y 'sns Nj Ina conclusion that the issues 0t
M s rampaipn are going to turn upon
SSr OOnduct of the affairs of this State
h. ,be last twenty.six years. and
p,rscislly during the past ten years.
Tbsv may attempt to make 1t turn
rnou ctber issues but already the char
sstor Of their utterances shows that
ihfv are called on TO account for their
s,nstsesbip that they are compelled to
.rswsr the indictment that has been
1nseutsd against them, and that now,
4 tbs closing hours of this canvass the
pscUIs sitting in solemn Judgment on
INN acts, and exercising the highest
iunctions and duties of free men are
ooipV to vote according to the deserts Of
tbe Democratic party.
You did not hear from their speakers
duriDg the last campaign anything
,bout the assessment laws or tramp
lIuV down the suffrages of the people OF
NM State. 1t is now, when ! n their
despair they are forced to admit that
hsy are in favor of increased repreSen
ptOD, It would not make any differ
gpcs il every man in New Castle coun
u voted in favor of increased represen
station, If the people of Kent and Sus'
NJ, with 10000 less votes gave a ma
itg Of one against it. We did moi
snOT until recently who it was that ad-
Esi these iDiQuitous assessment laws
Eedid not know that James Ponder
some time Governor of this State, had
assumed the responsibility of them
We know that q Democratic Legisla'
ture enacted them. We know that il
1881 when the gallant band,of Repub-
liCan representatives from New Castle
county presented a bill repeating the
obnoxious features of these laws there
was found but one Democrat who was
brave and honest enough to fight for 1t,
and that 1t sscOntemptuously throwI
beneath their table. We did not know
until recently, who it was that origina
Jed the miserable tax laws, but now W.
know they were drafted by the leader o
the Democratic party in this State, tht
man who endeavoured to become Pres
ident OF a nation of freemen aud VI
have now come to a point Of condemn
ing Of these laws if they are wrong
and their justification If they are right
Mr., Higgins read from q newspape
Glip, extracts from Senator Bayard's
speech at Newark last Saturday night
and said that Mr.. Bayard was mistaken
ID saying that he, the speaker, had at
tempted to indict the Levy Court, fol
% did lndict IL, or at least the GRAM
Jury did, and not only the Court, bu
also two Of the collectors, one of whom
was tried aud convicted. The speaker
eald that he was the United State
Attorney that brought these cases il
@s United States Court, and with hi
colleague Mr.. SpruaDce prosecuted on
y Them, that of Mr.. Given, to a success
Ial conviction.
MI, Baysrd had also said the reason
We law was changed. was, that To
Iu law held tire collector responsible
" me taxes, but he begged Mr.. Bay
HU pardon but that was not SO.
Under the present law if a man doe
" pay his taxes he is dropped from

aaS not dropped, unless he was deaf
