MERSCHEIM WANTS MORE LAW
Motion for New Trial In His Damage
Suit and Divorce Pro-
ceedings Also.

Carl Merscheim, who recently lost his
$4,000 damage suit against August Arriens,
alleging alienation of his wife's affection,
will have another bout with the law.
In addition to his motion for new trial,
which is pending, Merscheim Is arranging
divorce proceedings. The petition is in
course OF preparation and the chief basis
will probably be the alleged relations Of
Mrs. Merscheim with Arriens. 1t is ex-
pected that the papers will be filed within
the next few days.
In the motion for a new trial, which, If
granted, will make the third trial Of the
damage suit, the plaintiffs attorney sets
forth alleged errors in the rulings of Judge
Slabaugh. Numerous exceptions were noted
during the last trial, mainly based on the
exclusion of evidence which Merscheims at
torney sought to bring before the jury.
Judge Slabaugh granted nearly a week to
the second trial OF the case, saying that he
wanted to give both sides a fair hearing.
The jury at the first trial gave Merscheim
judgment for $1,000 and at the second trial
verdict for the defendant was rendered

REVIE THE FIGHT,

Immediate interest in the senatorial
election may abate but will not be en-
tirely lost, inasmuch as the anti-Clark
men have given formal notice Of their in
tention to carry the light into the senate
of the United States. This means that
lative halls in Helena may be indefinitely
prolonged in a new forum. That every
effort will be made to prevent Mr.. Clark
from taking his seat in that body no one
will doubt. Both Mr.. Whiteside and Mr..
Mats, the two forensic leaders of the
anti-Clark wing of the democracy, served
notice on the public from the floor of the
joint assembly that Mr.. Clark would
never be permitted to represent this state
in the senate, and it is generally under
stood that the work of erecting the bar
riers is already under Roadway.
Claiming to have positive evidence that
bribery was resOrted to in the election of
Mr.. Clark, the Anaconda people will
naturally feel that public judgment
should be suspended until the next chap
ter is written in the history of the great
political controversy. That broad spirit
of magnanimity-that deep seated re-
spect for fair ~play-that refused to con-
fsrnn Mr.. Clark in advance of a hearing
the charges had been referred by the
joint assembly, will now accord to his
enemies the same kindly consideration OF
public patience and dispassionately await
the developments they propose to make
in the court of last resort. The statement

1t is fair to assume that the democratic
feud in this state will not cease to agitatC
and disturb its people, and scandalize it:
Sair name abroad, until each faction Of

Various motives contributed to the

bers of the joint assembly, and this with
out reference to the old asperities of the
capital campaign which operated to some
degree in Helena. Much of the Clark SEN
timent would have been diverted to some
other prominent Butte man had one been
named by the delegations from this and
Deer Lodge counties.
! Whether the administration republican
members of the joint assembly who voted
for Mr.. Clark were actuated by the senti-
ments to which we have referred, or by
the considerations named by the Ana
conda Standard, remains to be Demon
strated by the future when the clouds Of
passion have rolled away and the truth
shines forth clearly in the light of an
Impartial analysis of the work performed.
From the standpoint of a party advan-
tage, however, they made a great mis-
would have demonstrated the inability of
the democratic party, with 60 majority
on joint ballot, to elect a senator, and
forever retired that political organization
from power in this state.
Moreover, it would have prevented the
addition of another silver man to the
senate and weakened the cause to that
extent, in line with the present financial

BILE for the election of Mr.. Clark, and may
compel their party, in self-defense, to
less of the motives that inpclled them to
vote as they did.
Insofar as the silver republican legis-
lators are concerned, they naturally fall
back on the statement that they voted
for a man who is in full sympathy with
the paramount issue, while the only
course otherwise left open to them was
to support Mr.. Conrad, who is accredited
with the belief of the Anaconda Standard
that the ratio of IS to 1 is not material
to the issue, and who, if elected, might
have been a party to a political compro-
mise that would eliminate the question
from the campaign of 1900.
Had the democratic opponents of Mr..
Clark favored the candidacy of some
man fully in sympathy with the silver
cause, it is fair to assume, in view of
the character of the controversy waged
in Helena, that the few silver republican
votes in the legislature would not have
gone to Mr.. Clark as the last resort. But

On the theory that misfortunes never
come singly the anti-Clark men made an
other error of considerable magnitude in
the combination effected with Mr.. Con-
rad. The positive strength of that gentle
man, outside the votes thrown him by the
Anaconda people, amounted to little-far
less thar a mar like Mr.. Maginnis could
have commanded at the outset, had Can
rad played q lone hand at the beginning.
The voluntary contribution to the Con-
rad candidacy was a large one and should
have implied an understanding whereby
an honorable retreat could have been
made without injury. Apparently no
such understanding was had, and when
the only safety of the Anaconda people
was to turn to some Butte man of prom
inence they were met by the threat of the
small Conrad contingent to go to Clark
and insure his election.
Mismanagement placed them between

But while the anti-Clark men made
many mistakes of a political character,
and seriously embarrassed themselves at
the outset by overestimating their capac-
ity to control affairs, they had a serious
problem to confront. Many agencies be-
yond their control contributed to the
creation of a public sentiment in Mr..
Clark's behalf. In the first place, the
senatorial toga was conceded to Butte by
reason of the population and prominence
of this city in the industrial and business
life of the state. This fact in itself gave
Mr.. Clark an initial ~dvantag that was
used with good effect by his advocates as
the fight progressed, and it became evil
