again ON the final ballot, but made
fizzle of it. Every reader of the Stand
ard remembers what feeling Of popu-
lar indignation swept over the state
when the methods of the Clark cam
paign were revealed The renegade re-
publicans themselves were so fright
ened that thy flew back to their own
party next day and the ballot found
Clark with 20 votes, SO being necessary
to elect.
During the closing fortnight of the
fight the excitement was intense.
Prominent democrats of the state out
side Of the factions that had been act
ing in the strife did everything in their
power to effect compromise, and the
supporters of Judge Dixon were ready
to join cheerfully and earnestly in the
movement, and to elect any good demo-
crat. Men of national fame in democ-
racy earnestly urged compromise, but
Mr. Clark refused. insisting that he was
sure of an election. The final ballot
was surprise. for the reason that it
revealed the identity of two men who
knew all the privacies Of the opposition
and who to the very end had been in
the condolences OF their respective fac
tons. They had been among the loud
est in denunciation of MI. Clark's
methods. Bonner of Deer Lodge and
Graves Of Silver Bow played their parts
with consummate hypocrisy. Their mo-
tives had never been doubted by any
man in Montana. The final vote was
the browning blunder in Clarks Doodle
campaign. Mr. Clark supposed he had
it, but he fell fiat. In that ballot, how
ever, all the legislative faith was
brought to the surface and exposed to
view The final ballot was as follows:
Whole number Of votes, SO; necessary

plaintiff, it went over. Perhaps the
case will keep, although it appears that
the defense in this effigy case was pre-
pared to go ahead with the trial.
The preliminaries were all squareiy
planned; Beasley accused certain Of his
townsmen of the effigy work and
charged upon them the authorship of
the little texts and proverbs and COM
ments that adorned the mock hanging.
The answer in behalf of the defendants
was that they We're the men who did

THE WAY THINGS WENT At M|SSOULA
That Was Quinn's Fight He Made Tt Without Hep-He
Did It Because He Was Opposed to Fusion
and Clark Wasn't in It.

1t may be that one Of these days a
writer will be found who will deem it
worth while to write the history Of the
state conventions that were held by
Montana democrats and that came in
for mention in the conspiracy" testi-
mony given last week by the supporters
of John B. Welcome. There was the
Missoula convention, for instance, held
in 1896. 1t was mentioned with a good
bit of contempt last week, by several
of the Welcome witnesses, as a DAILY
convention"
One thing is certain--the Missoula
convention was not a Clark convention.
Nv. A. Clark was present, but he had a
seat with the spectators. He had tried
TO elect the delegates for Silver Bow
county, but he lost that county, as al
ways he has lost it, time out of mind.
John M Quinn was a member of the
Silver Bow delegation; place had been
accorded him by 1.-The Dalyites." who,
at the time, deemed it right and proper
that Mr.. Quinn should sit in the con-
yention, in spite of the fact that, as
the editor of w. A Clarks newspaper,
he was with the side that lost when the
Silver Bow delegation to the Missoua
convention was elected
Everybody who knows anything
about Montana politics knows that
! Quinn was a sturdy fighter and that
he would lead forlorn hope with the
fortitude of one who felt himself to be

Quinn stirred up the biggest kind of a
row. Practically the delegation from
his own county was dead against him.

jects--the unit rule, fusion and the like,
which the other side was attempting to
enforce. ..=,
Quinn had good following. The
current belief was that his success on
a test vote would mean his nomination
for member of congress in that very
convention. Quinn couldn't win the
absurd part Of it all was that when
the test came, about so per cent. of the
members of the Lewis and Clarke dele
cation voted with the "Dalyites." 1t
was the oldest thing out Clark had
been parading in his numerous self-pre-
pared biographies the assertion that he
saved the capital for Helena.
The truth is that Clark couldn't toll
crate the thought of a congressional
nomination for Quinn or for anybody
else, except Clark himself. The truth
also is that Quinn really did more with
his pen for Helena than Clark did with
all his money. Helena's debt really was
to Quinn, but Quinn was like the rest
of them-he had been foolish enough
to believe that Clark would be willing
to recognize loyal, helpful service. That
is something which, in his lifetime, W
A. Clark never did-that isn't hie build
or bert, as Quinn learned by pretty sour
experience.
Fusion prevailed in the Missoula con-
vention. The ticket there nominated
swept the state and, practically, no
campaign was made for it's success It
elected itself: Montana sent all her
democratic orators into other states
that year to advocate free coinage and
speak for Bryan.

