Ever since the election the Repubi cans
have INDUCED in an immense amount OF
claptrap about the frauds in New Y FORK
city, and now John |. Davenport, the Re
publican supervisor Of elections for that
city, has appeared before the house inves-
tigating committee and denied under oath
that the charges of fraud are true. He
said
THE late election was the fairest
held for years in this city. The vote was
not excessive. The reason why the Dem
ocratic majority in the city was so large
was because very many Republicans voted
the Democratic ticket.
The Brooklyn supervisor testified al
emphatically about the fairness Of the
election in that city, and so the whole

swindled the First National Bank OF
Chicago and the Union National bank OF
the same city out of $4,000 and s., 5Oo
respectively, by means of forged drafts
purporting to have been drawn by the
First National Bank of Milwaukee.
About four months ago Mr.. Jayne, who
has been rusticating in the northern part
of the State since his dismissal from the
government service, obtained clue I'M
plicating Sprague, Gesner and Weston IN
the Third National bank and Union Trust
company forgeries. He at
once communicated with the counsel OF
those two institutions, and was employed
by them to follow it up. Pinkerton's
agency had been, in the meantime, en-
gagged in following up the case, but ha
not struck on Jayne's clue. This, 1t is re-
ported on good authority, duplicates one
of the officials of the insurance company.
The names of Jayne's assistants, as
given in the Chicago dispatches, are not
recognized here.
The story of the capture and of the
method of the forged work has already
been fully given. The detectives, the
counsel for the swindled corporations, and
all other persons connected Win The
prosecution have used every means IN
their power to prevent communication
with their captives. They have gone IN and
out of private doors, have denied tnell
presence, and, when cornered, have natly
refused to impart information, on the
ground that to publish the facts would de
feat the ends of justice. This plea is ao'
surd on it's face, as, If such a thing were
possible, it would have been accomplished
four days ago. A more uncharltable view
of the case is to the effect that the arrest
ed forgers are rich men, and an effort il
being made to compromise the matter.
From the New York Herald.
The man Gesner is an old offender, ant
his arrest is considered of much import
ance. He is regarded as one of the mos
skillful and successful forgers in the coun-
try, and constant efforts have been mad
to secure his arrest.
