HISTORY OF SENATOR MITCHELL'S
BRILLIANT CAREER IN OREGON
The Portland Oregonlan prints the
following brief historical record of
the late Senator Mitchell's brilliant,
yet stormy career In Oregon politics.
The Oregonian says:
It would, perhaps, be difficult In
all the history of American politics
to find a man whose political career
equaled thnt of Senator John H.
Mitchell. Men whose poltlcal careers
have been as full of turmoil and strife
as that of the dead senator have
sprung before the nation's eye, but
they only bloomed and flourished for
a brief time, and their names became
forgotten with tho flight of time.
Not so with Senator Mitchell. He
became a factor In Oregon politics
when the '60s were young, and almost
from the day on which he was elect
ed Mate senator his name hns been
one to conjure with In the hlHtory of
things political In Oregon.
When Senator Mitchell first made
his hand felt in Oregon politics, he
entered a tempestuous conflict. How
ho weathered those storms that re
peatedly broke around him, how he
persistently fought and overcame ap
parently overwhelming political tides
which ever threatened to destroy him,
made men marvel for almost half a
century.
Beginning with the famous bolting
eaucus of September, 1866, Senator
Mitchell has been an Issue in Oregon
politics to Jhlx day. But a handful
of men who mixed ami mingled In
tho political strife of that time are
alive today. Only a few of the men.
whose names are at present on tho
political horizon are familiar with
that part of Oregon's political his
tory. Mitchell had been elected state
senator, had sorved one term. That
was the beginning. It was In 1862.
In 1864, Just two years after, he was
elected president of the senate. Even
as early as this, Senator Mitchell had
his political star directed to the
United States senate.
His political aspirations were in the
nature of a whirlwind, and the har
vest of that whirlwind was reaped
when he was. finally elected to the
upper house of congress. Before his
ambitions were gratified came the
tempestuous days of the legislature,
which met in September, 1866.
Holt Defeat Olbbs.
Salem, then as now wus the center
of all political storms. Addison C.
Oihhs was then governor and the
avowed candidate for sunutnr. It was
claimed that Oovcrnor Olbbs was the
choice of 4B republicans and this was
borne out when he was nominated at
the caucUB. Mitchell was nlso a can
didate, and he was charged with hav
ing engineered the bolt which fol
lowed tho nomination of Oovcrnor
Olbbs at this caucus. Not only that
but from that day to this, certain re
publicans have followed this lead, and
have novcr felt bound to follow out
the mandates of a caucus.
Mitchell's plan of overriding the
wishes of that republican caucus was
unique. Mitchell, who was charged
with .having manipulated the primar
ies of Multnomah county, had elected
tho men he had nominated. It Ib a
matter of record that Multnomah del
efiites voted straight through the
caucus for Mitchell. In Joint conven
Hon four men all Mitchell support
ersbolted. Two of these were from
Multnomah.
It was suspocted that Mltcholl was
behind the revolt and a trap was laid
to catch him. A deal was made with
two democrats with tho understand'
lng that if Governor Qibbs received
enough votes to elect him their votes
wore not to count.. Again the voto
was taken. W. W. Upton, a proml
nent Multnomah county lawyer In
Minn,, rinvs. wafl the last to vote. He
voted blank, and It was found that
Governor Olbbs was short one vote
The story of that day had.lt that
Senator Mitchell gntherod around him
17 faithful adherents. It was agreed
that all hut five would remain silent
and that five were to stand outsme,
and that If there was defection among
iho ftve one of the silent 13 was to
stop Into the breach. It was this
which paused the political pot to boll
over, and with this Incident began the
factional fights In the republican
ranks which have never healed. The
result of the "bolting" was the elec
tlon of Senator Corbett.
Tho campaign of 1872 saw Senator
Mitchell and Senator Corbett the
principal figures of one of the bitter
est political fights In the history of
the state. The factions were lined up
for deadly combat. At that time, and
for that matter for many years pre
vious, Ben Holladay was Oregon's
railroad king. Holladay was behind
Mitchell. Mitchell was the Issue of
this battle. The Holladay crowd
charged Corbett with having opposed
certain railroad measures. Corbett's
friends disputed this with might and
main and declared that Mitchell was
tied hard and fast to Holladay. Then
the Corbett followers as a campaign
slogan quoted an utterance made by
Mitchell which wus, "Whatever is
Ben Holladay's politics Is my politics,
and whatever Ben Holladay wants I
want."
