Platform Of Senator Mitchell of Oregon.


Senator Mitchell few minutes after his
election, addressed the legislature and de-
fined his attitude toward the president in
the following languages:
II L supposed for one moment that any
Democratic representative on this floor
had cast his vote for me under the impress
sion that it would have the ef-
feet OF changing me from Republic
an to q Democrat, of course would not
feel complimented; but Ihave every reason
to know that no member OF the Democratic
party cast his vote for me under any such
impression. 1t is due however, that I
should state that recognize the fact, and
l am now about to proclaim from the
housetop that which have always
proclaimed in secret chambers; I rec
ognize the fact that at the late nation
al election the Democratic party prevail
ed and elected a Democratic president.
I shall not conceive it to be part of my du-
ty as a senator to 60 to Washington and
make factious opposition to the admins
tration now in power. The nominations
OF the president OF the United States, if they
are worthy men, shall receive my vote Tor
confirmation unless there is an attempt on
the part OF tho president to make appoint
ments that will impugn upon any tenure of
office, and should he do 80, that would
oppose any president OF the United States.

instantly killed his wife and Gottlieb

been living at Eisenbauru's. Recently
Somerfeld entered the saloon and, drawing
n revolver, emptied all it's chambers, one
shot passing through Eisenbvum's heart,
while Mrs. Somertield was shot in the back.
As soon as the shots were fired some OF the
neighbors rushed to Mrs. Eisenbaum giving
the alarm, and they were both found dead.
Somerfield ran down the street toward the
navy yard. A citizen undertook to stop
him, when he attempted to kill him also.
An officer then appeared and took him into
custody. He made no explanation, except
to say in broken English that his wife had
left him and gone to live at Eisen baum's,
and that she had cheated him out OF his
money.
