Daily inter mountain. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1881-1901, 1899-03-17
PER MANENTLY DIVIDED,

Since the unanimous adoption Of reso-
buttons branding senator-elect Clark as
a criminal, by the democratic city con-
vention. the old war between the two
factions of the democracy has been re-
stunned with extraordinary violence. The
olive branch presented by Mr.. Clark, in
the public suggestion that the contro-
versy should end and the democratic
factions should get together, was used
for kindling wood by the anti-Clark fac
ton, and the fires of revenge are burning
brightly upon their affairs.
The peace offerings of the Clark men
having been rejected with scorn and de-
rision, they officially announce through
the columns of the Miner their readiness
to resume hostilities and keep up the war
until the crack of doom. The public,
grown lonesome for journalistic pepper
sauce since the adjournment of the legis-
1ature, can now anticipate copious sup
plies of democratic embalming fluid from
the thought cylinders of our morning
contemporaries.
The more pious and sedate newspapers
of the Inter Mountain type had hoped
that the storm would subside, after each
wing of the democracy had celebrated the
end of the senatorial contest with blue
points, quail on toast, edam cheese an6
champagne. The Clark men celebrated
the fact that no money vas wasted or
the Silver Bow delegation, and the anti.
Clark men celebrated the same thing
The cerebral exercises at each banquet
bespoke a reunited democracy, and te
outsiders it seemed that the celebrated
case of political erysipilas had at Least
retired from the surface of the body poll
tic, for the time being. 1t was believed
that the functional arrangement would
be held down until the fight opened il
the senate chamber. But such was no
the case.
While the two wings of the democrat,
could join hands in passing gambling
bills, prize-fighting bills, corporation bills
and that sort of thing, in the closing
hours of the legislature, they found it i'm
possible to lie under the same counter
pane in the city campaign in Butte. Il
this bailiwick the anti-Clark men tool
the male bovine by the horns. They as
serted themselves. While they did no
proud and stuck-up, they refused to per
nit the Clark men to rub up against ther
in a political convention. Hence, tn

Mr.. Smythe "Tangied" UP.
My Dear MIR. Leslie

My Dear Mr. Leslie:
You will pardon an old Democrat
and the founder of your paper for
Calling attention to an apparent dis
crepency in last weeks News. You
saw in one column that there seems
nothing else to do but to call a con
vention and nominate true demo
crot." In another column you suggest
and invite the candidacy Of such
prominent gentlemen as Spratt,
Gillespie and Hartman and insist
that MIR. Nj, l.. Peery has the oual.
ifications to fill the bill. have spent
some anxious hours and lost flesh
over this tangled up situation. Is it
possible that after all these years the
CLINCH VALLEY News has so far de-
parted from its traditions as to hone
after the nomination (and sure cleo
tion) of Republican? In other
words does the present management
OF the Democratic organ prefer the
election of IA member of the d uni
nant party, who would have no
vote in the eau us rather than a
Democrat who might vote for Tyler!
Respectfully, but anxiously yours.
Harry NJ S,O-rup
We regret that our remarks should
have caused our friends "apxious
hours" and particularly deplore the
TACT that he 'lost flesh" thereby
If he will only keep cool, this "tan.
gled up situation" will untangle it
self. As a matter of fact we did not
invite the candidacy of either of
the gentlemen mentioned or referred
to in our editorial. Why MIR. Smythe
Is anxious that the Republicans shall
not make nomination is clear when
1t is remembered that he is a cand;.
date himself and so far as n vote for
Tyler is concerned, it makes little
difference whether Tyler Democrat
or Tyler Republican be elected
from Tazewell. BY the way, it ,uay
not be out Of place to ask whe;
our friend became such an enthu.
siastic Tyler man? His sudden con.
version is little mysterious and
contrary to the traditions" of few
months ago, when he Was associated
with this paper.

was said In n recent editorial, of IN

ed by Rev. j. 5. French, of t.is town.
The expression was, THAT III Christ
were to come to Tazewell, or VIr-

when he came to the Jews 1900
years ago" Our critic, who requests
that his name be withheld, pronounce
es the above utterance n Islander up
on the people of the State generally,
and of Tazewell in particular. SO
far from being a ISLANDER" We do
not believe the above statement was
even AN exageration. The statement
was meant to apply to society as a
whole, and not to individuals. When
the Savior came, 1900 years ago,
there were few devout people look,
ing and praying for his coming and
who gave him royal welcome There
may be, and doubtless are, some
among us of the same mind, among
whom, we infer, is our friend, who
takes us to task. But as "A naticn
they did not welcome Him because
his teaching, his code of moral. civil
political and religious life, was
against them from beginning to end.
In sll candOr, we ask our friend, are
we better today than were Gods
chosen people 1900 Years ago? Is
our home life, religious or civil or
political life more Christlike than.
that of the Jews? We know more,
are more highly cultured" perhaps

ciety, or individuals either, to whom
Jesus Christ would be a welcome
member or associateg We readily
admit that, if true, this is a deplora-
bic state, but If there is one thing
which seems to be clearly true it is
that the mujority of the people, not
here only, do not want Jesus Christ
to come to Judge them now. "Well,
