Speaking for myself only, 1 de
sire to say that neither your cor
respondent, nor any other person,
either in Oregon or out of it, has
ever had any authority whatever
from me, or Irom anyone who had
any right to represent me, to an
no n nee that I would be a candi
date for re-election to the United
States senate either at the comin
sppcial or regular sessions; while
on the contrary to everyone who
has spoken to me, or written to
me on the subject, since the ex
traordinary session was called, 1
have slated in the lrankest and
most emphatic manner that 1 was
not a candidate, and would not be,
at any stage of the contest for the
election of my successor. And I
desire to say to you and all others,
in this connection, I am not a can
didate for the election to the sen
ate, nor will I be at any stage of
the contest, nor will my name be
used with my eon;ent by anyone, I
either friend or foe, in that con
nection. I was a candidate lor re-election
as my own successor, as all know,
at the regular session of the legis
lature convened in January. 1S97.
On the meeting of that legislature
a call was issued lor a caucus to

'Gentlemen: I regret to state
that I have been called home, and
will be unable to be present at the
caucus to be neia tins evening.
I wish to say, however, that if

Senator Mulkey. the evening of
the caucus, sent me a telegram
from his home at Dallas, of which
the following is a copy:
"Dallas, Or., Jan. 14, 1897.

lamette Hotel, Salem, Oregon:

At this caucus, so held as above,
I had on roll-call and open viva
roce vote, the distinguished Hon
or conferred on me of receiving
every one of the forty four votes
present as a candidate of the
party, and was by the chairman ot
the caucus, the late Senator
Hughes, of Washington county,
declared to he the
unanimous
nominee of the party lor United
States s nato . There were, then.
lore, it will be seen, lorty six
United
renuhiiRaiis. a c ear maiontv ot
tile whole legislature, declaring
solemnly by their votes and by
their signatures in my lavor as a
candidate and nominee ot the
party.
Notwithstanding these facts,
lour of the names mentioned by
your Salem correspondent as being
at present candidates for election
io the United States senate,
namely, H. W. Corbett, Governor
William P. Lord, Cyrus Dolph,
and Joseph Simon, and others con
trolled by them, combined and
confederated together and witli
certain mennwisol the legislature,
some of them elected as repubii
cans, others elected as populist,
and still others as democrat, and
by the use of an unlimited amount,
of money and other disreputable
means, sustained in their miser
able anarchist, scheme, by the
Oregonian, held up the legislature,
and during the whole session pre
vented not only a vote being taken
for United States senator, but also j senator. There are many promi
t he passage of any appropriation j nent republicans located in differ
bill or other legislation whatever. I ent sections of the state eminently

years ol us proper quota oi repre
sentation in the United States
senate, and imposing upon the
taxpayers the burdens incident to
the extraordinary session ot the
legislature now convened, and,
what is infinitclv worse than all
this, bringing our people and state
into contempt in the eyes of every
right minded person outside of the
state
Notwithstanding I was then the
nominee of the party, and finding
it was impossible to have a vote.
I, on February IS, 1 897, addressed
a letter to Hon. Samuel Hughes,
state senator from Washington
county and chairman of the rep
ublican conference, in which I
recited the facts relating to the
caucus, and referred to the atti-
tude of those holding up the legis
lature, and rvhich letter concluded
as follows:

toward anarchy. It is the most

say to you now, in this public

then you must not for one mo

I am in your hands; you have
made me a nominee, do witii me
as you please, and I will be con

republican party, the state of
Oregon, and the nation. You
know full well the character of

found its origin and by which it
has been maintained. Exercise
your own judgment, keeping

partv. but .tthe state ana nation.
"Thanking you and each of you
cordially for the unfaltering sup
port you have given me, I am,
with great respect, your obedient
servant,
"John H. Mitchell."
And again, four days later, on
Feb. 22, 1S97, I addressed another
letter to Chairman Hughes, chair
man of the republican conference,
of which the lollowiugisa copy:
"Salem, Or., Feb. 22, 1S97.
"Hom. Samuel Hindu s, Chairman
Kapublican Conference, Sa
lem, Oregon.
" My Dear Sir: I understand
there is a strong disposition upon
the part ot the majority of the re
publicans to adjourn the lcgisla
ture sine die without further effort
to secure the election of a senator.
This would leave the state only
partly represented in the senate ol
the United States, the effect ol
which, in all probability, would be
to place the control of the senate
in the hands of those opposed to
the republican party, in which
event the deleat ol tariff legisla
tion at the coming extraordinary
session of congress would be as
sured. It seems to me, therefore,
there is a paramount duty resting
upon you to make one more deter
mined effort before final adjourn -
ment to secure the
election of a
qualified tor the position, men
who would do credit to the party,
the state and nation. I will co
operate with you and all other re
publicans in the legislature in en
deavoring to bring about the elec
tion of such republican as the
republican conference to whom
this letter is addressed, will agree
upon.
"Yours very sincerely,
"John H. .Mitchell."
Fearing, however, that if a vote
were permitted I might still be
elected, these conspirators and
their associates, aiders and abet
tors, against law, order, and party
organization, persisted to the end
in preventing a vote.
No: withstanding the facts just
recited, thern are many republi
cans in Oregon todav who make
'claim to, and who desire to be
classed as truthful, honorable men,
who, either through ignorance of
the facts, or for the reason that
they are willfully perverse, per
sist in reiterating, parrot fashion,
in season and out of sea.--on, the
miserable falsehood of the Oregon
ian and its satellites, that "Mitchell
and his supporters held up the
legislature."
No more wicked or grossly un
just misrepresentation was ever
invented or resorted to by
any
un.scrupulous set of politicians, for
the purpose of diverting attention
from their own inexcusable and
reprehensible conduct.
And notwithstanding the further
fact that I cordially and earnestly
.-lidud to the extent of icy power
in the election of McKinley and
Hobart, as did all my friends gen
eraliy throughout the state, and
have since and do now cordially
support the administration in pow
er, this cabal, led by the editor ot
party.
Now these same men come for
ward and narade themselves as
I.. ii .
only true repuoiicans ol tne
state, ana Mr. uoroett ana Mr.
for senator and that one or the
other should be elected.
I submit to you, Mr. Editor, and
to all concerned, as 1 did to tne
late legislature when I was will-;
I ing to waive my candidacy, al-j
though the nominee of the party
as stated, there are many promi

