HOW TT HAPPENED.
w. A. CLARK TELLS ALL ABOUT TyE
PERFIDY AT THE RECENT
ELECTION.
DAILY, Hauser and Bonner Prove Treach-
erous-How the Work Was Done
The Tribune's Position
Sustained

While at St. Paul en- route to New
York Hon. w. A. Clark was interviewed,
by IA Pioneer Press reporter with the fol-
lowing result:
have had very little to do with politics
man of the central committee, and when
l was nominated in the caucus | declined
the honor. EX-Delegate Maginnis and
Delegate Toole had both refused to be
candidates, and when the delegation
went to tile convention they went With
out a candidate. Somebody nominated
me and declined. l swas nominated a
second time and declined, but 7 was llre-
Cd so strongly that accepted and made
tile canvass. When accepted tile bet
ting was 8 to / on my election, and the
Saturday before election they were bet
ting 2 to on me-"
"Then you attribute your defeat to tho
national landslide, or is Montana repub
lican territory?'
swell, there has been a large emigra-
ton to Montana in the past two years. A
great many Of the new settlers come from
republican districts, and large portion
Of them are Swedes. They are usually
republicans, but even at that Montana is
not necessarily republican. As said be-
fore, on Saturday night the betting was
2 to in my favor, but there was COM
bination against me which could not be
defeated. On Saturday the foreman of
the night Shift in the Anaconda mine or
dered his men to vote for Carter. The
day shift on Sunday also received the
same orders, and five bosses were station.
ed at one of the polling places to see that
these orders were carried out"
"The employees of the Missoula Mercan-
tile company received similar orders, and
the employers saw that they we're obeyed.
| do not undertake to say who was be-
hind these orders, but l do know that
they were issued. The employees of the
Northern Pacific in the territory nun.
bered about two thousand They were
under instructions to vote for Cater, al
though the officers of the road say that
no instructions were issued by them.
Besides this, Gov. Hauser was not en-
thusiastic for the ticket. To show that
the fight IN Montana was not on the
tariff question one only needs to look at
the result IN Choteau county. This is
one Of the largest wool-growing counties
in the territory, but 1t was removed from
the influences brought to bear at Helena
and Bntte, and | received 300 majority in
the county. Dawson county, which was
republican two years ago, also gave me
small majority"

three new machines come to hand and
are set ut work. Mr.. Benedict noted
much progress here since his former
visit and feels the fullest confidence in
the speedy growth of the city.
The canvass of the Choteau county
election returns was made yesterday.
The total number Of votes cast in the
county was 1,242, which is slightly less
than the vote of two years ago The ma
iorities for the several candidates are as
follows: Clark, 1922; Collins, 1898; Gar
rett, 1888; Williams, 1879; Tattan 1O7;
Minar, III; O'Neal, 1866, Hamilton, $50;
Mcintyre, ITO; Dodd, 3O4. A. E.
togers, democratic candidate for
Jerk and recorder and Miss Finnigan,
candidate for school superintendent, had
no opposition and received practically
he entire vote W. ]. Minar, the present
treasurer, is the only republican elected
IN Choteau county.
The murder case of tile territory VS..
Fitzgerald, who killed negro at Benton
some weeks since, was commenced in the
district court at Fort Benton yesterday
morning, and the entire day spent in
securing jury. The bearing of evidence
commenced today and by tomorrow the
case will probably be concluded. 1t is
not thought that Fitzgerald will be found
guilty in the first degree. The Hoppe
murder case will be called next and will
doubtless be concluded this week. If it
is absolutely necessary Judge Bach will
continue the term few days next week
and will postpone the commencement of
the term here the same time. J. w.
Stanton Of this city is assisting in the de-
Tense in several of the most important
cases at Benton and is making good
record. He will be detained there until
the end OF the week or until court closes.
The inquest on the late James Dyas.
whose sad death was announced yester-
day, was resumed to-day. The jury were
George Heldt, foreman, J. A. Carrier, A.
J. Vance, W. Kennedy, James Burns and
G. W. Pence. DR.. Fairfield, the coroner,
submitted the report Of the physicians,
and after some deliberation the Jury re
turned verdict of death from natural
causes. This verdict which removes en-
tirely the slightest ground for any false
impressions, was approved and duly re-
corded by the coroner. The verdict was
in accord with the report of Drs. Ladd
and Lcngeway who made a very careful
examination. The funeral of the de
ceased took place to-day at the Presby-
terrain church where, IN presence of
friends and relatives, the solemn service
was read by Rev. j. Reid. The remains
were then taken to the Sand Coulee GENE
terry, where were inferred all that was
mortal of the warm hearted neighbor,
upright citizen and faithful friend, James
Dyas. Among the members of the family
who attended the funeral were Judge
Dyas and wife, George STEEL and wife
and Colonel Wheeler Of Helena.

PROGRESS.

BY slow degrees the world has moved
Along the path to higher light,
And in its struggles clearly proved
The blest omnipotence of right.
While man is but tiny worm,
An insect in the sounding sea-
Yet in his soul may lie the germ
OF fruitful continents to be.
With feeble things God can confound
The mighty in their boasted power;
The ivy creeping from the ground
O'erruns the ruined castle tower.
Our strength is not In flesh and blood,
Nor forts, nor guns, nor iron bars;
We are the instruments OF God,
Whose years are countless as the stars.
Gods strength Is ours-His word, His law !;
Beside His will we care for naught;
Since time began no eye e'er saw
A fpuitlcss field of righteous thought.
We SOW good seed upon the mold,
A harvest blossoms on our way;
The blessings to-day behold
Were holy thoughts OF yesterday.

THE great victory which has been
achieved in the late election, is all the
more wonderful when considered with
reference TO the great odds which the
control of the political machinery of
the nation gave the vanquished party.
This shows most clearly the beautiful
arrangement of our system Of govern
ment, and gives added confidence that
when an important issue arises. the
people will not abuse the power vested
in them, nor forget their allegiance to
national prosperity. Had the odds
been even greater, our free-thinking
American people would have crushed
its. power when an issue 50 vitally inn
portant as the protection and perpetu-
alton of home industry was threat
ened. The result is worthy of the
struggle it has cost; but even now its
importance will not be appreciated
half so fully as little experience in
the effect Of the defeated policy would
have caused it to be. However, the
result is not less welcome to those who
have labOred to achieve it, from the
fact that every one don't value 1t as
they might; they only recognize and
appreciate the fact that Harrison and
Morton are elected and the country's
