Davenport whose fingers were placed
around the throats of its citizens.
This man Davenport had appointed
900 i. 5 marshals to arrest voters
at the polls, and they were robbed of
their papers and their votes. He ap-

New York in the hands of Davenport.

the gentleman from New York Mr..
Cummings grew red in the face like
most democrats when the name of Da-
venport was mentioned.
" hen the democrats secured both
branches of the government and the
Presidency they might accomplish his
overthrow. He was glad he represent
ted a country district. He was
amazed to see gentlemen arraign
Davenport. Why did not the demo
cratic party try him before jury of
his peers if these charges against him
were true? This endeed the political
melee. After cries of "vote, vote"
and several moments consumed in an
endeavor by the chair to obtain order
the amendment of Mr.. Cummings and
