THE CASE OF
SENATOR QUAY.

NV"' ''"iNh a.-lSpeciall-
IL the vote taken last week on tak,,
up the quay case is any lndicauo,
would be apparent that the ssb,,. L.
about to reverse Itself and seat ssb,,.
quay on the appointment OF IN. >,
ernor- This would be a most ipls,.s
Ing spectacle, as the Senate MIA,
Itself upon its traditions and adhs,.,,.
to precedents, 1t must be aeknoul
edged that the change already maj.
Gated and which may be carried sr
when the vote is reached, is due ar,.l,
to the strong personal frlehd,ss
which senators have FOR Mr. op,v
Although II Is wholly consttutor'i
question, II must be admitted thai M.
lltical and personal features have n.
tered into the settlement OF every 90
OF this kind In the past ten years h
iact the first case that has arisen la,s.
ly was in 1898, when Lee Mantle Vac
appointed from Montana. II Was gss.
eraly understood then that the sys,
question influenced votes both ior spd
against Mantle The well known iir
that the admission OF Mantle would
add three silver votes to the senate
really decided the case against him
In the Corbett case Il Is well known
that the personal popularity Of John
II. Mitchell cut an important figure n
the vote cast against seating the a..
pointee. while the personal popularity
Of Quay influences votes for him.
A STATE OF CONTESTS
Speaking Of the Mantle case reminds
me Of the fact that In It's brief career
OF statehood Montana has figured *.
tensively In senatorial contests Of one
kind or another The State was al.
mitted In the fall OF 1859 Their vas
q very bitter and close contest igr the
legislature. Mr.. Carter now The sen.
ator, was elected 20 the house, but the
legislature was In doubt -Four men
came here and presented their claims
for admission. William f. Sanders
and Thomas c. Power were sent BY
the Republicans and Martin MagiHnk
and w. A. Clark by the Democrats
The w. A. Clark was the same CLARK
whose seat Is now In controversy.
There was quite a long and extensive
discussion OF the subject, and 4 vas
finally decided by a strict party vote,
the Republicans voting for the men Of
their party and the Democrats for the
applicants sent by their partisans. The
were then largely In the
and Sanders and Power weis
seated. Sanders drew a term Of -four
years, and at the expiration Of MS
term legislative deadlock occurred IN
the State Legislature. Thefe were Re-
publicans. Democrats and PopullsN
but not enough Of either party ,o elect
Clark was then voted tor BY
the Democrats. When the Legislature
adjourned, the governor appolnlel
and after a long discussion hs
claim was rejected by o very marrow
Now We have with us tas
celebrated Clark case, and the no'oI'
ETY. which Montana has achieved u
senatorial contests heretofore Is COM
pletely oyershadowed by the --latest
which has already occupied SO inusa
time in committee and VIII no uolD'
occupy much more In the Senate
