At 1880 O'Clock Levy Court adjourned
| TO p. m.
Just now and for the remainder of
the month Levy Court will devote its
attention to the congenial business of
adding names to the assessment lists.
Naturally Wilmington hundred will
get most Of the attention and the party
of the majority most of the favors.
| The machine ground out voters 10
the total of So Tuesday. The majority
of these were colorcd men. To see the
way it was done on Tuesday was a
spectacle well worth the attention Of citi-
zens having an interest in the franchise
affairs of the metropolis of Delaware.
The work goes merrily on without let
or hindrance. 1t is probable before the
month of March is out there will DO
several thousands of names added
illegally" to the assessment lists of this
hundred.
Following Mondays precedents and
rulings as to what names may be added
to the lists the criticism was made yes
terday by spectacle of the proceedings
that he found it hag to entertain any
respect for the results Of what was being
accomplished.
The story was banded openly around
the Levy Court room Tuesday In regard
to prominent Republican worker that
| his party proposes increasing the already
swollen lists by at least 5000 or 1900
names. He is stated TO have made this
Drag openly in the Levy Court commit
tee room.
To dispassionate observer the whole
business in its present status of adding
names by giant strides and in full view
Of the existing unexplained plethoric
lists seems closely bordering on the
farcical. This is simply undeniable.
1t may be proved by visit to the Levy
Courtroom, and glance at the humor-
GUS expression on the faces of the spec
tators.
A Republican levy courtman, in the
presence of the writer, admitted Tues.
day, that in the present status of the
assessment list the population of Will
mington would be 5000. However OIL
whichever way he intended his rehec.
ton TO touch, IL was sufficient to define
tho feeling that exists in the minds Of
the levy courtmen to-day in regard tc
this wonderful assessment of the yeaI
1892 II is commented on in various
directions as the eliminating triumph Of
Republican Levy Court county reform
and as record of administration thai
will signalize the present Levy Court as
the most interesting and peculiar body
of reformers that ever undertook the jot
of government for New Castle county
Tuesday afternoons session was de