not only of myself but also of the
men who were prominent in this !
disgraceful legislative hold-up, and j
who promoted and engineered it,
and the names of some of the
more prominent of whom I have
mentioned), and republicans who
have not been prominent in any of
t he factional tights in Oregon, who
would, if elected, be a credit to
the party, the state and nation.
The names of some of these gen
tlemen have been mentioned by
your Salem correspondent, namely
Mr. Geer, Mr. Hermann, Mr. Ful
ton, Mr. Metschan, Mr. Gatch, Mr.
Beau and ex Judge Hewitt, and
one ot' whom, it elected, would
be an honor to the state and the
republican party, while in addition

that ot any one of numbers of

were prominent in the legislative
hold-up, and notably that of Mr.
Corbett or Mr. Simon, the ring
lpadcrs and revenue producers ol
that anarchistic proceeding, will
but tend to perpetuate factional
strife, and would result ultimately
111 the disintegration of the party.
Siuce the adjournment of the legisla
ture in March, 1897, although coutinu
I ally subjected to gross Eiisrepreseata
' tions and abuse by vindictive journalists
and subsidized penny a liners. I have
held my peace. I have not responded,
; either by speach. ietter, or interview,
; trusting and believing bv quietly with
drawing myself from poitics as a candi
i date for the senate or any other office,
that the lapse of time would ultimately
' develope a better general knowlid'e of
i the real facts connected with the late leg
I islative hold-UD, and at the same lime
I awaken to some degree a sense of justice
in the minds of even malignant partisan
j opponents. The republican party and
the state of Oregou have honored
i me as they havt never honored any other
I f its citizens. For three full terms they
' have given me a seat in the senate of th
I United States, while ou two other occa
j sions I have been the choice as expressed
in party caucus as the candidate of tke
! party for United Stales senator. I have
therefore, no po itical claims either om
; the party or the state, and do not intend
; further to make any. I am frank lo con-
fuss I was earnasitly desirous of re-e:ec
I tion at the close of my iast term, as my
position on committees in the s-.nate was
secuiid to . none in that body either m
dignity, influence or power, a position
that no new senator, whatever Kiay be
i his ebility or tact, can, under the ru es
and practices of the seaate, ho;-.e to at
tain short of a service of at least twelve
years, and I was therefore in a pos.tion
to h.we done much for the state and
coast Bat as the .-.latter stands today,
having firmly determined many months
siuct. I would not be a candidate for re
election, I have but ee ambition and
that is that I may re-establish luyse f in
my profession 111 this city and stale, and
have and retain the respect and confi
dence of the people, irrespective of party
of the state that has thus so highly hon
ored roe. Whatever may be said to the
cputrary, I have the gratification of
knowing that during the eighteen years
of my service in the senate I have en
deavop-ed to labor faithfully and consci
entiously for what I belidved to be the
best interests ot the state, the coast and
nation; and never during all that period
did I cast a vote on any question, made
a party issue in the senate, except with
the republican party, nor did I ever cast
a vote during all that period on any
question that was contrary to the plat
form of the republican party of the state
upon which the legislature which elect
ed me was elected.
Notwithstanding these facts, and not
withstanding the positition of myself aid
friends at the present time in reference
to the approaching senatorial contest, I
shall of course expect that myself and
friends wid in the future, as in the past,
be the subject of gross misrepresentation
and abuse by the organs of that faction
which organized and carried into stie
cessful execution the conspiracy against
the large majority of the republicans in
the late legislature.
Futher thaa as above indicated I do
not intend personally to take any part
in the approaching senatorial contest.
On the contrary I expect in a few days
to leave for Washington City, to be pres
ent at the opening of the suprerjee court
