Lively Tilt in the Levy Court.
ARMSTRONG SPOKE OF MKAEE

MIR. white Repudiates the Imputation
and Carried His Point as to the Privi-
leEeS within the Railing OF the Levy
Court Room-only.the Voucher and Ap-
pIicant Allowed.
Republican heelers and henchman had
another bomb thrown into their camp In
the Levy Court room this morning, and
they don't know what to expect next.
They are all at sea, and Francis s. Brad.
ley and A. B. Mcpherson Johnson are at
their wit 'ssend to get vouchers.
Before the Levy Court met this morn
Ing the Court House corridors leading to
the room were lined with negroes and
white heelers. under the leadership of
Bradley and johnson.
Shortly after the court opened they
crowded into the room and within the
room. Mr.. White moved that only the ap.
plioant and voucher be allowed within
the room. This caused breeze, even
though IL was not acted upon. Then
Mr.. White moved that only the
applicant and voucher be allowed
within the rail, and pass
out after being acted upon This WAS
objected to by the Republicans, Kbut was
carried and the crowd was ordered back
of the railing 1t complied with the
order
The sensational feature Of the session
was when A. B. Mcpherson johnson, the
negro lieutenant of Corruption Hall.
wanted TO vouch for a Second ward man.
Mr.. White said that he objected to
johnson acting as voucher unless he lived
In the same ward. This led to 4 general
discussion.
Mr.. Scott said that 1t might be all
right sometimes. but he would object
himself hereafter because he knew A. b.
Mcpherson Johnson had vouchsd for men
he had not known for FIVE minutes be-
fore
Mr.. Gallagher. who is a conservative
Republican, said that was not right for
anyone 10 do.
Mr.. Armstrong. who is nothing II not
radical, said he believed that the chair.
man was as honorable as any man In the
Levy Court, but such proceedings as
those OF yesterday were dlsgraceful, dis
honorable and ungentlemanly, and re-
sembled Boss McKaneism.
To this attack Mr. White replied that
he didn't think his brother member
ought TO speak about McKaneism In con-
neciion with him.
II don't say anything but che truth" Z"
retorted Mr. Armstrong. "My vote here
may not be any good, but my tongue. is all
right"
After a prolonged tilt In which Mr..
Armstrong became very pointed and per
sonal. the matter simmered down to
nothing and the work proceeded.
In order to facilitate work on the re-
vision Of the assessment and to get
the books In the hands Of Clerk Of
the Peace Blggs. 1t was decided
TO reserve the afternoons for hearing
applicants. and proceed with revision
during the morning sessions.

| number Of persons who lhad received
Corruption Hall notices that thew had
been left of the assessment went to the
Levy court and found that there
was no truth In the notification. They
expressed their indignation concerning Z
political dodge which made them lose
time and money.

Newark, assessed at 1000, was reduced
to $1,000.
