Most of the charges on that head come from partisan sources. and are untrue. The attempt of John I. Davenport to prevent the use of fraudulent naturalization papers ought to be commended. and not denouneed. No political party can uphold the forgeries and frauds in the matter of naturalizations committed in the city of New York in the year 1868. Naturalization papers were issued by the wholesale by corrupt courts and officials. and peddled about the city. The attempt on -he part of Davenport to suppress those papers was in the interest of good morals and good order. No honest man can advocate the use of forged naturalization papers at the polls. John I. Davenport would not be feared if he was a lawbreaker.
