Down IN SUssEX.-The Geor0etotDn
Republican has the following about
their Levy Court: The disgraceful act
of the Levy Court last week in refus-
ing to hear the application for assess
ment, should open the eyes Of all good
citizens to the present condition of our
assessment and election laws. 1t
should not be possible for any party
being in power to thus take an advant-
age of the minority and thus be en-
abled to perpetuate that power.
Why is it necessary that any voter
should be compelled to be assessed as a
qualification to vote9 What are the
registration laws for but to protect the
purity of the ballot and prevent any
possibility of fraud or illegal voting !?
Why was it necessary that the old de-
linquent law should be re-enacted
The cry of fraud and Of padded
assessment is merely an attempt to
hide their crime by the cry os ''stop
thief" Talk is cheap" and the peo-
pie of Sussex county have so well
learned this lesson that they propose
to Judge the respective parties by their
acts and not by their words.
If their cry of fraud has any found
alton let them act and not cry like a
scared child before it is hurt. The
Levy Court passed a resolution re.
guiring that the lists of applicants for
assessment be filed before the day set
for their hearing. 1t was done. Why
was it required? Because the Demo
cratic Levy Court desired to examine
the list of applicants to ascertain if
they appeared thereon the name of any
man who was not entitled to be assessed
What was the result of that examin-
alton? They adjourned early Thurs
day morning two hours before theiI
customary hour of meeting, without
hearing one applicant. Were they
afraid to give these men heir hearing
