Special to the Inter Mountain.

special u tne inter mountain,
Helena, Mont, Jan. 15.--Despite the
fine Italian hand of Helnze and MacGin-
mis-, the senatorial goal is alml st in sight
for Hon. w. A. Clark. The balloting in
both houses today, with 50 members Vot-
ing, gave him a total of Il. enough to
elect providing the absenties are not on
hand to participate in the proceedings
tomorrow.
In many respects the ballOting was
surprise, especially the number of votes
cast for Spriggs. The republican vote in
both houses was strictly partisan and in
accordance with the caucus agreement
Senator Carter being chosen for the long
term and Hon. Lee Mantle for the short
term.
Strenuous efforts were made by the
friends of Ex-Governor Richards, who
were present in force, to secure the COM
plimentary vote for him at the caucus
last evening. but Mr.. Mantle had an
easy victory, though he has not been in
this city during the present session Of
the legislature.
In the house, brief recess was de-
clared by Speaker Corbett previous to
the noon hour. AS the hands Of the
clock indicated the meridian hour he
again called the house to order and an
nounced that in accordance with the
provisions of the constitution that body
must proceed to the election of United
States senator.
BY this time the room was crowded to
the doorway, many ladies being present
and occupying seats with the repre-
sentatives. The air was sitting and The
ventilation almost a nonentity, but no
lofS %1.0 IL
was over.
Hedges opened the ball by moving
the election of short term senator pre-
cede that of a long term senator.
Gilchrist objected, on the ground that
such procedure would be in defiance
0f the statutes.
Hedges declared that the question of
priority of business was one to be set
tied by the house.
Kilgallon moved as a substitute mo-
tion that the balloting for long tern,
senator take precedence.
This piece of republican diplomac
excited the Nveliest interest. and many
present were dumbfounded when the
substitute motion was lost by a vote OF
80 to 80.
The original motion was adopted.
Balloting then began, Gregory being
the only absent member. The vote re.
suited as follows:
Lee Mantle, %; Frank 12: Joseph X
