Monday evening, FEBRUARY, 2. 1850.
Iron County register. [volume] (Ironton, Iron County, Mo.) 1867-1965, 1880-06-17

CHICAGO, June 8.
To the Editor of the Chicago Tribune:
/ In your article of this morning, pur-
porting to represent somewhat per-
sistent protest made Wednesday night
by me at the rooms of the Missouri del
egation, Palmer House, the following
paragraph apears as having been ap-
piled by me to the delegation of that
State: II won't support a delegation
made up of eX-cOnvicts, post-office re-
fuse, thieves and robbers, such as con-
stitutes the Grant delegation from Mis-
souri," Your desire not to traduce or
upjustly villify some of the noblest
Republicans i'll the United States, as
well as some of the first gentlemen of
that State and of the country, will, ]
am sure, permit me to say that that
sentence misrepresents my expression.
What did say was that there were
ex-penitentiary convicts on the delega-
ton from st. Louis to the State conven-
ton, which was held at Sedalia, MAY
Is, for the purpose of nominating the
present Missouri delegation to Chicago.
And / now take occasion to affirm the
truth of that statement. I also said
since the Grant men propose here at
Chicago to compel the Blaine, Sherman
and Washbnrne men to submit to their
coercion, I would withdraw my sup
port from Grant, and work might and |
main to break the unit rule, and that |
would give my support to John Sher- |
man, whom know is the first choice
of many Republicans of Missouri and /
of the majority of representative and
negro gentlemen through
out the United States.

John Buchanan, the Dean, and some
of the faculty, of the American Univer-
sity of Philadelphia, was arrested last
Wednesday i'm accordance with a meas
ure taken by the Record to stop the
sale of bogus medical diplomas. In
Buchanan's private room were found
nearly half a ton of blank diplomas,
some of them signed by the faculty,
and prepared for the insertion of the
names of buyers. A table drawer was
filled with seals, and on the floor were
the plates from which the diplomas OF
the Electric Medical College and the
American University were printed.
Then the investigators came upon a
bulky mass of correspondence having
reference to the sale of bogus diplomas;
then huge pile of express receipts
were unearthed, showing that fully 81
600 diplomas had been sold during the
past six years. The accused were TAX
en- before United States Commissioner
Gibbons, by whom Buchanan was held
in the sum of $4,000 for examination
next day. Charles S. Polk and J. J..
Siggins. of the faculty. were arrested.
The record representative had collected
evidence against five bogus colleges,
having secured from them five diplo-
mas and four degrees of various kinds,
all at an expense of 1925. The pur-
chases were made under legal advice,
which rendered any escape from the
penalty impossible. The institutions
involved are the Electric Medical Col
lege, the American University of Phil
adelphia, the Livingstone University
Of America, the National Electric Medi-
cal Association, and the Philadelphia
University of Medicine and Surgery, an
eclectic concern.

told the boy he wouldn't allow him
the privilege Of attending church, and
that In addition to this deprivation he
should mind the dog and keep him at
home.
Well they had a pretty good break
fast and the servant girl she went of
to her church, and the preacher and
his family. except the boy and the dog.
they went of to their church.
The dog was uneasy. The boy pit
led him bad. The poor dog had been
30 accustomed to the influences Of the
sanctuary that it was really cruel TO-
deprive him of the opportunities that
are without price and are yet price,
less.
So the boy, feeling that he had du-
ty to perform which ought not to DO

his pent up Utica Of q Conkling, he
hunted up waistcoat of his fathers

MT take with her when she died, and
he tied them on the dog 90 they would
stay, and then he opened the door and
let the poor, pious dumb brute go to
his worshIpping.
And the way that dog worshIppedI
He knew the whole sermon by heart.
I think that boys heart was In the
