The possibility and even probability that this is to be done will encourage Republican election officials and intimidate Democrats. It gives to the Republican party complete supervision over registration of voters. It gives special supervisors the same power over naturalization that was exercised by Davenport in New York in 1873. when he had one Moshen to swear out in packages three thousand warrants to terrorize and frighten voters from the polls. and it gives in citiesj ust as many supervisors at $5 a day as the Republican chiefsupervisor and marshal may decide on to make a housetohouse canvass and report as to the occupation. naturalization. age. and of course on the politics. venality. etc.. of the residents. A more ingenious scheme to aid the Republican party in carrying the Democratic cities of the North could not possibly be devised. The bill gives power to appoint any number of deputy marshals. ten thousand and even more in one city. provided only the marshal and the supervisor shall in conferences agree on them.
