Not as great interest was shown in the

senatorial balloting as on the day previous.The feet that the democrats had not madea canoes nomination was pretty generallyknown, and as a result it was felt that therewould be no election.

The Only Absentees Wore ,theBupporters of Congress.

man Dixon.

Ex-Gov. Hauser Withdraws for the Iakrsor Party seeuess--ketch of the

Buccessful Contestant,

The first deemoratic caucus ealled for thenarpose of voting for a United States lena-tor was held by the members of the legisla-ture last night. There were twenty-lvemembers present, and 'there were twenty-seven votes represented. Senator Gibsonsent a letter saying he would be governedby the action of the caucus, and Represent-ative Davidson was represented by a proxy.

But one ballot was taken and that showedthat W. A. Clark had a majority. A repre-sentative of S. T. Hauser then moved that

Mr. Clark be made the unanimous choiceof the caucus ps the democratic oandidatefor United States senator, and this wascarried without a dissenting voice.

As the demooratic strength on joint ballotIs thirty-five, it will be seen that there wereseven absentees. Those not present werewhat are known as the Dixon, or Daly men.Congressman Dixon was men in the lobbyof the, Hotel Helena after the caucus.

When asked regarding his position con-erning the result, he said: "You may saythat neither I nor the members who havevoted for me have taken any part in anyranous since the balloting began, and weio not consider that we are in any waybound by the result."

3ov. Hauser, talking after the canuus ofthe result, said: "Mr. Clark is the nominee

f a canucus in which there were twenty-aeven out of thirty-six votes represented,and as such nominee should receive theSupport of the whole number. The gentle-

men who were absedt from the caucus wereiven every opportunity to be present,were asked to sign the call, but refused.hfter twenty-four signatures had been ob-tained these gentlemen were told that a

caucus of the party would be held to-night.told the gentlemen who have been so

kindly and loyally giving me theirrotes that if after they went intocaucus it was shown that Mr. Clark

tad more votes than myself, I desired t4lamto withdraw my name in favor of that geo-tleman. Mr. Clark had more votes thanmyself, and so he was made the unanimo•schoice of the caucus. There was a proba-bility, and I was given to understand, if Iwould continue the fliht for three or fourlays longer, that I would get the nomina-ion from the caucuse But as a democratfelt I could not allow the chance for the

,ratification of any personal ambition Imight have to stand in the way of the sueno-aess of the party. With a tie vote inthe joint assembly, and one democratseriously ill. I felt and still feel that therisk was too great in prolonging the con-test. The eyes of the national democracyare upon Montana, and to merit whateverconfidence they may place in us I feel as aparty to make sure of success we must de-cide this senatorial fight quickly. Theleaders of the party in the east are fully

aware of the condition of affairs in Mon-tana, and the following telegram, which Ireceived from Senator Gorman yesterdayshows how anxious they are fora settlementof the contest."

Mr. Hauser took from his pocket the fol-lowing dispatch, dated Washington, Jan,12, signed A. P. Gorman, and reading:

"Myself and friends will communicate im-mediately with Mr. Daly; of utmost im-portance that Montana democrats uniteand elect a senator."

"I do not think," concluded Mr, Hauser,'that any democrat can afford to stand inthe way of a speedy settlement of the senas-torial contest."

Mr. Marcus Daly, who has been man-a•ing Mr. Dixon's campaign, with head-quarters at the Merchants, went to Ana-conda yesterday, so that it was not posle-

le to get his views. In the joint assemblyto-day Mr. Clark will have at least twenty-eight votes,

SKETCH OF THE NOMINEE.

From the Early Days W. A. Clark HasBleen a Leader In Montana.

William A. Clark, the canous nominee ofthe democrats, was born near Connellaville,1'a., in 18.:9, and is therefore in his 54thyear. He attended public school in winterand worked on his father's farm in sum-mer until he wan 14 years of age, when heentered the Laurel Hill academy. In 1856the family moved to Iowa. where Mr. Clarkattended the academy at Birmingham oneterm, and spent one term at the universityof Mt. Pleasant, where he began the studyof law. In 1859-60 he taught school inMissouri. He c.osed the plains in 1862,driving a team to Colorado, where heworked in the quartz mines in Central Cityto a time. Hearing of the aiscovery ofgold at liannack, he set out for that placewith an ox team in 1863. He secured aplrcer claim on Horse prai is and madeconsiderable money. This was greatlyaugmented by a trip to halt Lake forprovisions, which he brought back toBnunack and sold at high riioes. He wasengaged in various pursuits from that timeuntil 1867, when he joined the stampede toElk creek. 100 miles est of Helena. Mr.Clark made his home in Helena during1867-68 after his ,eturn from the east, andin the latter year formed a partnershipwith I. W. Donnell to go into the mer can-tile business. They shipped a large stockof goods up the Misson I river and openeda wholesale house in Helena. He then es-tablished a bank which handled a millionof placer gold each season. His mining in-terests have gradually enlarged until nowthey extend throughout Idaho and Mon-tans. In 1888 he was nominated as thedemocratic candidate for delegate in con-gress, but weeas defeated by Thos. 11. Car-ter. The convention which framed theconstitution of the state chose Mr.Clark for its president, and the democrats1 of the first legislature selected him to rep-resent Montana in the United States sen-ate. The members of that body. whichwas republican by a good working majority,refuaed to seat the democrats elected fromthis state, and seated the republicans, W.F. Handers and T. C. Power, instead. Thehistory of that crime is known and needsno extensive repetition here. Mr. Clarkwas married at Co nnallevlile, Pa., in 18g
