tana.

Special to the Bee
Livingston, Oct. II. The Independent
democratic campaign was opened here
tonight by Mr.. Hogan and G. +. Kelly,
candidates for congress. The meeting

which forecast splendid victory for the

he took occasion to deny the truth of an
article published in the Livingston
Post, stating that he had sold out his
newspaper to the opposition for $1,000.
Hogan called upon the man who wrote
it to bring proof. Editor Anderson arose
and said he could produce the man who
stood sponsor to the story. produce
him." said Hogan, and, 10 and behold,
who should rise out Of the audience but
that irrepressible blatherskite, Pat
Meaney. Meaney said that he had been
told the story by another man. Hogan
was pale with anger, and flung the words
in his teeth, and declared he still owned
the paper and referring to Meaney with
scorn, he cried: 1.-The man who makes
this accusation against me was once an
honest man and friend of mine, but he
is now living example of the corrupting
influences of Clark's methods in politics.

That They Recognized Clark at Kansas
CITY.
Helena, Oct. 8.-Politicians of the
democratic party are concerned over the
recognition of Marcus DAILY by no less a
high authority than the national associa-
tion of democratic clubs. w. A. Clark
has been a member of the association in
the past and that fact made the election
of Marcus DAILY as treasurer all the more
important. Members of the Independent
democracy in Montana are of the opinion
that the election means that the national
leaders we're sorry they had recognized
the Clark faction at the Kansas City
convention last July and were trying to
make amends.
1T means simply recognition of Mr..
DAILY instead of the other individual"
said Governor Smith. The fact that
Clark has been member of the associa-
ton in the past and has been to some
pains to preserve his influence there
makes the election of Mr.. DAILY all the
more pointed"

independent Democratic Central Com
mittee: -..
"Gentlemen:-I have been advised
that was duly nominated for the legis-
lative assembly at your convention held
in Kalispell September %, 1900. This
was contrary to my wishes, as l am not
seeking office, and so informed those
who waited on me on the morning of
said convention. If had had any idea
that my name was going to be proposed
in the convention, after my declining to
run, would surely have been present
and declined at the convention.
MANY of you are aware that I was
asked by many to accept the nomination
for sheriff, and if I had been wishing
Office would surely run for an Office
that would make me living. Another
reason why do not wish to accept this
nomination is that l cannot afford to
make campaign for an Office that has a
salary of but $500.
Therefore, gentlemen, beg you to
accept this as my resignation, and thank
ing you very kindly for the compliment
paid me by nominating me by acclama-
ton, am, with best wishes for your sue
cess, yours truly, A. j. BURNEs.
