Governor Jewell was subsequently in

Iiabiiity of the State above the cash

244 for this year. The increase of taxable
property in the State during the year is

Editor Of The Belmont Chronicle: 5--
1t may not be generally known that
our State School Commissioner, while
preparing his last report requested
Boards of County School Examiners to
report to him in writing the ''progress,
condition and wants of the public schools
of the counties"
His last report, just out, presents an
interesting :c;:::;;,rc on the question of
County School Supervision. All the
Boards so reporting to him, except 20,
urge in the most emphatic and eouvinc-
ing manner the absolute necessity for
County Supervision. OF the 20 counties
not thus recommending. l9 show by
their report its necessity and in NEST
cases hint that something of the kind is
wanted. But one county reports that
county superintending does not fEd
many advocates in this localityn Au-
glaize is that county. and yet in the body
oftheir report they give facts which show
the utility and absolute necessity of su-
pervision. They say T" therural districts
are in q very backward condition, be-
cause of Incompetent directors and
teachers; but that schools in larger
towns are progressing finely, especially
the Union schools, one at Wopokoneta,
Under the, superintendanee of c. w.
Williamson, and tie other at St. Mary's,
under the control of Mr. w. +. florence"
"They are well managed &c Now in
the little county of Auglaize where the
schools are 'superiutendej ana con TROLL
ed" they compare favOrabiy with any
in the North Vest, but in the country
where they are not superintended by
one general head and directory such as
a county superintendent they are still
in backward condition.
The article itself contains the very
best evidence that in uglaize as else
where, schools csnnot beas successfully
managed BY the present system " as by
proper supervision, Mr.. Clerk c. Berlin
to the contrary Notwithstanding.
Hence out of the 81 counties reported

aminers; IL recommended and urge

Why, with such uniuers.l demand for

sTATE CENTRAL OoMITTEE.

THE editor of THE CHRONICLE says
that he 9Urites all the editorials that ap-
pear in THE CHRoNICLE. No doubt he
soTites over all the productions furnished
him to save harlmesst the real authors, and
; TO enable him. to say that he sCrites them
Bnt let any critic or expert read the two
editorial articles in juxtaposition in the
last CHRONICLE, and see whether he
will say they are the emanations of the
same brain. 1t is simply ridiculous to
claim any such thing. And the editor
writes himself down as an ass when he
attempts to make his readers believe
that he is the author of all the original
matter that appears in that paper
Your style is not SO varied as all that,
-lGazette.
We are obliged to you. Mr.. Gazette,
for the compliment contained in the
above. We not only uaite the articles
in THE CHRONICLE that appear as edi-
torials, but we get them up, or, if you
preferit. originate them and when you
declare that they are too varied in style
to be the work of one man, you mean, of
course, one such man as the editor of the
Gazette. But reslly, now, isn't that a
a rather illusary ground-the varied
style.iof the editorialarticles-on which to
5sse the bold charge made two weeks
ago that Mr.. Alexander wrote-a part of
them? And has all your bold deelara-
tions on that point fizzled down to this?
Will you be kind enough to tell your
readers that the article in your paper
making the first attack on Mr.. Alexan-
der and those that have since appeared
on that. subject, were concoeted and
written by certain lawyer who is anx-
ious to become the next Common Pleas
Jadge in this District, for whose
benefit you made several trips to Cslum-
bus, in order to get the Republican
county struck offfor fear he could not be
elected in the District as it was, and not
by the editor of the Gazette. 10
