Not All On One Side.

(EfODl LIBBY news lSepuDilCau.D
The democratic state convention |
has met and adjourned and its results
can be summed up in very few
words. The friends of W. A. Clark |
were found IN an overwhelming ma
joriiy. The Daily Amalg gamated-Ana
conda wing of the party bolted, as
they had intended to all along, aud
will put an independent ticket. The
democrats fused with the populists as
they have in former campaigns, but
the labor party, after flirting with fu-
will 60 it alone.
These results amply jus tify the stat
ments made in these columns some
months ago. The political department
of the Arnalgamated Copper company
some months ago, seeing that it was
sure to lose control of the democratic
party went after control of republican
party, and got it. Their wing of demo-
cracy now bolts and puts up an inde-
pendent ticket for the purpose of divid-
| ing democratic support and electing the
republican ticket
The News wishes that it could bring
to thesurvey of the present political
conditions of the state the freshness
and enthusiasm of the Ka1ispell Inter-
| Lake, for the honesty and ability in
which we have all respect. Long resi-
| dence in the state and intimate knowl-
edge of its political conditions prevent
us fl ON doing so. Could a clear issue
be drawn between political prostitu-
ton and corruption on the one side,
and political purity and chastity on
the other, there can be no question as
to where every good citizen would take
his stand, and as to what the najorit y
of the votes of Montana would decide,
Unfortunately, no such plain distinc.
ton can be drawn. To the republi-
tan who declai1ns against Clark cor
ruption, the democrat can retort that
the present republican incumbent Sc
cured his seat by purchase. There was
no difference in method between Car
ter's election and Clark's, except that
the former used smaller amounts OF
money, more gold bricks, greater dis
cretion, and some checks that were
afterwards refused at the bank
Neither are these statements new, fol
they have been made in open court, by
Colonel Sanders, and they have gone
unchallenged.
Some day there may be an election
in Montana in which decency in poll
tics will be arrayed against all the
other elements, but it will not be ir
this year of our Lord, 1900.
So far as Bill Clark is concerned, h.
was prominent figure in Montan;
democracy before the use of money il
politics became the rule. The indis
criminate use of money to win poiiti
cal fights in this state, originated witt
the Anaconda outfit. The writer ha
: heard Mr., Daily himself, in the OF,
: days when he used to get his skin full
of wine, boast that he had elected thi
or that man land had the stubs t
show for it, That was a stock ex
preston with him. Clark was defeat
ed by these methods time and again
t He finally started QUITO distribute
: little cash of his own on the sam
!; lines, and the crowd that forced hin
e to do it is now playing the baby act
They will not get any general sym
pathy from the public.
