A Social Evening.

The ladies OF Chamberln Relief Corps
served a most excellent fish chowder
supper at q. A. r. Hall Friday evening.
Following this was the sale of variety
OF useful and fancy articles, ice cream
and cake and home made candies.
Instrumental music by Mrs. Stevens and
MISS Hovey and vocal selection well
rendered by Mrs. Locke, added much to
the enjoyment of the evening.
Inc guessing on the name of the
masked lady created some pleasure and
excitement and the promenade was
enjoyed by Doth old and young.
It can well be said that the first supper
ana sale OF the season was a success both
socially and financially.

ss~OR political reasons the Inter
Mountain is opposed to the
election of Mr.. Clark" So
says Senator Nantes newspaper.
Here is really the greatest surprise
of the campaign. Nobody in Butte has
suspected that the Inter Mountain was
opposed to Mr.. Clark; indeed, there
have never appeared any grounds for
the suspicion. The Inter Mountain sue
ceeded at last in delivering all its
goods-the entire silver republican vote
is now registered for Clark. This was
not accomplished without some trouble;
the fourth and last man came particu-
larly hard, but he was finally landed.
The four silver republicans switched
to Clark singly, at intervals of several
days, yet there has never appeared in
the Inter Mountain a single line of pro-
test against silver republicans desert
ing their party and voting for Clark.
There has never appeared in the Inter
Mountain a single line exhorting the
silver republicans to stand by their
party or a single line in criticism of
them for not doing so. One after the
other they have gone to Clark and the
professed silver republican organ in
Butte has made no comment of an ad-
verse character.

"for political reasons it is opposed to

votes should be rejected. That outrage
dfsfranchised just enough Flathead
voters to throw Whiteside out
1t had been agreed at the outset, Ky
the members Of this committee, that
the canvass should be conducted in the
spirit of the rulings of the supreme
court of Montana, on questions involv-
ing the election law. The position of
the supreme court is we'll known to
the public; that court was called upon
to deal with disputes that arose
as an incident to the use of
Montanas cumbersome ballot. The
court held, in general, that it was not
for the counters to draw too fine the
letter of the law but to take account
of the manifest intention of the voter,
in all cases where that was indisputa-
bly, clear. The Clark ma jority mam-
bers of the senate committee started
out on that plan. 1t elected Whiteside,
beyond the possibility of dispute, so
they abandoned the plan, and, of
course, the senate, where the repuoli-
cans and Clark democrats are a major
ity, approved this theft of a senate
seat.
1t is off the same piece with the rest
Of the Clark operations in Helena. 1t
is simply one more manifestation of
the brutal methods to which bribery
resorts in exploiting its schemes. 1t
unseats a democrat, by the connivance
Of democrats, for the benefit of rich
man who, posing as an alleged demo-
crat, stops at no crime in his insane
pursuit of the senatorship.

full remembrance by the people of this
state when nothing will be left of W. A.
. Clark except the offending recollection
pof his criminal traffic in mems souls
and his indecent assault upon the integ-
.rrity of Montana manhood!
Fred Whiteside is one of the men
whom Montana will yet crown-the
men who laid before the legislature of
this state the indisputable proofs of
'Clark's high crime. in his effort to buy
an Office to which. but for his money,
his aspiration would be treated in pub
lic opinion, with universal scorn. Like
a lot of hounds from hell, the Clark
hirelngs have been in full pursuit of
Whiteside and his associates in the ex-
posure of bribery-the especial zeal of
these hirelings has been to fasten their
fangs on Whiteside.
What have these crime-cursed pur-
suers been able to accomplish? To be
sure, Whiteside is most dishonesty de-
prived of his senate seat; but the crime
he exposed is there, just the same, as
fragrant, as vicious, as henious as ever;
and the proofs of the crime are there,
Nnchallenged, unerring-within full
view of all the citizens of Montana;
and millions upon millions of Clark's
money can never blot them out!
There'n come a day-it will not be a
distant day-when even those whom
bribery influences now, as though they
were under the spell of some evil
genius, will join in the public denun-
Citations that will make forever in
famous in the annals of Montana the
Clark bribery campaign of the year
1899. 1t is bound to come, unless, indeed,
we are all prepared to admit that
benceforth Montana is not to be decent.
1t will come; it will be Fred Whitesides
day. How ample and how magnificent
lis revenge will be!

1t Was a Helena Grand Jury.

