Members of the Legislature wore fraudulently seated. The election was a barbarous burlesque. Many thousand forged naturalization papers were issued. some of them wore white and some were coffeecolored. The same witnesses purported to attest hundreds and thousands of naturalization affidavits. and the stu sru he whole thing was and is an open secret. Some of these naturalization papers were sent to other States. So plenty were they. that some of them were sent to Germany. and Germans who had never leI their country claimed exemption eom othe German draft for soldiers in the FrancePrussian war. because they were naturalized American citizens! The holders of these papers voted by thousands. and I have beard it said in ths d e tat Judge Blatchford has decided that these papers are legal. Never.
