the Nav York Demooratic Frauds

\
we're engaged in the most stupsndou
eorra ptiea and fraud Of which there i
any record. The South Carolina tissH
ballot scheme pales into utter insignia
canoe when com pared with 1t. Durinj
that year 60, 900 illegal naturalization
papers were issued BY Democratic court
of New York city. The proof of thee,
frauds does not exist in the oral testi
mony Of Davenport alone, but to thu
Igrea surprise and CONSERVATION o
Senators Wallace and Mcdonald the
Democratic members Of the Committee
he produces the fraudulen. certificates
themselves by the thousands, all Of
which were fraudalently issued by the
courts. On Tuesday he cornered Judge
Joa, s, one Of the Judges who assisted
in the fraud, and although the Judge
persisted in telling the committee that
if any were issued wrong before him ii
was simply an error. Davenport pro
ducsd too many such errors, showing
not only that the Judge had been cor
rupt upon the bench in 1868, but that
he had never repented and lied before
the committee. The proofs made before
the committee establish every charge
here .ofore made by Commissioner Da,
export against Democratic manage
ment in the city Of New York, and
reveal a premeditated scourdrelism
that has no parallel ia fraud. These
fraud we're perpetrated and the gain
occurred to the Democratic party at that
time. By them John T. Hoffman was
made Governor OF New York, ard
Horatio Seymour gained the electoral
Vo.e of that State for the Presidency,
but happily the votes of the other
States were sufficient to secure Re-
publican victory without the electoral
'ote Of New York. In the face OF these
nonstrous frauds which have been
,rought to light by Commissioner
davenport, what do we find the Demo-
rats trying to dot Trying to do
verythiog in their power to have
davenport removed from Office and in
his dastardly attempt no Democratic
enator has been more active than Sen,
tor Bayard. Because Davenport has
exposed the rascally plan by which
u, 600 aliens were granted fraudulent
naturalization papers and because he
resented 10000 Of these men from
citing he is bounded down by Bayard,
Wallace, Mcdonald and the whole Dem
cratic party. To allew these $4,000
votes to be polled in New
ork, the Democrats demand the 1
epesl Of the Federal election laws. ;
Because Commissioner Davenport has
lade his exposure to the everlasting ,
name and disgrace Of the Democratic d
arty, Mr.. Bayard denounces him as D
rant, corrupt soheming politician, I
nd demands Lis removal from Office.
