MIR. Hollands Parting shot at the Unjust
PartIsanship of the sussex County Levy
Court.
Editor Gazette &c journal. have just read
Mr.. Robert c, Whites explanation OF the
action of the Sussex county Levy Court for
refusing to qualify the Republican assessor
of Cedar Creek hundred. but, in my humble
judgment, it is the lamest explanation ever
put in black and white. better. much
better "if the child had never been born"
1t is an explanation that does not explain.
Now, Mr.. Editor. for few plain facts,
and am done. The Republican assessor
OF Cedar Creek was fairly and.duly elected.
No sane man, no honest Democrat doubts
it. The Democratic Levy Court has counted
him out, and. in doing SO, ! say great
political crime has been committed. The
sacred right of citizenship has been vio-
lated without the shadow of u reason; the
will of the people as expressed at the
ballot box on the 9Th of November, has
been ignored without the semblance of
excuse. In short, sir, the most damnable
piece Of political robbery ever known TO
the people of Sussex county has been
perpetrated, deliberately. I'm aftaid, in
the name of the great Democratic party
of Delaware, and |. for one, want to enter
my solemn aud indignant protest.
Not only do want to enter my protest,
but / write to demand, in the name and
on behalf of thousands of as good Demo-
Gratis as the sun ever kissed with his lowell.
ness, that this mnnstrons wrong be righted;
that this foul blot be wiped out; that these
stolen goods be returned to their rightful
owners.
No matter how much doodle Mr..
Addicks put into the county, that is no
excuse. The Democrats spent every dollar
they could beg or borrow and bitterly
'wept for more" Every body knows
that. No matter about the action of the
Republican Levy Court from 1889 to S92.
Two wrongs do not MAKE right, no
matter about the 'rancOrous. unjustiiiable.

occasion, could foresee what trouble that
place would give them, they would tear ii

should stand.n And, it seems to me, Mr.
Editor, If the Levy Court OF Sussex county
could foresee what trouble this thing will
give the Democratic party in the years to
come; II they could turesee the blazing

could foresee what trouble they will have

Nemesis like, in the wake of an aroused

than it should stand another day longer.
And, believe they will, believe they
will right the wrong; that they will wipe
out the stain; that they will return the
stolen goods; that they will count i'm
the duly elected Republican assessor OF
Cedar Creek hundred, and thus show to
the world that "all honor and virtue has
not departed from the Democratic party
