WHO WILL BE OUR NEXT SENA-
TOR2
What will the Legislature Do on
Joint Ballot Next Monday?

The legislature of Oregon con-
vened in its regular Biennial ses-
sion last Monday. There is a great
field of labor open to them, but at
present there is one subject that
overtops and hides every other one,
and that is the election of senator
to succeed Senator John H. Mitch
ell. The situation is a most peculiar
one in many respects. Senator
Mitchell is a candidate for reelection
and SO far there has not appeared
an avowed candidate against him.
Ordinarily this would presage an
easy victory for the candidate for
reelection, but it is not so in this
case, as the admission is most
general that Mitchell will be de-
feated. Another thing out of the
ordinary is that at the June election
when the legislature was elected #
was generally known that Senator
Mitchell was candidate for re-
election, and republican members
Of the legislature were elected with
that understanding. But things
change as time flies. The campaign
of 1896 was made sharply ON the
silver issue, and Senator Mitchell
got entangled ard will probably
meet his Waterloo thereby. The
republicans declared for a gold
standard; Senator Mitchell was an
opeo! and avowed free silver man up
to the day of the republican national
convention. After the adoption of
the gold plank i'll the platform
Senator Mitchell apparently sub
scribed to it and made a vigorous
campaign on that line. The re-
suit was that he then and there lost
the support of the free silver nen,
both outside and inside of his party,
and it looks like he will also lose
the support Of the gold standard
republicans,
With this complication of affairs
the Legislature is confronted. It is
asserted by men who have carefully
canvassed the subject, that the free
silver republicans, the democrats
and the populists outnumber the
gold republicans on the joint ballot
by one. If this be true, there is
every chance for a deadlock in the
election of a senator.