HOW It WAS IN THE YEAR 1898
WHEN CLARK FELL down HARD

The Joint session of the legislature
which met in 1898 held its first meeting
for the election of a. senator on Tues
day, Jan. 10. The total membership of
the legislature was II. There were &C
members present at the first meeting.
The result of the vote was: Sanders,
81; Clark, 16; Dixon s; Hauser, 6; Ma
ginnis, 2: Smith, 1; Mulville, 8.
In all, As ballots We're taken at that
session Sanders held the republican
strength through 81 ballots, when the
republicans took up Mantle. He held
most of the republican vote to the I'm
ish. Sanders was repeatedly within
three Of the number of votes necessary
to a choice. Ex-Governor Hauser re-
tired after the first ballot. his vote go
ing to Clark. Mulville, populist, was in
the contest during the first six ballots.
On the fifth Beecher went to Collins.
The two other populists went to Dixon
Beecher voted for Collins until the 10Th
ballot, when he went over to Clark.
The 10Th ballot was the first to reveal
the attempt of the Clark faction to buy
! UP republicans. Plans for this vote
were very adroitly made through pairs.
1t was Saturday. Feb. IL. Six repub-
licans and six democrats were paired.
OF these democrats three We're Clark
men and three We're Dixon men, Thus,
by sparing three of his men, Clark got
rid of three Dixon men and six repub-
licans, and the vote revealed the fact
that Clark had secured FIVE republic
cans. These were Annear. Benson
Burns. Coder and Lewis. Fifty-nine
| members were present. With 30 neces-
! sary to elect, Clark got 81, Dixon g.
Mantle % and Sanders 1. On that day
Clark really came nearer winning than
at any other time during the contest
! The republicans had not been warned
| Of the treachery in their camp. The
| job was well put up, but not quite well
| enough. The Clark people themselves
said that some of the republicans they
had secured failed to deliver the goods.
1t was game that could not be worked
twice. The Clark people tried it on

There's another phase of senatorial
politics that, according to the docket
of the district court in Sweet Grass
county, ought in the regular order Of

1886, so in regard to the democratic
state convention of 1SeS-the refer
ences to it by the Welcome witnesses,
last week, were Of the sneering kind
lit was a convention run by the
Daily outfit" so testified Ex-Governor
Toole. The Anaconda state convention
of last year was the one which first
of all had the question of fusion to
deal with. 1t was insisted by a very
large number of the delegates that
the democrats must go it alone. AS
usual W. A. Clark's faction had tried
to get the Silver Bow delegation in
this convention and, as usual, Clark
had failed to get them.
The strength of what the Welcome
witnesses describe as the DAILY out
fit" was shown in the vote by which
the convention voted to consider fu-
sion by appointing a committee, of
which John r. Toole was chairman,
to consult with the then so-called sill
yer republicans and with what was left
of the populists in regard to a fusion s
of this committee, reported that no
plan for fusion, on a basis that was
just to Montana democracy, seemed
possible.
Instantly there was buzz in regard
TO a candidate for the office of member
of congress. AT first it looked quite
like the selection of Martin Maginnis.
But Lewis and Clarke had even re
fused him the paltry honor Of seat
in its delegation in the state conven-
ton. From Eastern Montana came
the suggestion of Campbell, the per-
manent president of the state conven-
ton. Instantly several Lewis and
Clarke men began whooping up for
Campbell. Like Billy" Clark of Mad
ison county, Campbell had always
been against the Dalyites. Both of
them fought hard for Helena for the
capital. In state conventions they had

