The Modus OPerandi.
States.

States.
Here is how it is done: In Mon
tans q few days ago member OF
the Legislature displayed $40, goo,
which, he said, had been provided
to compass the defeat OF one can
didate and the election of another.
In California q son of the late
Gen. u. S. Grant is an aspirsnt
for senatorial honors. Howard Z.
Wright, the speaker of the lower
branch of the Legislature, is quo
ted in an interview as admitting
that he received money from U.
s Grant, or rather from Milton s.
Green, his political manager, with
the understanding that he should
support Mr.. Grants senatorial
candidacy. In all he received
81, $50 from Green. but now that
he is supporting Mr.. D. NJ. Burns
he intends to return the money he
received from Mr.. Grant through
Mr.. Green" California is big
and prosperous State, but the price
of votes for Senators fails far shot
of the quotations in little Monta.
ma, one of the mining camps. A
dispatch from Helena, in the lat
ter State, says that recently in the
open session of the Legislature.
Frederick Whiteside, Assembly
man from Flathead county, arose
to a question of privilege and in
clear, distinct tones said he had
been offered $4,000 to work for
W. A. Clark
And ell this goes to show that
the average politician is fired by q
noble ambition to go to Congress,
and especially to the upper house,
for the purpose of robbery. As
the salary will scarcely support
member If he and his family make
any pretensions to enter the social
swim, it seems clearly manifest
that he expects to more than re-
coup the purchase price of his seat
by profitable sale of his vote in
that body.
