DA VIEWPOINTS AGENTS.


The secret service money which
President Grant lawlessly seized and
handed over TO Davenport is loudly as
serted by the organs OF the administra.
ton to have been expended in the dis.
covcry and punishment of frauds on
the ballot. Davenport swore before
the committee that he used the largest
portion of the money in paying agents
TO detect repcaters and ballot suffers
in New York. On becoming chief
supervisor of elections in that city
Davenport appointed large number
Of assistant supervisors and marshals
to aid him in protecting the purity OF
the ballot box and promoting the elec.
ton of Grant. The World publishes a
list of these protectors of the elective
franchise, which we copy herewith -
