THE SUNDAY OREGOKIAN, POHTjuAND, MARCH. 18, 1900...
I was wholly mistaken in. supposing: that
my distinguished successor had the .abillts
to appreciate a courtesy.
Experience teaches mo that it Is per
haps better hereafter to act upon the sug
gestions contained in the following lines,
written by Aaron Hill more than 150 years
ago:
"Tender handed shake a nettle
And It stings you for your pains.
Grasp It like -a man of mettle
And It of t as silk remains.
"Tls the same with common natures,
"Ujse them kindly they rebel.
But bo rough as nutmeg graters
And the rogues obey you well.
If Senator Simon and Senator Corbett
and their assoclates-the Populists In the
Legislature of 1S97 were of the opinion
that my election to the Senate, for any
reason, would have been a menace to the
best interests of the state and Nation, and
furthermore that they were, therefore, for
such reason, as patriots and conservators
of the public weal justified as a mlnorlty
ln resisting the expressed will of a three
fourths majority of the Republican mem
bership In the Legislature, and of a clear
majority of the whole membership of tne
Legislature of all parties, then why not
have the honesty and manhood to say so?
Why not. If you were honest In your oppo
sition to the Republican nominee if such
opposition or the reasons assigned for it
were something more than mere subter
fuge and pretences then why not be hon
est and tell the truth and not skulk and
seek to hide In the shadow of a deliber
ate falsehood? Why not say; "Yes, we held
up the Legislature. Yes, we prevented an
organization, and we did It solely to de
feat Mitchell for the Senate." Do this and
you will be credited with some degree
of respect for political and moral hon
esty. Do this and we will then discuss
with you the Question whether, notwith
standing all your reasons assigned for
your opposition, and granting them for the
time being to be absolutely well founded,
whether, after aJU, In holding up the Leg
islature as you did, you did not that Is,
those of you who were members of that
Legislature array yourselves In direct an
tagonism to your oaths of office and enact
in every essential particular the role of the
anarchist?
Senator Simon, posing as an immaculate
party man, and with his usual lack of
sense of the proprieties, proceeding fur
ther, entertains the Senate In his maiden
effort with expressions of his personal
spleen and vlndlctlveness. He says:
Ivlr. Mitchell has always had more or
legs connection and political fellowship
with those who opposed the policy of the
Republican party.
This charge, it may be confidently sub
mitted, comes with distinctively bad grace
when It Is made "by one whose record is
literally pitted with acts of treachery to
the Republican organization and Republi
can policies, and by opposition to regular
Republican nominees, as Is that of Senator
Simon, as will be clearly shown later on
In this communication.
But the course of Senator Simon In" or
ganizing the bolt against the Republican
nominee for United States Senator in the
Legislature of 1897, was but consistent with
his record of treachery to the Republican
organization In this state prior to that
time:
In 1SSC Senator Simon was chairman of
the Republican State Central Committee
of Oregon; at the Republican State Con
vention of that year, Judge Waldo was
made the regular nominee -f the Repub
lican party for Supreme judge, and Hon
R. 8. Strahan was the nominee of the
Democratic party for the same position.
Yet, Joseph Simon used all his power as
chairman of the Republican State Central
Committee to defeat Waldo, the Republi
can nominee, and elect Strahan, the Dem
ocratic nominee. This Is a fact universally
known Jn Oregon. In support of this state
TOirt 1 need only quote from The Orego
aiau. Hon. X L. Reeder, a reputable Repub
lican citizen, resident of Sauvle's Island,
Multnomah County, Oregon, had made an
affidavit in which he stated. Simon, gave
him a package of tickets for use In his
Reedcr's) precinct, telling him they were
the regular Republican tickets and whjch
he found on openlng'were the regularRe
publlcan tickets, with Waldo's namo as
Supreme Judge erased and Strahan's put
In.
The Oregonlan In its Issue of June 7. 1SSS,
In commenting on this affidavit, said:
"It Is well known that the bosses of
the Republican ring, the chief "engineers
of the machine, had set their hearts on
defeating the nomination of Judge Waldo
for re-election. This brought about a
struggle in the convention between the
ring managers and delegates from many
parts of the state, and Waldo was re
nominated in spite of the ring. And now
the fact Is developed that Simon, though
chairman of the Republican State Central
Committee, is devoting himself specially
to an effort to beat him. It Is a new
thing for the chairman of the State Cen
tral Committee to use the advantage which
that position gives -him to defeat t.art of
the ticket which he by acceptance of the
trust is bound, or should be bound, to
support In Its entirety,"
Again. It Is a notorious fact that Senator
Simon in 1890 openly opposed the election
of D. P. Thompson, the Republican nomi
nee for Governor, and as openly sup
ported Sylvester Pennoyer, the Democratic
nominee for that place. The election of
Judge Strahan, the Democratic nominee, to
the Supreme Bench in 1SS6, over Judge
Waldo, the Republican nominee, was
largely due to the betrayal of his politi
cal trust by Joseph Simon, as chairman of
the Republican State Central Committee,
and Tils active efforts In his behalf; while
the election, of Pennoyer as Governor in
190 was largely due to the open advocacy
Of Mr. Simon and those of his Republican
friends whom he could influence and con
trol. The degree and character of the activ
ity brought Into requisition by Mr. SJmon.
then State Senator, and also Chairman of
the Republican State Central Committee.
