tion that when the work is done your enemies will be forced to concede that in every case you acted with the fear of God and the love of your country before your eyes.
