The Examiner prints a life-size picture or Mitchell, with this de scription: This Is the senator anti-monopolists of Oregon are fighting. The legisla ture of Oregon, which meets Monday, will select a senator to succeed John II. Mitchell, who Is again contesting for the honor. Mitchell Is an out-and-out corporation man, a railroad attor ney and one who has the reputation of serving the corporatlo employing him with greater fidelity than he does tho people of the state of Oregon THE EXAMINER'S ROAST. The San Francisco Examiner this morning says: Interest In the Sena torial fight is transferred to Salem as the legislator and politicians gather here preparatory to the convening of the legislature Monday. Tho first ballot for United States Senator will be taken on the 10th Inst., and thero Is much anxiety as to who iwlll bo chosen Senator Mitchell Is, of course, an avowed candidate, but the opinion Is growing that there are many dark horses. The -only other candidate permitting the unrestricted use of his name is ex-Senator Corbdt. Senator Corbett is seventy years old, but he has a "barrel" and his coming to Salem Is apprehended by Mitchell's friends not without fear. Another who it Is feared is yearning for Mitch ell's mantle is "Joe" Simon. It is conceded that Simon will bo elected pressdent of the Senate and, It Is claimed, Will be ready to announco his candidancy for the United States senator if a chance of success becomes clear. Then there is ex-Senator Dolph.who was defeated two years ago when Mc Bride was elected. Dolph was defeated after receiving the Republican caucus nomination wl'en the Legislature was Republican, as It is now, which left a breach In the party that has not been closed. Dolph, a pronounced gold standard ruan,ls thological candidate against Mitchell, but tonight ho can not claim to be first among tho opposi tion candidates. Senator Mitchell has returned from Washington and will bo In Salem tomorrow to take charge of his campaign, and it will be a merry fight If he is defeated, nis presence, however, Is ground for claims of weak ness and there is much antl-Mltchell talk. His record on tho money ques tion is the basis for tho main tight against him. Though in the Senate an ardentadvocate of the free and ln dendent coinage of silver Senator Mit chell stumped Oregon for McKinley. Some Interpret his speeches as In ac cord with the St. Louis platform and others maintain that he has never renounced his devotion to silver. Tills is tho stage of rumors and there are various stories of Intrigues. One Is that Jonathan Bourne, the prince of politicians in Oregon, is using his efforts In behalf of Mitchell, while ostensibly opposed to him. Bourne is a member of the lower house and a candidate for senator. He was nominated as a silver Republi can, indorsed by tho Populists and managed Bryan's campaign in Oregon. A close friend of Bourne said that he would support Mitchell, and this is being spread among gold standard Re publicans to impress him that Mitch' ell is a free silver candidate. It is also claimed that Mitchell has been bidding for Populist votes, but Chair man Young of the Populist State Cen tral Committee has announced that the Populists will not support a Mc Kinley Republican. Tho Mitchell programme will be to work for a Rep ublican caucus and a petition is being circulated among members of tho Leg islature calling for a viva voce caucus. It is said that fear of traitors in camp Is the objectof the viva voce caucuB. The Mitchell men claim forty of the fifty four Republicans. There are ninety votes on Joint ballot, re quiring forty-six to elect, The fight of the opposition is to defeat Mitchell on the first ballot. The Senatorial election promises to overshadow the Legislature during tho session. The error In the nboyo is that Mr Bourne did not manage Mr. Bryan's campaign In Oregon. John O. Young and others did that. Ed. Journal. OASVOHXA. lit fae- tlBlll It a S9.J M- inrr 'CUCA444 J 5VJ ' JOURNAL, "X" RAYS. Directed Upon the Oregon Legislature and Lobby.

The United opposition In the House Is strongly organized, lias good leader ship and scored tho first victory on the preliminary organization. Moorhead of Lane, was tho Masonic candidate for chief clerk of tho sen ate. Mr. Rasmus, who will make tho best rending clerk ever In the senate, had the K. P. boys behind him. Senator E. B.

U'Ren, the Peoples' party leader, and one of the best debaters In the house. Jonathan Bourne sits to the left of the aisle, next behind Henry Guild, who has the front scat. These aro a strong quin tet of legislators. Hon. Joseph Simon again succeeded In allaying all opposition to his candi dacy for President of the senate and will "dlrccf'that body as the Oregon Ian said he would. Mr. Simon was warmly congratulated by his friends upon his success. As a parliamentar ian ho has no superior and his resour ces as an organizer arc beyond ques tion very great. Indications are that the house can not be organized today. If it is not the election of a senator will bo de ferred to January 29th. By that time tho Pacific Railway Funding bill will be passed or defeated, and the South ern Pacific will have no further Inter est In isenator Mitchell's election. Senators Jones and Stewart, of Nevada, Pcrkins,of California, Mitch ell, of Oregon, Shoup and Dubois, of Idaho, Sqiilro, of Washington, Can non, of Utah, Warren, of Wyoming, and Thurston, of Nebraska, aro the senatorial combination for Southern Pacific and five million dollar appro priation for tho Santa Monica harbori The Funding bill goes from the house to the senate today, If not defeated.

Mitchell is maklng'tho struggle of his life to secure his re election to the Unlteo States Senate. He Is an experienced politician, an able statesman, and popular citizen of Oregon. Personally The Journal has only the kindliest feelings for tho senator and wishes him success. Po litically, we regret that we cannot sup port him. We supported him at the primaries last spring, in the conven tions and at tho election in June upon liis record as a Republican of avowed bimetallic principles as the pioneer champion of free coinage, as a man of such depth of convictions on the money question that he would never surrender his views against the gold standard. Senator Mitchell as sured us ho would always reserve tho right to place a prlvato Interpretation on the Republican platform.and would never abandon the silver question. As such we supported Mr. Mitchell. Now, with tho country suffering a fin ancial stringency under the gold standard never beforo experienced In our history, with millions of pcoplo suffering starvation and liable to lose their homes, he abandons tliem for the gold standard. Wo believe in his heart Senator Mitchell Is a silver man. It not put under tho pressure of a political emer gency, Senator Mitchell would bo f ranlt enough to say he is still against tho gold standard. Senator Mitchell now would have Ills friends and the public do violence to a public senti ment for.blmetalllsm, which ho -more than any other one mon fostered and helped to build up In Oregon and tho nation. The senator's managers, want to elect him with the votes or both sliver and gold Republicans. Will this restore harmony in tho party? It must bo remembered that the silver Republicans did not mako tho Issue that drove them out of tho party. All they asked was that tho party not abandon its principles on bimetal lism any mora than it would on tho tariff question. But it went out of its way to drive tho sliver Republicans out and supply their places with gold Democrats, who are frco traders, thus expelling sound protectionists for mugwumps and men who arc more British than American In their money and tariff views. Senator Mitchell endorses this policy of Clave landlzed Republicanism, and silvci Republicans who find themselves un able to follow him In such a Tory program cannot ho declared unloyal to tho principles advocated by tho Republican party. They cannot help to elect a senator who chooses to pre cipitate the party upon a policy that' can only lead to disasters that no man has pictured moro eloquently or truth fully than Senator Mitchell himself.
