lands. He has been my most bitter
enemy, following me with his malice for
years and without cause, but in this hour
of his suffering can truthfully say that
I hope for his speedy recovery. l wish
Mr.. DAILY no i'll, but for the good of Mon
tana and it's people. l certainly hope that
the last vestige of his influence out there
has been destroyed.
Ito the recent state convention, the
Dalyites sent contesting delegates from
Silver Bow, Deer Lodge and Ravalli
counties. Their claims received fair
consideration and were rejected, where
upon 65 Dalyites bolted and they will, |
doubt not, work for republican success.
When DAILY cannot rule he tries to ruin
and the same policy is being pursued by
his followers. DAILY has no strength out
side of the counties named above, where
the Amalgamated Copper company are
operating. He cannot defeat the demo-
Gratis, who will control the next legis-
lative assembly, as they did the last, and
l will again be elected to the United
States senate, though have no personal
desire to sit as a member of that body.
Zone man power and Anaconda cor
porate dominion is thing of the past,
SO far as the Montana democracy is con-
cerned. DAILY has rid himself of all his
business interests except his department

now in full control.
However, the DAILY tactics have been
@aken up by the new corners. Standard
Oil rules the republican party in Mon
tana; it's only hope with the democrats
is to bring about disruption, which it is
now trying to do. 1t will fail.
II am not asking favors Of my party.

take an active part in the campaign,
which will result in democratic success.
say l am not asking favors, but at the
same time it would be lodging facts to
say that l will not again be honored. All
Of the followers Of Marcus DAILY in Mon
CuIld CtHIlOU pICNCuU iio'
$50 many misstatements have been
made concerning the DalyClark feud
that l would like the Herald to give a
correct version of the affair. l was never
directly or indirectly interested in amy
business deal with him.
II always mistrustcd him, as do now.
In CT nc,
nominated as a delegate to congress by
the Montana democrats. DAILY promised
loyalty, He gave his promises to the
campaign managers and he even went
so far as to call my wife into his Office
and assure her that the reports of his
disloyalty were untrue. That was the
act of a coward. Days employees were
all compelled to vote for my republican
opponent or lose their positions. | was
defeated, and right then began the feud
between us.
when DAILY tried to take the state
capital to Anaconda l made it cost him
81 100000 and he failed in his attempt at
that. But even in my opposition to DAILY,
have nevor been guilty of party dis
loyalty. He, on the other hand, openly
boasts of having elected at least one re-
publican mayor and two republican
sheriffs. When Mantle was celebrating
his election as Mayor, DAILY told him in
the presence of a score of men that he
ought not to boast, as he would have
elected yellow dog had the republicans
named one that year. That is the kind
of man Marcus DAILY is, incidentally
he has made no contribution this year to
the democratic campaign fund, and if
the truth were known l do not doubt
that should he recover he would lend his
support to Mckinley.
"Daly men are now coming back into
the fold of the regulars. They are tired
of his bulldozing methods. He works
his men ten hours day, while those in
my employ work only eight hours. Hypo-
critic that he is, however, DAILY is always
talking about eight hour legislation and
his republican friends have declared in
favor of an eight hour law. His en-
ploycs are paid off through his depart
ment stores and those who do not run
bills of large proportions soon find them
themselves out of work. Legislation
against this form of robbery will be en-
acted in Montana next winter, hope.
"Dalys testimony before the senate
committee last winter was a tissue of
falsehoods. Not alone did he malign me,
but he even went SO far as to swear that
he had not the least malice against me.
Every one knows that was not true.
Marcus DAILY is now dying, the victim of
his own spleen. He is the most violent
tempered man have ever known"
HARRINGTON.