In his efforts to defeat Waldo and elect
Strahan at the June election of 1SS5. In the
City of Portland,, may be judged of from
the following comments of The Dally Ore
gonlan, published at the time. In Its Issue
of date June S, 1SSS, The Dally Oregonlan
said:
"At the polls on the corner of Fourth
and A stre'ets there was a lively scene yes
terday. Several men were arrested in that
locality for buying votes, and great ex
citement ensued. Ten bribers were prompt
ly balled by Hon. Joseph Simon. A little
later E. X Jeffries- and others, having
noticed from the opposite side of the street
what was going on In an old building ad
joining the place where the polls were
kept, crossed over and dislodged the occu
pants. Hon. Joseph Simon wps present
In the building and seemed -to have charge
of the 'proceedings."
While In Its issue of the next day, June
0, 1SSG, the following appeared:
"There was most scoundrelly work done
at polling-place No. 3. North Portland.
The return& give- evidence that nearly
one-half of the vote cast at that place was
bought. It was here- that Joe Simon and
-others were driven out of a rear room near
the polls, where work was going on, and
It was here that the men were arrested
whom Joe Simon so promptly balled."
Further comment on these record facts
as to Mr. Shnon'srparty fealty and political
and 'moral integrity would seem to be un
necessary. Since the adjournment of the Legisla
ture, February 25, 1S97, or more than three
years ago, I have studiously avoided In
truding myself into the politics of this
.state, even In the slightest degree. Prior
to the convening of the special session In
October, 1S9S, on my name being mentioned
In certain papers In connection with the
approaching Senatorial election. I wrote
and published a letter, stating that under
no circumstances would I be a candidate,
.and in that letter. I sajdi
"Since the adjournment of the Legisla
ture, in March, 1S97, altnough continually
subjected to gross misrepresentation and
Abuse by vindictive journalists and sub
.s'dlzed. penny-a-liners, I have, held my
peace. I "have not responded, either by
speech, letter, or Interview, trusting and
-believing by quietly withdrawing- myself
from politics as a candidate for the Sen--g,te
or any other office, that the lapse of
time would . ultimately develop a. better
ffeacral tafowledf ee tee real facte cB'
nected with the Legislative hold-up, and
at the same time awaken, to some degree
a sense of Justice In the mlnda of even
malignant partisan opponents. The Repub
lican party and the State of Oregon have
honored me as they have never honored
any other of Its citizens. For three full
terms they have given me a seat In the
3enate of the United States, while on two
jther occasions I have been the choice as
expressed In party caucus as the candidate
of the party for United States Senator.
I have, therefore, no political claims eth
er upon the party or the State, and do
not Intend further to make any. I am
frank to confess I was earnestly desirous
of re-election at the close of my last term,
as my position on committees In the Sen
ate was second to none In that body, eith
er in dlgulty. Influence or power, a post
tlon that no new Senator, whatever may !
be his abllty and tact, can, under the rules
and practices of the Senate, hope to at-
"u" aiivn. ul ix eervice Ui Ul JCitSL u jfCdis,
and I -was, therefore. In a. position to have
done much for the state and Coast. But,
as the matter stands today, having firmly
determined many months since I would
not be a candidate for re-election, I havt
but one ambition and that Is that I may
re-establish myself In my profession in
this city and state, and have and retain
the respect and confidence of the people.
Irrespective of party, of th state that has j
thus so highly honored me. whatever Jjjnjr
be said to the contrary, I have the grati
fication of knowing that during the IS
yeans of my service In the Senate I have
endeavored to labor faithfully and con-
scientlously for what I believed to be '
the best interests of thestate. the Coast
and the Nation, and never, during all that
period, did I cast a vot on any question
made a party Issue In the Senate, except
with the Republican party, nor did I eve:
cast a vote during- that period jon any quee
tlon that" -was contrary to the platform ol
the Republican "party of the state upon
which the Legislature which elected me
was elected."
Since writing that letter I have been
quietly pursuing my profession and taking
no part in politics, and but for this un
called-for, absolutely untruthful and
wholly unsupported attack on me, and
also on three-fourths of the- Republican
members of the Legislature of 1S97, who j
were my friends and supporters, I should '
have said nothing now. !
