A Political War in Montana.

HELENA, Montana, Doc. 9-There
is lively strife in political circles
here. Gov. Schuyler Crosby, who
came out here as the friend of Arth
ur, and was appointed governor
solely because he was Arthur's friend
soon fell at loggerheads with Marshal
Botkin who was a fervent Blaine
man. Crosby has been called to
Washington, as assistant postmaster
general, solely because of Arthur's
love for him. He has preferred
charges against Botkin ard asks for
his removal. The two men were at
swords points while Crosby was here,
and Botkin's superior knowledge of
things and men and western ways
made it unpleasant for the eastern
bed and foreigntrained governor in
this western region.
