PADDED ASSESSMENT LISTS.
From Democratic sources is given {
plansthle explanation OF the anxiety o
senator HiPgin5' Republican committee L
soeure, through tho aid OF the court, tbs
power TO comnei the tax collectors to homo
their powers OF attorney for the payrpen
OF poll tsyss. The county a3ses3mnn
books OF Wilmington hundred contain tht
rHmes OF over s, 600 negI o gables, which, a
the generally accepted ratio of one voter z
each Eve persons, would indicate n toya
colcred population In this city of at lan7
$4,000. According TO the censtis OF 1885,
the colored popuiation OF Wilmington va
but 5;46S. Il is argued that an In
crease OF so per cent to date woul
) be most liberal alioHAnce, which woul
bring the present total to 5000, tndicstin
q total colored vote OF 1850. The correct
neRs ue this estimate Ia borne out, 1t is cor
tended, by The fact that at the general elAc
ton OF 1891, when tie coorad vote in TN
city was D He'd TO ab2u5 its full extent,
reuchei II total OF about 1890, With th
Right TO Obtain, through powers OF attorna
tux receips for all cf the S,OJu na'nes {
! eolored men on tho books, Democrats cor
tend that the Republicans would have n
!. 6iffiellty In making euoh receipt count fo
one vote, and thus be enabled 70 poll ahou
1,41O fraudulent votes IN the city OF WI
tnington alone st the nexf election. Tn
Is one reason why the Democratic Lender
viii Strenuop5ly resist this effort Of the lt'
i publican workers to have tax reeeiP
issued to them on powers OF attorney
wholesale Quantities.
