that the acts OF 1878 we're formed In
order to purge the lists Of fictitious as
well rs other names because there was
no other mode or power, previously given
by law, for striking them from the assess
nest list. IL will thus be seen
that Judge Grub expressly denied the
power now claimed by the Republican
members Of the Levy Court The News
should hereafter be 'air enough 10 quote
corr, city from judicial opinions delivered
by the judges Of It's own slate. The said
acts Of 1878, having been repealed IN
1891, the plan Of purglnR The lists by the
law Of 1878 has been abolished by
the Legislature without substituting
any other plan or authority for striking
6ctitieus names from the assessment
lists. Consequently there is now no
power in the Levy Court to purge the
lists Of such names, and there can be
none until the Legislature shall pass
some new act giving such power. The
courts can not give such authority, for
they can not exercise legislative power.
This is the whole argument In anutshell.

There are two candidates for mayor Of

both competent. and both are worthy Of
the support OF all good citizens. But
only one Of them can be elected
New Castle Is lively little city and
the people will all vote, II Brother Hance
and the Republican levy courtmea do not
succeed In disfranchising them, but, for
all that, there can be but one mayor. The
little city feels big enough for two aud 1t
would be a lucky chance, just now, II she
could settle a dispute by eleoting both Of
these good men and good Democrats, but
that is out Of the question. A choice be
tween them must be made.
Now, the friends Of both Hanson and
Herbert are active and earnest They
have blood in their eyes and they all
mean business. Neither party is dis
posed to give way without a struggle.
Both want to fight, metaphorically, Of
