SenaUir;Mllli't(t has returned from Vo8lilnjton to tnke charge of JiIb senatorial campaign fcr re-clcctlon. Tho question 1, what claim has lie upon the votes of the 00 assembly men who meet at Kulcin January 11 ? It Is nsiunicd he will claim hi elec tion, (and It 1,,-t a strong claim) on the ground of experience and ability and Republicanism. He has also a strong claim on tho ground of good fellow, ship. Indeed, If he had conic back to Oregon prior to tlm June campaign and relied upon the latter element, hU strongest card, and had made a can yass before the people, without at tempting to renounce his views as a blmctnllht, his election would be mire today. Ills true friend regretted that he remained away In the spring cum- palgiii Itlooked an Ihnugli he waited to 'See which way the cat would Jump before coiumilttng himself on the money question. Whan he did return to Oregon In the full It was to make a sliver campaign on a gold standard platform, declaring McKIn- ley stood on a silver platform, etc., that the Republican party was n sil ver party, that Its policy was to re store silver, to coin silver, etc., and by such talk persuaded many Into voting tho gold standard ticket and currying Oregon fur Mclvinlcy. This policy was couyled with no renuncia tion of his vlowb of but u few instillis before whon ho declared to friends who published it broadcast to the world that not for forty re-elect lot8 to tlm senate would lie give up his convictions on the silver question. Tsow tho question urlt-os can guuu inc bimetallisms or any sincere gold standard man vote for Senator Mitchell and retain their self-respect or the confidence of their constitu ents? The people have more respect forextromo goldltcs like Dolpli nntl Harvey Scott because thoy know wlierc to II iid them, than they have for tho double dealing demagogery or "anything to get tho otlicc" stylo of politics. Tho people say-lot our pub lic men bo one thing or tho other. Hut let us not put a premium on de ceit and dimming to got our high offices. Senator Mitchell could have been elected on his record as a sliver man; or ha could have retired with nn honorable defeat as auoh; or he could havosald lastspriug to the silver men of all parties who supported him as such and supported candidates for tho legUlaturu as silver Mitchell pieui "Ueutlemcn, I am no longer a be liever In free coinage of silver; 1 have been tnlstnkon; I am now u monomct- allUU" Hut ho said nothing and now the question arises how can Mitchell bo honorably olectcd or how can he go Into an honorable retirement? Tuo people respect Mr, Mitchell as iiceutlcmim and as a man who has long held oftlce for Oregon'. Hut his candidacy Is n compromise of prin ciples, humiliating tc all the old polit ical friends of the senator and grat- lf'ltUV4!ly Uioa$, of success, to the. most obnoxious class of hangers-on known to Oregon politics. The jhhh ple are not for sale for an oftlce. Their principles and devotion to the oauso Df genuine bimetallism 1 not for sala. This fact precludes the possibility of Senntor-jMltchell's suceessat this timo and under these circumstances. He had better huve staid at Washington. Ills presence will only embitter the llcpubllcau factions and his siicc will luako ( Itiipo&itb.o for silver Uo publlcans hereafter to have any con tldeuce In the sincerity of Kepublloan leaders on this qiwtlon. The "MUcholl Iiepublleaus"eltl to the legislature bcoauxJ thoy were "silver" men and becauso of fcu '41 ver" record and "llyorM view, were bitterly oppo&fel and in some oouutle defeated because of the "sllvor" se In the spring campaign. Hut for the votes of llrer eminil and "sil ver" Populists, for 'silver" HepuWl can Mitchell men, the legislature would noUiave bevn KeiWUwa. It was elected as a "silver KejmWtcan Mitchell" legislature, MltohaUS Wf tlBdBod itbeldtoriQAfc. STBEHiBK, ' tfon released I Hese Ipublksan ttjpre-J septatlvcs.

All this is sincerely regretted by Tie Journal, because It was as un compromisingly for Senator Mitchell's return to the senate as a matter of principle as it was uncompromisingly against the return of Senator Dolpli. It was the silver Uepubllcans who carried Marion county for a Mitchell delegation and who loyally supported tn.il delegation when the gold faction tnught to defeat thorn. We challenge anyone to duny this. Was the Mitchell they pledged them selves to support a gold standard man, or the hero of many a free sliver bat tlefield? An honest answer compels us to say, It was not a gold standard man the people of Marion county sup ported at the polls in June, lfilXi.

Duriug the last two years this coai- mlttec has been composed of .W. T. Itlgdon, Thos. Holuwn and J. J. Murphy. Mr. Murphy bos been too busy to give the work of the com mittee work much asslstanoe and the whole duty has been devolved upon Mr. Rlgdon and Hotman. A short comparison of their work and the outlay in this depart ment with preceding years, will show up quite favorably the nwinagmeBl of these gentlemen.
