The Bates County Democrat has repeatedly by intimations, insinua tions and even by direct charges, as- sailed the meibers of the city eoun- cil, the mayor and city clerk. It charged that there was something wrong with the city finances and re- peatedly demanded that a financial statement be made. So bitter and persistent were these attacks that they assumed the role of a persecu- tion. During all this time the oth- er papers of the city, two of which are of different politieal complexion to these officers, remained silent— failed to discover these fraudulent transactions at which the Democrat hinted. The council in its own good time has had prepared and publish- ola detailed statement of the re- ceipts and expenditures of the city, | accounting for every dollar of money received and to what individual and for what purpose every dollar was paid out. If any money had been misspent this statement would show it. Still Mr. Wade makes a frantic effort to make an adverse criticism, but gives the “milk in the cocoanat” in the very first paragraph of his aticle, that the statement was published in a paper other than the Democrat. After one or two spas- modic efforts to find a “mare's nest,” that paper concludes with the threat that “we are not done with this question.” We stand square on the platform “let no guilty man escape.” If there has been any crookeduess in the management of the city af- fairs, it should be exposed and thie guilty parties brought to justice,but uutil such erookedness is discovered let no paper, pretending to respecta- bility, enter the role of a back-bit ing, blackmailing sheet because the city printing isnot given it. Shame ona paper pretending to support the principles of democracy and la ber in the interest of the democratic party eontinually villifying democrat 1c officials because the editor of that paper has a personal spleen to vent against some or all of these officers If these officials violate the law they should be exposed, but ns long as they conduct the duties faithfully and honestly they deserve the sup port of the party which elected them and until the Bates County Demo crat can give a good reason, outside of a personal grievance of the editor, for fighting these democratic city officials it should cease such watr- fare or be held responsible not only by the city democracy but by the party in the county which it is in joring eee THAT FINANCIAL STATEMENT. No oxe objects to Gol. Wade doing all the figuring on the financial state- ment he chooses, but he should not manipulate the figures aud use sopb- istry in trying to deceive his readers into believing something is wrong. After deducting the decrease in the debt, $1,384.48, and the balance im the treasury, $2,612.96 from the to- tal receipts, $13,122.09, he has left $9,124.65, which he says is the actu- al running expenses for fourteen and one half months of the Pace admin- istration. Thisis not true. From this amount must be deducted old warrants issued prior to April 12th, 1890, $220.34; paid to Bates County National Bank, $257.50 on cemetery bonds and to Missouri State Bank $2,189.30 on bonds,making a total of $2.667.14 to be deducted from the $9,124.65, or making the actual amount expended for running ex- penses during the 144 months $6,- 457.51, or about $445 per month. $1, Set - Decrease in debt Bal iutreasury ’ warrants issued prior to April ‘9 Paidon cemetery Louds . city ‘ Votal © Receipts Total renr'ng expenses for 141-2 months $6,6 We frankly admit that this city coun- cil expended more money than the Hickman administration during its last year.
