defenders on the floor of the conven-
ton and may be heard himself. There
is also a lively scrap expected over
State Superintendent Of Schools Cal
ton. Several populists have declared
hat they are going To demand his res
ignation, or in lieu of that that he re-
nounce his allegiance to the populist
party. Mr.. Carlton will. 1t is under
stood, be on hand to defend himself.
Then IL would be foolish to overlook
the fact that hot times are very likely
in the silver republican convention. The
Mantle and Hartman factions are pres
ent in strong forces, the breach between
the two factions has been growing
wider day by day and open a"ntagonism
is almost certain to-day. There are
many good takers in the silver repub-
lican ranks and the convention Will be
well worth attending. They meet in the
council of the city hall.
There may be a debate over fusion In
the democratic convention, which will
meet in the Margaret theater, and IL ii
is fairly launched some of the best ora
torical talent in the state will be heard
on one side or the other. There may b.
some interesting side issues also.
Charles w. Clark. son of w. A. Clark,
came over from Butte on the s o'clock
train last evening, accompanied by T..
l.. Whitmore. Mr.. Whitmore carried a
big grip, which was filled with c%ertifi-
Gates and affidavits. The a~fidavits
tended to show that one man voted
twice in the Butte primaries, and Cor
that reason the rest of the delegations
should refuse to sit with the Silver Bow
delegation. Nothing was said about
these afidavits after the Lewis and
Clarke delegation arrived last night.
Some Of the Helena leaders called the
young men off. telling them that the
democrats Of the state have grown
heartily tired of Clark bringing his per
sonal troubles into every convention,
and they thought if he couldn't win in
his own county he should stop carrying
his whine To the convention.
The certificates brought over by Mr..
Clark relate to Mr.. Hartman. They
are an attack on his record i'm Wash
ington and in Montana, and they may
he introduced into the convention to-
day in some way. Several delegations
were separately called into Mr.. Clarks
room at the Montana and shown the
certificates. 1t is understood that Mr..
Clark is out to beat Hartman, but II Is
denied that he is working in the inter-
ests of Mantle.
TIL only candidates tina were pulling
I'm the lobby last night seemed to he
democratic candidates. The only name
mentioned for chief justice as yet is
w. Y. Pemberton. the present incum-
bent. Judge Pemberton was elected as
a populist four years ago, but before
that he was a democrat. and q few
days ago. in an interview in Spokane,
he declared himself a democrat and in
Kalispell. on his return to Montana, he
made a democratic speech. For this
reason some opposition to him has
arisen among populists and some de-
clared last night that he would not be
nominated by that party in case of flu
sion. 1t is not likely that i'm case Of
fusion the Office Of chief justice would
no accorded 10 the nnnulgfG unless II
was understood that Pemberton would
be the nominee. There was some oppO-
sition to Judge Pemberton heard among
democrats also last night. but he
seemed satisfactory TO the bulk of the
democratic delegates, and particularly
to the Silver Bow delegates, Judge
Pemberton being a Butte man.
For associate justice the only name
heard last night was that Of w. T. Pig
gott of Great Falls, the present incum-
bent.
For clerk of the supreme court quite
n bunch OF candidates We're rustling
last night. Among them are Harry +.
Ayrshire Of Butte. H.. G.. Rickerts Of
jefferson county. A. J. Niolette Of Mis-
soula, Thomas ID. Long of Flathead,
Lon II. Hoss Of Philipshurg, H. j. Nellie
of Choteau, w. c. Busket, Charles Muf-
fly and IL. ID. Hauser of Helena.
There was much talk on the streets
ldNl nlEnl III ItSdiu 10 the tonEICSSlOnd
nomination. In case of no fusion there
will probably be several names pre-
sented for the congressional nomination.
While only two or three candidates are
really in the field. the James of Others
were much talked of last evening as
possibilities. Major Maginnis is on the
ground. accompanied by strong u p
pOrteTs. and his name will likely be pre-
scented. Granville stuart and \. j.
Campbell are mentioned from Butte. l..
g. Denny Of Missoula, Ex-Governor
Toole Of Helena, T.. G. Day of Helena
and w. q. Downing of Great Falls. The
Lewis and Clarke delegation, after their
arrival last night, began boosting for
Attorney General Nolan for congress.
This candidacy has not as yet been au-
thorized by Mr.. Nolan.
