uhinS needed IN Livingston so much lust
now as spring specific for that polit-
lcal tired feeling. Only few weeks
ago politics were mighty lively in these
parts, and a number of prominent cit
liens thrived and waxed fat on a plain
diet of senatorial sop, with an occas-
ional COB of taffy Or a stuffed promise.
Recently the diet of the local politi-
clans mas been tempered with and
anti-fat substituted for the appetizine
but delusive dishes which adorned the
political pie counter when the senatorial
fight was on. Some say the hopelu)
gentry who boosted for the Doodle cam
dldate for the United States senate
We're given the political Kelley cure
when they weren't looking, but be this
as 1t may there has been a marked
railing Off of the open and avoWpd
championship of w. A. Clark. At no
t'iie mas TINS been so marked as the
flrst of the week, when a circulator f,r
the Butte Miner showed up in this CITY
city, and started in to canvass the town
Tor the organ of the alleged senator
When he struck the court house he was
informed that the sheet was not taken
by any of the county officials and that
no self-respecting person would touch
the tfaltorous thing with a ten-foot
pole, The circulator hustled hard all
cay but found pretty light picking,
even among people who are financially
under the attenuated thumb of the
lath-llke aspirant for a senatorial seat,
Inc TACT of the matter is that people
mere are lighting shy of any sha re in
the deserved odium that is being heap
ca upon nearly all who assisted in the
election of the Butte boodler. This
ana the fact that many have asked for
bread and been given a stony stare
emily enough to frappe the Yellowstone
py the man who ran the currency bu-
reau at the capital is working wonders
IN weaving those who dotted on w. A.
Clark, in the hope Of having their af-
fection rewarded by cash equivalent
When clark was on easy street poit-
cally. Clark s heelers are coming 10
their senses and are giving the cause
OF the campaign corruptionist a severe
letting alone. Those who are not OBJ
posed to Clark S Campaign methods or
down on the Miner for it's switch to the
gold bug Ticket in the Butte municipal
election are soured on the smooth
workers who filled the pilgrims from
this city with creme de mints and spe-
clous promises during the senatorial
campaign. and t.snn gave them the cold
shoulder at she eleventh hour They
are tired of Clark and ashamed of he
part they took in his election. and what
is most needed among the former ad-
herents of the man who made promises
and kept them not is an acid that will
test golden political promises, and tell
whether they are the real thing or only
nice line of gold bricks gotten up TO
gull people Whc@e cup6ity and credul-
lty are their own worst enemies.
Monday evening the republican city
primaries We're held in this city, and
the delegateE selected for the CITY con-
vention, to be held Thursday afternoon.
and one alderman nominated from each
ward The First ward republican put
up w. FL. featon; the Second ward pri-
mary chose r. D. Alton, and the Third
ward people named Fred Brooks. None
of these men are particularly strong,
except Alton. who is regarded as a
hard man to beat, but his strength has
never been shown, and the question for
the Second ward voters to decide is not
by any means settled. The primaries
of the republicans were all we'll attend
ed. but it was plain to be seen that the
silver republicans had not gone back to
the administration party in as large
numbers as was expected and conf
denly predicted. Some Of the silver re-
puhl.cans are emphatic in their px-
pressions of support for the democratic
ticket, and many Of them came over
bodily into the democratic primaries
OF course some have gone back to the
administration party, but it is a matter
of congratulation among democrats
that the number of prodigals is so
small. Just who will be nominated for
mayor on either the democratic or le-
publican tickets is far from certain. NJ.
H. Lashorn is still mentioned as the
strongest man the republicans have,
and W: Q. Mallahan can have the nom
ination at the hands of the democrats.
If he wants it. Both are forcmen in
the Northern Pacific shops, and both
have strong following among the
company's employees. Alderman Leon
ard Goushner has resigned from the
city council, and will make the race for
city treasurer. He will be nominated
on the democratic ticket, and will make
the race against f. NJ. Sybert who will
get the nomination from the democrat
ic convention. Last evening the popI-
lists held a meeting at the city kali,
and nominated William Jones for al
derman OF the First ward, to succeed
himself. He VIII be Endorsed by the
democrats. the resignation of Goughner
from that ward making a vacancy on
their ticket.
