Ia Juae, llll. I waa elected a number of the Oregon legislature to represent Una county. Out of a total vote of 4ft I received 1)00 vote as the populist raadidate, there being two other candidates, one each on the democratic and repub lican ticket. The legislature In which I was elected wa known and is still called th "hold-up legislature,' fur the reason that a great number of the members of that body persisted in ' holding out from attendance at the j nesslon, with the expres purpose of; t.i.iln the re-election of John H. Mitchell aa United States senator. An organisation was effected In the sen ate by the election of Joseph Simon, as president, and a form of organiza tion was attempted to be effected In tho lower house by two rlal bndl a. one comprising the supporters of Sen ator Mitchell and the other consist ing of his opponents. The latter body elected Representative Davis of Uma tilla county, as speaker, end the for moT group chose H. L. Benson of Douglas county, for speaker. "The Mitchell supporter attempted to hold dally session by having roll call, which were responded to by the Mitchell adherent In 'both houses. It required 48 vote to elect Mitchell, but the crowd headed by Benson were never able to muster that many mem ber ut roll call, and the session end ed without any result whatever, In sofar ua tho election of a United States senator wo concerned. The most desperate efforts were mndn by the Mitchell men to secure the requisite number of votes, offer of money und position being the commonest meu.. employed to accomplish this purpose. Tho present Untied States senator from Oregon, Charles W. Kulton, at llio leading manager of the .Mitchell force and personally, assisted by Milchell himself, offered various sums of money in order to Induce the legis lators who belonged to the Davis wing of the lower houso to attend sessions of the legislature and vote for the election of John H. Mitchell for United State senator. MIU hell Had a Sack. "It was currently reported at the time and In fact, wa regarded as an undisputed circumstance, that Senator Mitchell had at his disposal S35.000 with which to secure hi re-election; furthermore. It wa apparent to every ono who had anything to do with this so-colled 'hold-up legislature,' that Charles W, Fulton wa the leading distributor of money for Senator Mitchell. "At a point- which I fix as about the middle of the legislative session, one James Powell, nf Albany, Ore., came to me while I waa seated In the session chamber of the house of rep resentative and Introuduced himself to mo as a Linn county republican who had voted for my election as'rep resntnlve, We had a short conversa tion, which wa renewed when I left 'jnch nt thi en hotel, r i v.-li ac companied me to the hotel and on the way there Informed me very frankly that he had been sent ?or bv Senator MllchYII and the Kilter's lieu tenants aud commissioned to Induce me tn attend tho legislative e-gon and vole for Mitchell. I 'ulloll nrit-rtil Muitli ItrtlK". "Powell mentioned the r.ii t to me that Mitchell an 1 his i.utu.iger h.ul pi' nty of money to give to those who would assist in breaking up the 'hold-up' by attending the sessions and voting for Mitchell. He alio stated that Mitchell himself desired to see me personally nt the Willam ette hotel, which was the Mitchell headquarter. Powell added that there was something In It for him If he could get me to do what I have outlined above. I arranged to meet .o.veu mat same evening and did so. He accompanied mo to the Willam ette hotel, where I wa met In the large reception room where Mitchell and Fulton held forth. A oon aa I entered the room Mitchell and Fulton Invited me Into an adjoining smaller room. Where they urged upon me the Inducement that I owed it t my own future career to attend the legislative unions and stand with them. Ful ton said to me. In Mitchell' hearing and presence: 'I will give you $1000 -"i, Mh AJ -.' r.i, ' Ttione Black 041. 2 IS FIR STREET. and pa you J15O0 of that amount I down rlirht now if you will i' Into the house tomorrow and i!t.K a speech explaining that you think there has been enough of this delay and urge that the members take ac tion and vote for Mitchell for United States senator." (Prior to this Inter view I had conferred with the leaders of the anti-Mitchell legislative wing, namely with Jonathan Bourne, John C. Young of Baker City, state chair man of the populist party."
