The Wilmington daily Republican. (Wilmington, Del.) 1890-1902, 1897-05-29

1t Is said the Poles have revolted In the
Eleventh ward and they held meeting
one night Of this week and decided to
make demand from the Democratic
candidate for City Council, Henry R.
Smith OF monetary consideration for
their vote on the 9th day Of June next.
Th, meeting was largely attended and the
voice of all present was In favor Of put
ting up the required amount or they
would refuse to vote at the ensuing cleo
ton u and there will be Republican
councilman from that ward to represent
1t IN City Council.
Said o prominent Eleventh ward Dem
ocrat, IL those blasted Poles refuse to vote
for my friend Smith, we will disfranohlse
every mothers son of them, and thereby
Ct our revenge.
. MORE OFFICES FOR DEMOCRATS TO FILL,
The Legislature will, without a doubt
pass the bill appointing a Demoaratic
County Tax Collector fof every hundred
in the State of Delaware 1t Is the Same
old STORY of saving at the spiggot and
wasting at the bunghole
by this means some twenty.nine new
positions will be created and that many
more drawing pay from the tax payers OF
Delaware. 1t is strange that the manner
IN which the county taxes have been COL
lected in New Castle county was the
proper way to collect them while Receiver
John I. Dickey held office, but that Just
as soon as his party was defeated the
Legislature should be asked to change the
manner OF collecting the taxes and the
Republican Receiver Of Taxes, Horace j.
Rettew, should have his salary reduced
from four to three thousand dollars a
year, and then fifteen collectors appointed
thus putting an additional burden on the
county, whose treasury.is empty and to
whom Senator Pyle has talked very plain
ly OF their extravaganza.
But these appointments are to be the
act OF the Legislature. 1t would be very
appropriate to hear what Senator Pyle has
10 say about the manner In which our
county has been plunged into debt In
Speaking on the work.house bill he says:
Inc finances OF our county to-day, when
we come to look at It, are In q deplorable
condition, and In the face of 1t Ii Is pro.
posed to encur s200, 600 more of debt. To-
day the Levy Court of New Castle county
would take Slt3 $50 to pay their outstand- |
ing bills, to say nothing about the exist.
Ing bonded debt of the county.
And now in the face Of that with bank.
Tuptcy staring US In tho face fail to see |
now we can afford to build such an In. |
stituIion. If we could build this and then |
unload it on the State that would be one |

neglect Of the Levy Court of New Castle |
county has entailed this trouble upon us

That was to be IL scheme to cost the coun.

outcasts. 1t has done neither. 1t has
been an absolute failure. would be glad

The above was uttered by Democrat
and one who should know vol what he Is
talking EabDut. Coming from Repub.
lican member of the Senate the cry might
go up that it was for political effect and
was done to catch votes at the coming
election for the Republican party, but
when uttcd by II Democrat it. has a par.
ticular significance. He that runs may
well read the hand writing on the wall
