CLERK COCHRAN WANTS. AN APOLOGY.
Clerk Of the Pssee Cochran stated
that he and bis ASSISTANTS woald give
all the assistance possible In finding the
omitted names and placing them upsn
the Collectors duplicates. Shortly slt,r
tais he had an interview with report
or Of the REPUBLICAN,.
Bald toe Clerk, 81 think the Rapub
licans newspapers in Wilmington ought
10 apologize 10 the Levy Court and the
Clerk Of the Peace, for having said that
there are hundreds Of msD whS vera
assessed here in March, but who were
lsf! Of the Collectors duplicates pur.
posely."
"Whst makes you think 60 :" asked
the reporter.
"Why, I'll tell you. When It comes
down to fine points, even MIR. Harring-
ton admits that there were but 2l oniis-
sions in Wilmington Hlpdrsd-l0 in
the Northern District and II in the
Southern District, and that Of the 10 in
the uppor district 8 we're Democratic. +"
The Clerks allusion was to a remark
which Ar. Harrington had made in his
address, q few minutes previous, before
the Levy Court. What Mr.. II. did say
was simply this /,
"Ince the adjournment OF the last
session OF the Lsvy Court Mr.. Springer
has put on the list 10 men in the
Northern District Of the city Of VIII.
minRton, IL In the Southern District,
and IA in BrAndywine Hundred. Bat
this Is not all. We have In Brandyuine
Hundred alone 20 names that do not
yet appear upon the Collectors dupli.
Gates. We find them, however, upon
the record of the Levy Court and upon
the assessment lists"
This was all Mr.. Harrington said
about the matter At that time he said
nothing about the Fl names being all
that we're omitted in Wilmington. At
another point in his address he said
that Of the 10 names put On by the late
Clerk OF the Peace In the Northern Dis-
tYIot s were Democrats.
