The following explanation of Attorney
General Devens regarding the statement that
he has practically decided that he will not
authorize the appointment of special election
deputies in the South at the next election,
except perhaps in Virginia has been furnished
for publication: The special election deputies
are appointed by marshals in their respective
districts, upon requisition of citizens in those
distcicts., They are not appointed by the at
torney general nor any authority from him.
When no provision has been made for pay
ment of these deputies, it is expected by the
attorney general, should application be made
to marshals under circumstances stated in
the statutes, that they win do their utmost to
enforce the election laws. he deems the
claim of such deputies to be hereafter paid
for their services clearly recognized by the
statutes. -fs... - RI .2r. -F ,r r r,{ kr,,|
