The Editor of the Intelligencer /:

In the Daily Iatelligeacer of the
11th inst. Mr.. Buckner quotes me as
saying that D. H. Mcintyre, while
he was making the canvass for
Attorney General IN the latter part
of 1880 had and used a railroad pass.
Mr.. B. in justice to me and MIR.
Mcintyre should have given all of my
statement. l said this: THAT in
the latter part of 1880, some fifteen
months after the Legislature had
adjourned sine die, and while making
his canvass for Attorney General
he had and used railroad pass and
I further stated that he used it at
no other time, and that so soon as he
was elected to the Office Of Attorney
General, thereby becoming the Law
officer of the State, he had several
passes sent him-and that he
promptly returned the same without
using them. In justice to Genera
Mcintyre think the public should
know all that I said. l should STATE
further that neither Mr.. Mcintyre
nor his friends ever kept what hi
did secret, feeling that he never il
letter or spirit violated the con
stitution. Very Respectfully,
w, III, KEENAN,.

DEAR SIR-Will you do me the favor
OF giving place in your paper to the
following card and greatly oblige,
Yours Truly,

D. FL. McIsTYRE.
TO THE PUBLIC.
observe in the Mexico Daily In
teuigencer Of the 11th inst. in an ar
ticle or card, over the signature OF T..
B. Buckner, Esq, in reference TO the
charge that he had received free
pass over the c. & A. Ry., that the
following language is employed !:
"That the Hon. ID. II. Mcintyre sohile
seroing his last term as representative
of this county in the legislature,
while canyassing for the Office OF at
torney-general, accepted and used d
pass, as we'll as many others / might
name" If, as seems to be the case,
it was intended to convey the idea
by the use of the phrase achae serving
that I ever received Or used free
railroad pass, or such pass at dis
count, at any time before the meet
ing or during the session of any leg
islature of which was member, OF
whilst l was engaged or could be en-
gagged in any of the duties pertaining
to that Office, or any other Office, then
the statement is utterly groundless
and untrue. It is, however, true
that in the summer Of 1880. more
than twelve months after the adjourn
ment sine die of the general assembly
of 1870, when I was only technically
and in possibility a member of the
said general assembly, and when
there was the bare possibility only
and no probability that the said body
would ever again be called together,
I did accept of one company and use
during my canvass for the nomina.
tion to the Office of encouragement
a free pass. 1t is also equally true
that during my late term of Office on
three separate occasions free passes
were rendered me, two of them San.
nuals.' I declined to accept any od
them and returned them. During
my late canvass, which was an ex.
tended one, l paid my railroad fares
at regular rates from the beginning
to the end out of my own money
without a single exception, and that
too, when I had pass rendered mt
for that purpose. During twelve
years of consecutive Office holding
neither I nor any member of my fam
lily has ever directly or indirectly
had, received or used a pass excep
as above stated. My desire to re
tain that good opinion, for it's owl
sake, which I have fattered mysel
that the people of Audrain count.
have SO long entertained, and indeed
| SO often proven, toward me, is tn
motive that prompts me to troubl
any one with these lines. l desir
that if any one cares to take th
trouble to form any opinion as ia
as 1 am concerned, that they shal

ment of the whole case. The passe
returned by me were so returned Q

A Crooked Plea.

a CROOKED flea.
From the st. Louis Post Dispatch.
Prosecuting Attorney Buckner Of
Audrain publishes a card in regard
to ssmalicious attacks" on him, and
his appeal to public sympathy as
sumes the prevalence Of remarka-
bly, lax public sentiment in regard to
official obligations which ought to be
kept sacred. He admits that he 40
cepted an annual railroad pass from
G. B. Macfarlane, attorney for the
Chicago and Alton, but says that he
took it on the ground that It was in
the nature OF q fee for services rem
dered, not such ''free pass" as the
Constitution forbids any official to
receive or use, aud that he gave it
back as soon as he found his personal
enemies inclined to make q fuss about
it In support Of his confession he
publishes q letter from Mr.. Macfar-
lane, who coolly says:
The Constitution has now been in
force ten years and the Legislature
has never passed an act for the en-
forcement Of this provision, but, on
the contrary, all laws prepared for
that purpose have been summarilly
voted down, and for this reason the
Constitution, in that regard, is gener-
ally considered dead in letter and in
spirit.
procured the pass for MIR. Buck
ner in consideration of certain SER
vices he had rendered the Company,
which / considered outside his Official
duties, which would have entitled
him to compensation, and the pass
in no sense could be called o free
pass within the meaning of the Con-
stitution, and there suas no pioldtion
of it.
This boast of the railroad attorney,
that the Legislature has made dead
letter Of the Constitution, is respect
fully submitted to the State Senate,
with the following further statements
from Prosecuting Attorney Buckner:
That my worthy predecessor, J.
Med. Trimble, while City Attorney
of Mexico, q municipal officer, -
during the year 1884 and 1885, &C
cepted and used q railroad pass; that
the Hon. D. 81. Mcintyre, while
serving his last term as the Represen-
tative Of this county in the Legisla-
ture, while canyassing for the oflice
of Attorney General, accepted and
used pass, as well as many others ]
might name.
4 The plain intent and purpose oi
the Constitutional provisions thu
violated was to prevent any official o.
this State or its municipalities from
accepting passes as compensation fol
jservices rendered or to be rendered
to railroads, and to secure the remov
al of all officials who thus violated
their official oaths. Tie Legislator
who sets himself above the sovereign
people and attempts to make a deaf
letter Of the Constitution they havs
adopted, is as much forsworn as an,
other custodian of a public trust whit
coolly sells himself TO corporation
