CHOICE OF TOWN OFFICERS

The dem rrs:s have exhausted All tbo;.
ingenuity in lying and deception in endesr
curing to make the people believe that "A.
law passed last June session, regulating n.
Ichoice Of town officers, was an infrlngs
ment of their rights. 1t has been asser'sI
in the Argus and papers Of that descriptisa
that II would require 100 dollars " orl,lE,
voter in town affairs. This Is false NJ.
new law required no other pecuniarv ousE.
fcations than the old one, which are th,r
voter shall ray poll tax and two third. NJ
a poll tax, or tax OF any property 10 ths,
amount. And the oRly bearing and oDer,.
tion the law Of June last would have had
provided it had gone into effect, would
have been 10 make town officers conform
to the old law, and prevent fraud and i'm.
p-oper conduct in electing them. Those
who doubt this statement, car easily exam.
me and If they can read and understand
plain English, they well be convinced.
But this law. which was TO PROSTATE N.
liberties of the citizens. if democratic IA.
pers are to be believed, is repealed. DouNs
were entertained that clause oe the law
might admit Of construction which would
warrant person in voting in more than one
town. provided he paid taxes in each town.
Further, some towns represented that suF.
fcient time was not allowed to comply with
The provisions Of the law; these motives
have induced repeal.