Mitchell Defeats Corbett.
In spite of this Mitchell was elect
ed to the senate and Senator Corbett
was defeated. This was the beginning
of his long senatorial career. His
term expired in 1878. Here the po
litical map of Oregon changed and
the democrats went Into power. Mitch
ell was a candidate, but the toga went
to James H. Slater, a democrat. In
1880 there was no session, and the
battle was stilled until 1882. Once
more the candidacy of Senator Mitch
ell was an Issue In Oregon politics.
The struggle between the Mitchell
faction and the Corbett followers was
bitter, but the contest which followed
In i882 caused that memorable event
.to pale Into significance. Many re
publicans opposed to the candidacy
of Senator Mitchell were elected, but
Mitchell had tho majority of repub
licans. The solid 18 was born, nine
of them come from Marlon county.
Neither side would give or take, and
the battle waged throughout the en
tire session of the legislature. It took
46 to elect, and Mitchell started out
with 40 votes, and held them with
hardly a single loss.
The result was that Mitchell went
down to defeat and J. N. Dolnh wa
elected. When It came tlmo for the
next Senatorial election, the time of
tho meeting of the legislature had
been changed. January was set for
the time of holding the election In the
odd years, so the 1885 election took
plnco In January Instead of Septem
ber. Senator Mitchell was not a can
didate but he held a political hand
thnt was formidable He rallied hlj
forces for Sol Hlrach. Here followed
another struggle. So determined and
unyielding was the character of the
fight that the session adjourned with
out electing a senator.
Democrat Vote for Mitchell.
Tho following fall Governor Moody
called a special election and right
early In the session, the politicians
being weary of the protracted tur
moil, Senator Mitchell was elected by

Fearful Rxpcrlonmi of Lino Rciwlrcrs
In Alaska,
The United States telegraph lines
between Valdez and points In the In
terior, which were destroyed by a ter
rific blizzard last night, and for the
repairing of which a party of signal
corps men, at great risk and much
hardship, set out from Valdez several
days ago, have been fully restored to
working order. Business was re
sumed this morning, says the Senttle
Star.
So great was the demand upon the
lines today that but llttlo Information
could be secured regarding the wel
fare of the men who undertook the
dangerous task of locating the break.
Advices received by Major Glass
ford state that the wires were found
to be broken at Manesta pass, in the
Tokyo range, situated about 200 miles
from Valdez.
On the party's reaching the higher
elevation of the mountains the ther
mometer dropped to 100 degrees be
low zero. To add to their difficulties
the men were forced to travel in a
raging blizzard. At times the wind
blew 90 miles an hour, compelling
the party to seek shelter.
Several times different members
were about to give up, their limbs be
ing numbed by the cold. It became
necessary for the Btronger to beat
their companions to keep them from
dropping and freezing to death.
The first Intimation the local office
had of the repairing of the line was
when a local from Eagle came tap
ping over the wires today. Local
business men and those Interested In
mining in the north received the news -with
great J.y this momlng, highly,
commending the men who had so he-
rolcally braved the elements In order
to keep up the faith of the public In
the American line.

a combined republican and demo
crntlc vote, some 17 democrtns cast'
lug their ballots for him. In 1891
Senator Mltcholl was returned to the
senate without opposition.
Then followed the free silver craze.
Senator Mitchell became a conspicu
ous and persistent advocate of the
white metal and another schism In
tho republican party followed. In
1897 the legislature met. A caucus
wns assembled and nominated Mitch
ell for senator.
But the gold republicans Joined
with tho democrats and populists In
a refusal to organize the lower house,
and what was called the famous leg
islative holdup came Into being.
Thoro was no election of senator from
Oregon.
In the special session called In
1898, Mitchell was not a candidate.
Joseph Simon was elected by the gold
wing of tho party. In 1901 O. W.
McBrlde, an ally of Senator Mitchell's
was a candidate ror ro-eicotion. no
was supported by Senator Mitchell,
but he was defeated, and he turned
his Btrength to Mitchell. The ses
sion lasted 40 days, and Senator
Mitchell wns elected at the last hour.
He was serving this term when ho
died. Four times ho was elected to
the senato, thrice ho was unsuccess
ful. In all of his contests but one
there was much strlfo and acrimony.