He's the Req. Hannah

Gaze now at the moral and intellect
ual lineaments of the Rev. William J.
Hannah, state senator from Sweet
Grass county; note his retrospective
cast of countenance; observe that
broad and scholarly brow. that austere
nose, that ascetc mouth, that sancti-
monious beard, that long and rever-
ent ear, that sanity pose of head.
Could ever carnal thought occur to such
a man? His very air smells of the
cloister. You could imagine Hannah
in a friars cold, underground CELL NOR
tifying and macerating his naked flesh
by unmerciful fagellation, only paus-
ing at long intervals to array himself
in sackcloth and ashes, and groan aloud
his paternosters.
Or you could imagine Hannah grid
ing up his loins and going forth to
wrestle nightly with Apollyon, Belize
bub, Belial, Lucifer, Zamiel and the
rest of the cloven- hoofed powers and
princes of darkness, hurting them all
and singly back into the bottomless pit
whence they came. Or you could mag

GOMEZ AN ALLY
OF AMERICANS
Cuban Commander in Chief Pledges
Himself to Aid in Securing the
Disbandment of the Army.

REMEDIES, Santa Clara, Cuba, Feb. l.,
via Hayana, Feb. 7.-Maximo Gomez,
commander-in-chief of the Cuban army,
placed himself squarely inia position to-
day as an active ally of the United
States government in the work of recon-
struction in Cuba.
As the result of a conference which
Robert P. Porter, special commissioner
of President Mckinley, has had with
Gomez, the latter cabled to President
Mckinley this afternoon assuring him
of his cooperation in disbanding the
Cuban army and distributing among the
Cuban soldiers 10000 appropriated
for the purpose of enabling them to re-
turn to their homes. Gomez also tele-
graphed to Major General Brooke, say-
ing he would accept the latter's invi-
tation to go to Havana.
The success of Porter's mission greatly
simplifies the returning of military Gu
bans to pursuits of peace. In view OF
Gomez supposed prior attitude of hos
tility toward the United States, Porter
came here clothed with absolute author
! ity and his tender of $4,000, 900 was
practically verbal ultimatum. Had it
not been accepted no more proposals
would have been made.
/ In brief, the compact is as follows:
First--The Cuban officers in each
province shall assist the American Off
GERS in distributing the funds.
Second-These officers shall at once
meet at some convenient point and de-
wise when and where settlements are to
be made and arrange any other details.
Third-The sum paid to each man
shall not be regarded as part payment Of
salary or wages due for services rendered
/ but to facilitate disbandment of the
army, IN relief of suffering and to aid in
getting people to work.
Fourth-The Cubans shall surrender
their arms to the Cuban assembly or to
its representatives.
Fifth-The committee on distribution
shall use its best endeavors to distribute
the money among the population so all
may secure work.
Sixth-The So ,OoO, 900 shall be placed
subject to the order of General Brooke
and action in the matter shall be iIn-
mediate.

Hone KONG, Feb. 2.-The Filipino
members of the joint commission at Ma
Mia have demanded the release of the
launches seized by the Americans; also
that they be allowed to float the Filipi-
no. flag in the waters of the Philippines.
Gen. Otis is said to be in favor of grant

the smuggling of arms into the islands.
He also wishes to avert, if possible, a
torpedo attack. The use of the Filipino
flag will permitted on shore. The mill
tary and the police almost daily seize
quantities of rifles and ammunition.
The city is thoroughly patrolled, es-
pecially at night. The Filipino tele-
graph Office has been closed by the
Americans, having learned that the
wires were being used to transmit Gen.
Otis secret orders to the Filipino lead
ers.
Two guns of Utah battery have been
mounted. There is no evidence that.the
Filipinos intend to begin hostilities, but
it is practically certainty that they
will resist if the Americans attempt to
force matters.
The radical independence element
now dominates the Filipino government.
Since the killing of the Filipino officer
by Minnesota soldier, American Off
GERS have not ventured outside of Ma
Mia. Foreigners are not permitted 10
