and had cleaned up things to the ex-
tent OF his ability very vigorously and
very satisfactorily to himself. There
is no doubt In my mind that IL was a
decided clean up. Some of the silver
republicans think II was q dirty deal
as far as they are concerned. but that's
because they have not been educated
dp TO the publication of politics on
the Clark plan"
You're dead right" said the dry
goods clerk. 9TH trouble with a great
many Butte people Is that they don't
appreciate the strength n efficacy OF
Clark's soap. II this campaign were to
last two weeks longer. / doubt N so
much as a grease spot would be left
OF the silver republican ticket. Take
Mr.. Lloyd. for instance. My friend
Lloyd said Senator Mantle to me as
we were coming out OF church together
last Sunday. my friend Lloyd is true
blue. Lloyd is warranted fast colors.
Lloyd will wash Lloyd did wash.
Clark washed and purified him and we
see him now in his true colors. Un-
fortunately for Mantle. true blue isn't

"Lloyd's colors depend entirely on the
light you view him in" replied the
dry goods clerk. There is the Butte
Miners view for example. II a silver re-
publican goes over to Clark and gets
purified. though he be as black a re-
publican as they make them. he shall

Il don't know so much about the
purity of Mr.. Lloyd's motives" said the
bookkeeper. but / do admire the pu-
rity of his gall. The purity Of Mr..
Lloyd's motives"
Don't talk to me about the putrid-
lily Of Mr.. Lloyd's motives" interrupt
ed the landlady. It's my opinion hat
Mr.. Clark's style of putrefying the pol
tiles of Butte Is simply rotten, and l
don't care who knows II. Every man
who has anything to do with it Is get
ting INTO bad odor and smelling to
high heaven and low 'tother place. It's
a stencil in my nostrils, and j don't
have to stick my nose into other peo-
pies business to get a whit to knock
me down. In some respects I amt a

widow running a refined and elegant
boarding house with all the comforts
of home, references exchanged. i amt
a DAILY man so much I guess, but
I'm for democracy and silver this trip
and don't you forget that. Clark can't
putrefy me-"
That's where you and I differ" said
the hardware clerk. II have no objec-
tons to being purified myself. On the
contrary 1 am more than willing to
be purified. / would cordially welcome

purifcation-or more II Mr.. Clark

to require it. ] feel perfectly confident
of my ability to handle that much pur-
ifcation. 1t would not discommode me
in the least. In fact. / feel like going
to Mr.. Clark and assuring him that 1t
would not put me to the slightest in
convenience. Mr.. Clark should not per-
NIT himself to entertain any fear of
overlooking me. i would not interpose
a single protest against taking SIC, 900
worth instead of IS. 200. AS long as /
am out to be purified. I want to give
Mr.. Clark every opportunity to make
a complete and thorough job of II. The
trouble is that Mr.. Clark regards me as
already purified. Just before the dem
ocratic primaries last September he
purified me SIS worth. n ever since
he seems to have entertained the
entirely erroneous idea that I would
stay purified"
Where you made your mistake"
said the law student, was in not get
ting on the silver republican ticket. II
you were a silver republican candidate
you could amass enough purity in a
day TO live on comfortably the rest Of
your life. Don't l wish / were on that
