The Oregoninn having for the second
time published a statement of Repre
sentative Huntington concerning the
interference of Senator Mitchell's friends
with a plan to test the legality of the
Banson house, a representative of The
Cubomcle obtained from Mr. Hunting
ton a statement of the matter reierred to
and an expression of opinion as to who
is responsible for the "hold-up." Mr.
Huntington said:
The matter referred to by me upon
the floor of the House in the discussion
of the resolutions to unseat the un
qualified members, was this:
A few days after the organization of
the House, a caucus of the members
was called to consider, among other mat
ters, the advisability of compelling the
attendance of absent members. It vas
suggested that if we should cause their
arrest they would institute habeas corpus
proceedings, and, being the moving par
ties in the legislation, might delay the
final hearing indefinitely. Many of the
members were very anxious that the
question as to the legality of our organ
ization might be brought before the
courts immediately, several of the stayers-out
having expressed a willingness
to come in whenever our organization
was declared legal. The senate had re
fused to recognize the organization, and
no business could be done while the
situation remained as it then was. The
matter was referred to tho seven attor
neys of the House. This committee
met and I was by it lequested to ex
amine the Eubject. After a caretul con
sideration, a plan was formed by whici
the legal status of tho Benson house
could be Bpeedlly determined. The
attorney-general was consulted and con
sented to institute tho desired proceed
ing. I then saw the chairman and one
of tho members of the committee and
requested that a meeting be called. I
was told that the managers of Senator
Mitchell's campaign hud been consulted
and they bad objected to the matter be
ing taken into the court because it
might interfere with Senator Mitchell's
election. I protested that the organiza
tion of the Houte was of greater conse
quence to the people of the state than
any one's candidacy, but no meeting of
the committee was ever called and the
attempt to have the question tried was
suppressed. I afterwards called the at
tention of tho House caucus to the mat
ter, but nothing was done. For this I
am satisfied Senator Mitchell's man
agers Were responsible.
But as to who is most responsible for
the hold-up, opinions differ widely. I
think the opposition to Senator Mitchell
should have been made on the floor of
the Houte. The senatorial caucus vote
was not a fair expression of opinion.
Many of its members were under the
restraint of a pledge exacted under
threats emanating from the same in
fluence which elected Bourne and some
other Populists. When tho joint as
sembly met no vote was taken, as tho
law directs, for tho reason, na I believe,
that Senator Mitchell's managers feared
thut some of theso pledged members
would bo relieved if u ballot wero taken
and would not continue to vote for
Mitchell when tho requisite number to
declare an election Bhoutd go into joint
assembly, and I am satisfied If n ballot
had been taken at oich session, as the
law directs, tho blockade would have
ended long ago.
Upon tho other baud, tho Simon Re
publicans In the house and senato would
never make any concession unless the
Mitchell men would force their candi
date to surrender unconditionally. Last
Thursday nnrning they wcro requested
to sign the following:
Tho undersigned Republican members
of the House of Representatives, hereby
express our willingness to go Into a con
ference of the Republican members of
the house for the purpose of considering
the present situation relative to tho sen
atorial controversy, and with n view, if
possible, of coming to an agreement us
to a candidate. It is expressly under
stood that such conference shall not bo
in the nature of n caucus, and shall not
be binding upon any one.
Many of the Mitchell men agreed to
sign this if the Simon men would assent
to it. The Simon men wanted to "con
sider the matter," and soon Bent word
from the senato chamber that they
would not sign it. Afterwards they
signed a paper saying they would vote
for any sound money Republican ; but
thev . stated at the same time that the
candidate must not be a member of the ;
"Mitchell push." They, of couse, re
served tho right to determine whether
the proposed candidate was from "the
push" or not.
I am satisfied that neither sido is
without fault. Tho Populists, under
the leadership of Bourne, have violated
all their pledges and have allied them
selves with the most radical gold-standard
element in the Republican party to
enable tho lattei to gain n political vic
tory. They claim that in consideration
of their aiding the Simon men to defeat
Mitchell, tho latter is to aid them in
electing Bourne speaker. Mr. Simon
claims he never agreed to support
Bourne, but simply agreed not to oppose
him. As to what this trade actually was
I have no information other than what
each side claims. If the Populists had
left the Republicans to settle their own
differences, and had done their duty by
taking their seats and qualifying, tho
legislature would not have failed for
forty days to transact the business it was
elected to do.
Found Dead in Her limine.
Last Thursday morning tho dead body
of Mrs. Mike Crolsan, a widow aged
about 70 years, was found at her homo,
five miles south of Stayton, in Marion
county, by Louie Croisan, a relativo of
the deceased. Louie Croisan was en
gaged Wednesday in plowing for crops
the land adjoining Mrs. Croisan'a home.
The noon meal was Eerved by hor in
person, and her manner aroused not tho
least suspicion of illness. At the supper
hour Croisan entered the house for his
milk pall, noted n bright ilro on the
hearth, but did not see his aged aunt.
Nevertheless, he departed for homo with
no misgivings for hfr safety nnd com
fort. When he returned to enter upon
his work the next day, he was struck by
the stillness of the place, and, making
an investigation, discovered the deceased
lying prostrate on the floor, In another
room, apparently having fallen from a