Fl S it was given out by Clark's
heelers, the grand jury in Hell
ena-a city already Infamous for
dts former dishonest grand juries-was
fixed up to bring an indictment against
Whiteside.
1t was known long ago .-at it wasn't
anywhere within the purpose or inten-
ton of this grand jury to indict the
real criminals in the senatorial bribery
matter. The leading business men"
in Helena and the women who ride in
First National-bankruptcy carriages
undertook to see to it that, in any
event, that wasn't done. Mr. Clark had
done so much for Helena, you know.
Really he mustn't be permitted to ex-
perience anything unpleasant-not in
Helena-whether he was a branded
briber or not. O. no, it would never
do-Helena owed so much to him.
Everybody knew, days ago, that the
bribe-givers would not be indicted. but
the heelers had it in mind for time
that they could get an indictment
against one at least of the men who
rendered this state a memorably-gr great
service by exposing the bride business
and the friends of honesty had ardently
hoped that this plan would carry.
Repeatedly, while this matter was
hanging fire fundamentally long in the
grand jury room, the Standard pleaded
for the indictment either of those ac-
cused of bribery or of those who
brought the accusation. If the trans
action in the grand jury room had been
honest, one of these two things must
have been done.
Because, either there was bribery on
Clark's part or conspiracy on the part
The Anaconda standard. [volume] (Anaconda, Mont.) 1889-1970, 1899-01-27

of Whiteside and his associates. The
indictment of Whiteside would have
given an opportunity, somewhere in
this state where the corrupting in
f1uence of Clark's gold is not universal,
to test the evidence, to try on their
merits the sworn charges of crime.
That is exactly what isn't wanted by
the bribery outfit; it is afraid to face
the charges. The result is marvel
the grand jury indicted nobody! Read
what Montana's attorney general has
to say in reference to this grand jury;
what he said the Standard prints this
morning-we wager that none Of the
Clark papers will print it.
The summing up of this grand jurys
work is that its course is sneaking.

charges stand, and more fully convinced
than ever the people of Montana will
be. this morning, that Senator Clark
of Madison. Senator Myers of Ravalli
and Senator Whiteside of Flathead
witnessed to the attested truth when,
under oath, they produced thirty thou
sand dollars of w. A. Clark's money,
placed it before the two houses of the
legislature and declared that the money
was the price which w. A. Clark pro-
posed, as a bride, to give to them for
their votes.

CHUCK coNNoRS' BALL.
All De Guys Is Gettin' Ready to Spiel at
De Big Event.


From the New York Press.
Barring death and the police-Chuck
Connors doesn't care for taXes-the an
nual ball of the mayor of Chinatown
will happen in Tammany hall on Friday
night, anywhere from the janitor at 7
p m. to the janitor at a. m. He gets
both the first and last guess, barring, of
course, the police.
In the cards announcing the date of the
ball only one special feature is adver-
tised. The others take place without pre-
liminaries. This feature is 1.-THE Hard
Walk, otherwise an exhibition of the
toughest kind of walk, the reverse of all
the teachings of physical culture and the
graceful movements of the Delsartians.
Among the other troubles of the evening
will be that caused by the awarding of
the prize. Chuck will be one of the con-
testants, and he is going to trot out a
mysterious side-wheeler as his "podner"
as big Mary" is too hefty and 1.-THE
Rummager'' is In temporary retirement
on Blackwell's island.
This is one of Chuck's annual trials.
Somehow, in fixing the date for his ball.
he can never hit the fleeing. brief, eva
nescent period when 1.-THE Rummager"
isn't scrubbing floors on the island. He is
particularly sore this time, as with her
on his arm there is no doubt where the
prize for the toughest walk out would
go. When she walks she walks all over.
But Chuck says he will do the best he can
with the unknown entry, "a sidewheeler
loidy."
His most formidable opponent will be

cry. They are rivals and the dead line
Is closely drawn where the power of one
ends and the other begins. Chuck's gen.
erosity in inviting big Az to the ball
means he has an inside tip on his rival $
partner. 1t is said "she gets dopey too
early in the game"

Whiteside's Seat.

LARK'S campaign of bribery had
~ hardly been inaugurated when
1t was announced that his sup
porters proposed raid on the seat oc-
cupied by Whiteside in the state senate
The Clark bribery aggregation is afraid
of Whiteside. He is man whose cour-
age they will not lightly dispute. He
was onto their game He exposed them.
They have every reason to hate him,
as any criminal might hate honest men.
So the scheme was to GUST Whiteside.
That was possible because, when it
comes to throwing out democrats, the
senate republicans were willing to lend
a hand in any scheme which the Clark
supporting democrats might devise in
that line
These democrats started out to I'M
seat a democrat whose highly credita-
BILE offense is that he publicly posted
w. A. Clark as a bribe-giver and prov
ed the charge. At the time of the cleo
tion, last November it transpired that
the race for the state senatorship was
an extremely close one. The count made
at the time was performed, in view of
the narrow margin, with the utmost
care; the recount made by the senate's
order proves that The sum and sub
stance of it all is that Whiteside had
the. honest majority-he never would
have been disturbed if he had permitted
himself to be bribed to vote for W. A.
Clark.
The senate committee appointed to
