lNfncty.nfne Voters put Through
she Assessment lIiil at View Castle
! Yesterday - ssiIa moro an WRlf.
fng.
There was larger crowd at New Cas-
tie TO get assessed by the Levy Court
than on any other day since the March
term commenced. There we're but Q few
present In the morning from Wilming-
ton. But Brandy Christiana, st.
Georges and Appoquinimink seemed to
have combined to swell the number
In waiting considerably over q hun
dEed. As fast as ene would get assessed
and passed out another was always
ready to take his place and after
iplaoing the names Of ninesy-nine per.
sons upon the lists there were still a.
many in waiting when the court ad-
journed In the evening as there we're
at any time during the day. II is
reasonably supposed that at least one
HUNDRED persons had to 60 away with
out succeeding In getting their names
en- the lists. Several things were mo-
tiesable during the day.
There were present three Republi-
cans TO one Democrat 10 get assessed,
and yet the Democrats all got assessed,
and only Republicans failed. Amongst
the most indsfstigable workers on the
Democratic side were Squire Wilson
from Townsend, and Collector Carpen-
ter from Wilmington. 1t was reported al
New Castle that the Squire got up In
such hurry yesterday morning to
bring his men mp to get assessed, that
in his haste he put his under garments
on wrong side out and wrong end up,
and had not his amiable spouse seen his
|predicament he might have appeared
at the seat of justice in that condition.
Bat thanks for . watchful wife he
|got rightsd, and came up. in proper
trim. The wife however who is said
to be as good Democrat as the Squire
was just little fearful that II he kept
on turning things around 30, he might |
turn to be black Republican. There
was however no cause for fear on the |
part Of the good lady on that score, the |
Squire working loyalty and faithfully |
in the Democratic harness all day. Rs
tsblishing his head quarters on q chair
beside the President he had q fair view |
of the large crowd before him, and as
the Democrats came in from the sur. |
rounding Hundreds, the Squire vas
on hand TO step aside to the judges
room TO administer the oft repeated OBJ
legation to Mr.. Carpenter who seemed to
know everybody and was always ready
TO be Q voucher. With this little Demo-
cratic mill established in the oolrt all
the Democrats who applied to be as
sesssd were all put through in hurry
while many Republicans who had been
In waiting for days were compelled to
20 away without getting assessed.
There was very little interruption To
the assessments today, and the mill
freshly oiled started OF glibly, Msssrs.
Weir, Wells, Polk, Silver, and Lodge
all vising with each ether in getting
the door. 1t was soon noticed as the
assessments progressed, however, that
II was much easier for member with
Q Democratic voucher in his haad TO
obtain the floor than for one who had o
voHcher. The active mem
bers Of the Court during tAe day took ,
position behind the clerks desk, 80 that
when they arose 10 make motion their
backs were to the President, giving that
,fioer an excellent opportunity to see
by the border around the Democratic a.
Sdavits To whom he should assign the
loor. The President was so intensely |,
Interested in the presass Of assessingl
hat he kept list Of all the names a
placed upon the lists and when the
,ourt adjourned he was able TO report
hat A Democrats and IS Republicans ,
,ad been assessed during the day. Mr..
Carpenter also kept q tally and made a !
similar report, and these both agree
Eith the tally kept by yeur correspond d
mt. and there 10 strong presump.iye
proof that IL is correct. Tomorrow
will no doubt be an exciting day here,
hat being the last day upon which as
easements can be made. 1t is expected a
hat large numbers Of Democrats will
% run in and by the aid Of the little Il
mill established by Squire Wilson and
collector Carpenter, their names as q
ong as they will last will, be put upon :,
he lists TO the exclusion Of Republi- q
ans.
