The Young Mems Republican Club,
Friday night, adopted the following pre-
amble and resolution:
WHEREAS, In the opinion Of the Young
Mems Republican Club, the time has come
when certain changes should be made In
the government OF New Castle county and
WHEREAS, These certain changes" have
become an imperative necessity for many
reasons, the chief ones being as follows:
The tax assessment and collection laws Of
1878. conceived In iniquity and enacted by
intriguing politicians for selfish partisan
purposes, have deprived citizens OF the
precious fright" to vote; and have been
the direct means OF increasing the burden
OF taxation; the county tax collectors by
the operation OF these laws have been
vested with powers which have been
used with utter disregard for the constltu-
tional rights of citizens; the laws OF our
State are 30 framed that the highest court
OF Justice is unable to afford relief to cisi-
gems thus disfranchised; the system Of
county government Is corrupt, inefficient
and burdensome to taxpayers; the levy
cou has long since become cumbersome
AID extravaganza partisan machine; the
county officers receive salaries out OF
all proportion TO the duties they
perform; the sheriff derives an inde-
pendent fortune from the allowa ces
for the meals OF prisoners, and ths
taxpayers are compelled TO foot the bills =,

bussex county levy court has revealed q
