Arizona republican., 1899-12-05

they have struggled for the control Of the state legislature, and the winner has sent whomever he chose to the sen ate of the United States. Daly has not cared to be a senator himself. but Clark wanted the honor. and so got himself elected . few months ago. However. he is by no means sure of retaining his seat for DIly charges bribery. and Ec is going io bring before the upper house q mass of evidence purporting to show that his rival se- cured the honor by wholesale corrup- ton.
 Clark lives in BUtte-a city Of 4),O9o inha bitants. and reputed to be the toughest place on earth. IL is typical mining town, run on the ''Uide-open system. and swarns with gamblers and other disraputable characters. Clark s residence is one of the sights, and wis itors are always taken to inspect 1t. the most remarkable thing about it be- ing it's lawn. This lawn is the only patch of green grass in Butte or it's reighborhood, and is kept up at great expense For such is the poisonous CT feet of the fumes Of sulphur and ar senic poured out from the copper smelling works that all vegetation thereabouts is killed. and it is inpos- sible to grow roses even in green houses Or the same account, no cat lives in Butte.
 Marcus DaIy lives in Anacoada-ar- other mining town twenty-sevel mics from Butte Indeed. these two places are the greatest copper camps in the world. DaIy was very anxious that
 l. col ~qFf faF state-that was while it was as yet territory seeking admission to the I-nion-and he strove nightly to that end. But Clark, of course, had another idea in view, and the fight between them over this question waXed to the very acme of bitterness. In Montana all the centers of population are boom towns. and to be made the capital would have been an immense advan- taee to any of them. Meanwhile, the territory could not become a state un- til 1t had a recognized seat of govern ,nent, and the dispute delayed the metamOrphCsis.
 Clark would have preferred to make Butte the capital, but the character Of the town was so notorious as to render this out of the question. So he choSe to aONOCaIe lnc Cldll1lS Ol IIGlGilei, S@-1ti then came the tug of war. At length, Q deadlock resulting, Daily and Clark agreed to refer the matter to a vote of the people. and, meanwhile. to recog- nize Helena. the territorial capital, as the seat Of government. After a tre- Inendous struggle, during which Mon tana was deluged with money. Clark triunphed. and Helena-far less desir- able than Anaconda for the purpose became the capital of the state.
 This was a sore blow to Daily, and the wound still ranl.les to such an ex- tent that he is said to be organizing a movement which has for it's o5.ect the splitting of Montana into two states, with Q line of cleavage that shall place Anacorda on one side and Helena on the other. Thus is the personal riv- airy of two men threatening actually to add another star to the flag of the Union and 10 place two more demo- cratic senators in the upper house. A strange phenomenon, truly!
 w 4. Clark, as might be supposed, is q typical westerner, of the rugged. rougn-ard-ready sort. He is well known in Washington, having been a frequent visitor to the lagit l .4f g the last few yeaSs. He was Bryan's principal packer during the last pres identiaI campaign, putting up large sum of money for the support of the silver tongued Nebraskan.