I am not a candidate for any office, nor ,
do I expect to be. I do expect, however, to ,
live In the State of Oregon the balance
of my days, and I shall, on the part of
mvself. and In dcfensn of mv frinnds and !
supporters In the Senatorial contest of lb'J7, i
resent from this time on. on all proper
occasions, the Infamous fabrication that '
either I or any of my supporters, -were i
responsible, in any manner whatever, eith- i
er directly or Indirectly, for holding un
the Oregon Legislature of 1E97.
And, In conclusion, I make the following
direct, positive and unqualified charge
and I defy successful contradiction from
anv source -whatever that thn dMnnrall- I
zation of the Oregon Legislature of 1SS7, '
the effectual clogging of the -wheels of

CHICAGO, March 17. When .the caso
of Albert V. Booth, a Board of Trartn
broker who was recently Indicted on a
charge of "contracting to give himself an
option," was called before Judge Water
man, the defendant waived trial by a I
jury and the evidence was submitted. The
caEe was one involving "puts" and "calls"
and was brought simply to get a case be- j
fore the Supreme Court for the nurno! '
of testing the Constitutionality of the law
against this form of trading.
It Is said that Mr. Booth and others de

which they held to be unconstitutional.
As the case was left tvlth the court, Judge

Fine Wrestllnsr Boat and a, Xnraher-
of Snappy Preliminary Events
Star Kid Boxers.
The main hall of the Exposition Build
ing was well filled last night by a large
crowd of thoroughly representative sports
tn TritnKq thn wrpstllnir bout between the
champion heavy-weights, McMillan and
Cannon, and also the carnival of sports,
wrestling and boxing. All the contests
were uy jjiuh:boju.m jjcujui;. iui owtuuim
points,. The management of the entertain
ment was in the hands of practical, up-to-date
business managers, and as a result
the different events were carried out in
snappy style and up to schedule time.
The wrestling mat and ring were placed
on the stage of the main hall. The build
ing was well lighted, so all had an ex
cellent view of the contestants.
If last night's athletic exhibition Is any
criterion of tho style of sport to be given
to the public by the proposed Jockey and
Athletic Club, and should the sports en
courage tho men behind the scheme as
thoroughly as they did. then the success
of the project Is already assured.
The main event of the evening was the
heavy - -weight, professional -wrestling
match between McMillan and Cannon.
Tho bouts were three catch-as-catch-can
and two Graeco-Roman, of which McMil
lan, the heavier man, won three out of
five and trained tho nurse. The exhlbt
tlon was the best from a scientific athletic
standpoint seen In Portland for years, the
muscular development, quick, tricky work
of these ponderous athletes being a reve
lation to the numerous amateurs present.
One striking feature of their match was
the clever leg -work, not only when the
men were on their feet, but while they
were struggling for holds on the mat-
They seemed to use leg holds as adeptly
a tne ordinary -wrestler would use his
arms. The first fall, being In the catch-
as-catch-can, -was won by McMillan, who
forced the work throughout. Cannon, his
"smer muscujar opponent, wriggled out ol
many seemingly Impossible predicaments,
Finally McMillan used his lejrs In what
ls called the "scissors lock," both legs
wrappea around the opponent's body,
Quickly changing to a half-nelson, and
Cannon's shoulders touched the mat. The
llme Ior the fall was i5 minutes 30& sec-
oncs- -ine secona oout was Gracco-Ro
man, wherein Cannon was on the aggres
sive turning the tables by working the
same "scissors lock" and gaining the fall
In 9 minutes and 40 seconds. Cannon won
again In the third bout, catch-as-catch
can working a successful half-nelson on
J-he massive McMillan, and gained the fall
? 6 minutes and 24 seconds. The fourth,
Oracco-Roman, went to McMillan by a
front hammer lock, in 3 minutes and 23
seconds. The fifth and final was also Mc
Millan's, In 3 minute? and 37 seconds,
on a straight half-nelson, his superior
weight forcing Cannon to yield after a
fine struggle.
The first preliminary event, a catch-as-
cch-can wrestling bout, best two fails
..j uyt-vimn otto cjLuausieu.
When they came at each other for the
second round. Whistler was more wan.
His superior weight was of no avail, how
ever, against Frlschkom's quick, agile
movements.
The referee In each of the wrestling
events was Hall Adali, the "terrible
Turk." whose giant-like proportions were
a striking part of the show.
The second preliminary was a. lively
four-round boxing match between Jimmy
Riley, champion light-weight of the Pa
cific Coast, and Jimmy Flaherty, Port
land's champion bantam. The set-to was
rapid and clean, and the auburn-haired
local boy won plaudits for his spry, rapid
nbrk, Riley woke up in the last round
and made things rather lively In Flaher
ty's corner.
Evans and Yost, the local fighters, ap
peared in the next preliminary in a friend
ly four-round contest. Their work was
light and of the open-handed, slapping
order, and there was nobody hurt.
The fifth section of the entertainment
was somewhat of a- farce. Jack McDon
