SAULSBURY'S RECORD
In Questions Of Morality, De-
cency and Honesty He is on
Trial Before the People.
SCHEME TO KIDNAP LEADERS
Was the State Chairman Wholly
Ignorant of Crooked Work
of Democratic Asses
sors and Collectors
and Callahan's
Record.
rom the Evening Jonrnnl.

the Democratic State Central Commit
tee, SAYS that "queStions Of honesty,
,le.rncy and morality are uppermost III
this State now; not political questions,
That has pretty jingle to II person
to whom the past nolitlcal record ot
the Democratic Chairman is not known.
We presume Mr.. SALISBURY was wholly
ignorant Of the crooked work Of Demo-
cratic assessors and collectors III years
gone by, and that the Court House
riot record Of John Il. Callahan Is so
honest decent and moral that that rs
the reason Mir. Salisbury has brought
him ont for State Senator III the Sec
ond district And what about that
pretty scheme conceived by Mr.. SaulS-
bury to kidnap Addicks leaders on the
Norfolk express? Yes. questions of
honesty. decency and morality are mp
permost in the State now, and Mr..
Salisbury and some of his close friends
are on trial before the people.
DEMOCRATIC EDITOR LIES.
From the Georgetown Union Repuhi-
cam
Any attack made upon Mr.. Marshall
by the Democratic editor OF the Even
ing journal will he understood by every
Discerning Republican. The charge that
DIR. Marshall is not and has not been Il
true and loyal Republican Mt all times
is simply Il deliberate falsehood. The
charge that hr is or has been II party
wrecker is shown to be most ridicuouSly
absurd by the simple reminder Of the
fact that as Chairman Of the Republican
Committee Of Kent County-formerly.
under the ancient leadership. the strong
est Democratic county in the Sutn-he
has led his party to success in three sue
cesSivu campaigns. Ii this he party
wreckHg let's have more of it,
DIR. BLACK STILL IN THE RACE.
From the New Castle News.
Notwithstanding nj the stories 70 The
contrary we know Dr. Black will a"-
cept the nomination if il comes TO him
i'll fam and natural way. He has not
authorized amy one to say he is not II
candidate for the nomination. All he has
ever said is that he will do nothin.
to secure the nomination that might be
construed as underhand or unclcan.
WILLARD IS A SIMPLE BIRD.
From the Georgetown Union Repubi
can.
Willard Salisbury don't like the tniol
Republican Convention. The idea.
says he, 'of man setting up ticke
for political conventions. Poor Wi
lard. What stupendous combination
of pncksniff and .Annanias he is! IL
is even now doing, or rather trying Il
do. the same thing. and is ostrich cnOugl
TO think that nobody knows it. Simpl
bird.
KENT COUNTY SCHOOL TANES
From the Dover State Sentinel.
The assessment of school taxes fc
this district has been completed, appei
day passed and the collector is now el
gagged in gathering the taxes accordin
to this list. which is now conclusive an
must stand. Yet ut the same time I'll
Taxpayer is confronted with one of I'll
most unjust assessments that was eve
made. and Il general howl arises in col
sequence.
In many instances a levy hes bee
m;ede on silverware and other person
property. when i'll fact the assessor 1t
not know such property TO he III the po
session of the person assessed or /
true value. 1t is true the committee III
to hear such appeals and to make y
proper corrections. hut It Is seldom u
posted list OF dSSeSSihehl y NNci ~
suited. as the assessment is usually III
and impartial: hence the majority
Taxpayers were ignorant of the prese
unjust assessment.
That. however. does not excuse q
committee or the person appointed
them to make the assessment for fam
in the performance Of his duty 1t
his duty to have n personal view
such property or to obtain sutiicie
information of the owners or perso
having control of the same in order
fix the rate. In Il great many instance
N we are informed. this was not done II
7 the assessor made his assessment rs
saw it. regardless Of the taN-lmNt
actual worth or belongings. Our taS
are heavy enough without being tax
on that which we do not possess Il
it is unfortunate that the school 90
mittee did not select an assessor W
ii would have more faithfully perform
5H his duty.
