Hhe Circulation Of the Statesman
and dIOurnaI-AT Test PropOsition
TO Decide which Is the Larger
Dare the journal A AccePt?
The Journal editor, ever since that estab-
lishment came into the hands of the present
owners, has labored to pick up stray
crumbs of patronage, by declaring the
STATESMAN had but limited circulation.
In its last issue, that paper, in excusing
the Secretary of the State Board of Agri-
culture for sending to the Journal certain
Information relative to the sheep growing
interest of the State, instead of to both the
STATESMAN and the Journal says:
" 1t was Mr.. Klippart's desire to publish
the information he had-an object which
could not have been accomplished by
burying it in the. columns of the STATES
MAN. a zs
To settle this question of the relative
circulation of the two papers, we have a
proposition to make:
We propose to haze the Pressmdn Of the
STATESMAN s,oorrs, and to giue. under oath, the
aggregate number Of copies of DAILY, TRI-
WEEKLY and WEsK1Y ONO STATESMAN,
~ oeoU Ufty UIto UOCeN tstHsfsy VIC P'CoosS
the Journal on It's part, to procure a similar
affidavit from its Pressnsan for the same time
both a6idauits to be published in each edition
of the too papers. ~ .ras- .r, -
This will settle the relative circulation of
the Journal and the STATESMAN beyond
doubt or dispute. We assert that the cir
culation of the OHIO STATESMAN is far ahead
of the Morning Journal, and If the Journal
DARE accede to our proposition, and the
facts do not bear us out in the assertion,
then we will agree that the Journal, for
once, was right, and the STATESMAN wrong.
If the editor of the "negro suffrage" organ
refuses this fair proposition, then we will
hold him as one who bears false witness
against his neighbor, in order to reap a
pecuniary benefit thereby, and will insist
that his ISLANDERS against the circulation of
the STATESMAN cease, or else the editor
must take that brand which no gentleman
can receive Without dishonor, and which,
when applied to the editor of the Journal,
will be richly merited. =

In speaking of the nominations by the
Democratic party, for members of the Leg
islature, the Journal says:
g we see them bringing out as their
candidates for the Legislature, the very
first men of the party. Men of talent,
wealth and influence, who are expected to
exert every energy for their own election.
For example, in Muskingum county they &.
have nominated Hon. ii. j. Jewett and Hon,
Ed. Ball. The first an ex-senator, eX-can-
didate for Congress, eX-candidate for Gov
ernor, and President of railroad company
whose line extends through five counties
two of which they hope to change this fall
He is an old party hack, with plenty of
money, and the control of a large number
of railroad employees that are voters, and
may be voted at several different precincts
on the line of the road. He will also, doubt
less, have the influence of one of the largest
railroad lines in the country to his assist
ance, and the help of the party in Belmont
county, where the issue may be regarded as
doubtful
Mr.. JEwETT, before, the leasing of the
Central Ohio Railroad to the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad Company, was the Receiver.
Since the consolidation of the two roads, he
has no connection with the running of either
and hence the charge of the Journal, that
he has the "control of large number of
railroad employees that are voters" is un-
true, and the insinuation that the persons
in charge of the road would allow those in
their employ to vote "at several different
precincts on the line of the road" thus
committing G Penitentiary offense, is a
gratuitous slander, without single circum-
stance to give it even the appearance OF
being well founded.
Than HUGH j. JEwETT and EDWARD
BALL, no Representative Ticket in Ohio, or
elsewhere, can boast purer patriotism, more
worth or higher talent. Because of this,
they are fit subjects for the detraction of
the Journal, for slander ever loves a shin
ing mark, but we much mistake the temper
OF the voters of Muskingum, who next
winter will be the constituents OF these
gentlemen, il the talseboods of the Journal
do not increase the large majority they are
bound to receive.

dren 10 Attend White Schools.
A writer in the journal, over the sigma
ture of ''Equal Rights" on the subject of
the :" Colored Schools of the City," says:
s..Unless the colored children are allowed
to attend school here, as they are in Cleve-
land, am very much in favor of having a
colored School Board. 1 am confident they
would feel more interest in this matter"
In the schools of Cleveland no distinction
is made on account of color, unless it be in
favor of the negro. Black and white chill
dren attend the same school, and the colors
are allowed to blend-white and blacks be-
ing sandwiched on the same seat. Instances
have been known where the parents of
white children made a request that their
little ones be not forced to sit beside negro
children, which request was utterly disre-
garded.
When negro suffrage, for which the Alb
olition party is now battling, prevails, and
Columbus has "colored school board"
negro children here, as in Cleveland, will
attend school on terms of equality, but un-
til these things happen, we do not believe
" Mr.. Equal Rights" can force his negro
children into the white schools of Columbus
and we would be sorry if he did.

PROOFS OF THE SUPERIOR QUALITY

AM ERTCAN WATCH,
MADE AT
WALTHAM, MASS.

The American Watch Company, of Waltham,
Mass, respectfully submit that their Watches are
cheaper, more accurate, less complex, durable
better adapted for general use and more easily kept
in order and repaired than any other Watches in
the market. They simp. er in structure, and
therefore stronger and less likely to be u Ired than
the msjority of foreign Watches, which are COM
posed of from 125 to 800 pieces while in old Eng
lish Watch there more than 7OOp parts. How they
run under the hardest trial Watches can have is
shown by the following letter: tlDts.-l

Gentlemen: The Watches manufactured By you
have been in use on this railroad for several years
by our enginemen, to whom we furnish Watches as
part of our equipment. There are now some three
hundred of them carried on our line, and We CON
slider them good and reliable time-keepers. Indeed
have great satisfaction in saying your Watches
much longer without repairs than any Watches we
have ever had in use on tn 5 road As you are
ufacture, of acinowledsed good reoutation: but as
class they never kept time as correctly, nor have
they done as good service, as yours. -
