A CLEAN RECORD.
Iron the Richmond Democrat I

State Treasurer Elijah Gates has
paid over every dollar of state money
held by hila aud goes out Of Office
with clean hands. This a matter of
much congratuIatlon to his friends
and the democratic party i'll the
state, for it was feared that the
failure of the Mastin Bank. at Kansas
City, which held a large amount Of
state money on deposit, would pre-
vent the treasurer from accounting
for the funds at the proper time. The
republican papers and orators all
over the state should now hang their
heads in shame for they have ira
duced in q shameful manner a worthy
man, and one who has left no stone
unturned to account for every dollar
that came into his hands. Last fall
the Lexington Register. a republican
paper of u very low order, published
in our neighboring city of Lexington,
in answer to some remarks we had
made in regard to Gates' con-
Quoted, in office. published the fol-
lowing paragraph .
The Richmond Democrat comes
to the defense of State Treasurer
Gates, aud says that the stories about
him are SANDERS. The people Of Ray
county, may not believe that he was
guilty of a great crime i'll robbing
the state treasury, but we can assure
brother Bogie that the honest people
of old Lafayette think differently,
aud they have no desire to listen to
those who offer to speak in his de-
Tense. Those who are endeavoring
to hide his infamy are quite as bad
as those who voted against his im-
peachment.
Now that Gates has settled up and
paid over every dollar due by him to
the state, will the editor Of TIE Reg
lister have the manhood to acknowl-
edge that the statements in the
above paragraph r base SANDERS,
without foundation In truth. We
don't believe he will do il. We don't
believe that he possesses either hon.
esty or honor sufficient to acknowl.
eds o his error, but he will 60 Oh
slandering better men than he can
ever expect to be-, simply because
they don't agree with him i'll poll.
tics :; aud the editor of the Register il
only a representative of a large class
of republicans scattered over the
state, whose only religion is hatred OF
democrats and the democratic party
In this country a man is his swu free
agent. He has a right to be a repub'
iican or democrat just as his judg
ment dictates. We have no quarrel
with any man simply because he is {
republican and we defy the editor Of
the Register or any other mau tt
show where we have ever criticized
arepublican until he,by his W acts
placed himself in a position to b.
criticized. aud when we have SO crit
icized II man if he can show that W.
were in error, we will freely comics:
the wrong and make honest repara
ton. Ex-Treasurer Gates has pait
up every dollar he owed the state snt
il the same Spirit actuated tbs edito
of the Register he would confess hi
error and cay that he had slandere(
AL honest man. He will not do it.

The PHILADELPHIA DIPLoMAs-The
name of DR.. John Buchanan, one
of the principal actors in the proceed
in2s connected with the bogus"
medical diplomas of the Philadelphia
University, is not likely to be soon
forgotten. American papers now re-
port that Buchanan, who is at present
undergoing a sentence of imprison-
ment for a share in those fraudulent
transactions, has surrendered to the
State authorities all his books, letters,
and papers connected with the sale
Of diplomas. : Among them is a list
of the diplomas sold to foreigners, and
it is said that the correspondence
includes letters from about 5000 per-
sons who wished to obtain diplomas.
Itfurther appears that three professors
of the University joined in signing
500 diplomas, five dollars being paid
each time for a signature. The
Spanish Consul in Philadelphia is
charged with having certified the
authenticity of some Of the diplomas
sent abroad, receiving a fee of $50
dollars for this friendly help. AL
