Helena Hints.

The constitutional convention met
promptly at noon on Monday, January
18th, and forty members responded to
their names. The proceedings in the
election Of officers and ~effecting an or
ganization developed a number of as
pirants for higher honors. w. A.
Clark's friends worked hard for his
election, and have virtually declared
that he is the Silver Bow candidate for
the democratic nomination for congress.
Marcus DAILY, Of the Anaconda mine, at
Butte, says that he is done with Magin-
mis- and that MI. w. A. Clark is a very
good man. This is significant as DAILY
is the most influential worker among
the democrats in Butte. Clark is a cour-
teous and painstaking presiding officer
and the members are disposed to help
him along.
The two leading committees of the
entire twenty-one standing committees
are the finance and judiciary. Choteau
county is honored by having a delegate
on each of these important committees,
as r. e. Collins is chairman Of the fin
ance and w. lei. Hunt, j., a member OF
the judiciary committee. The peculiar
fitness of each for the place he occupies
is recognized in Helena by all, and both
are working hard OH their respective
portions of the new constitution.
There are many able men in the con
vention, and the making of a constitu-
ton is thought to be in the hands Of the
best body that ever assembled in the ter
ritory.
The grand jury system is not liked by
many members and an effort will be
made to abolish it. The sense Of the
convention is also in favor of limiting
state. municipal and county indebted
ness, and against special legislation.
Politics are freely talked in Helena.
They say Maginnis, Botkin, Clark,
Power, Mccormick, Teole, Mills, Sta
pleton and Blake all want to and expect
20 be sent to congress. The democrats
of this side seem ready to concede the
candidate to the west side, but they
want to say who he shall be. The re-
publicans, on the other hand, are fish
ing for any man who can run we'll.
HELENA, January 23.-W. I'll. Hunt,
of Choteau county, has been appointed
a member of the committee to prepare
an address to the people in reference to
the constitution and it's adoption.
Talk about the Benton branch Of the
Northern Pacific is revived, and it is
generally believed here that it will be
commenced and completed this year.
Mr.. Sam'l Hauser, who has just return
ed from New York, brings this informa-
ton. He is confident the branch will
be built, and his words have inspired
everybody else with confidence.
The surveyor employed by Hauser &
Hotter to run the lines Of the big ditch
to bring water to their 10000 acres of
land near lower Sun river has returned
and pronounces the scheme practicable.
Some contracts have already been let to
construct the canal.
