Our candidates are particularly anx-
ious to abolish the office of County Su-
perntcndent. Now, every School Di-
rector in the county, who has done his
duty, land most of them have we'll and

County Superintendent, our county
never would have received the So 397,-

much less the IS 1886 which she
never paid. She. therefore, possesses
a material argument in favor of q

own behalf, that l was appointed in
October, 1867, without my knowledge
or consent, and elected by the Civil
District Directors in March. 1868,
without asking any of them to vote for
me. Furthermore, it is and must be, at
the present salary, pecuniary disad-
vantage to me, or any other man capa-
BILE of properly discharging its duties

have accepted or retained the office. l
mean just what I say; and l an al
ways ready to resign in favor Of any
man capable Of filling it properly. No
State, thus far, has made the free
school system real success without
County Superintendent. No business
succeeds without "head centre" No
Northern or European emigrant will
90 where there are no free schools.
Therefore, I, for one, will vote for no
man opposed to our free school law
which only needs such amendments as
will make it more efficient.
There is now quite demand for
teachers in our county, and ] hope it
will be supplied soon, as all say it is
better pay than subscription schools,

should commence at once. ...
