Show Press Comments on Mitchell's Election. Elec-tion. New Yobk, November 19. The World ex-peots ex-peots that Mitchell will stand by the Democratic Demo-cratic Administration as a return for the Democratic support given him in the Legislature. Legis-lature. The Philadelphia Times says of the New Oregon Senator: JohnHipple Mitchell is a Pennsylvanian. As between Mitchell and Williams the Democrats had no very great latitude in choice, but they did about the best they could, and doubtless knew just why they did it. The probabilities are, most of the arguments were in favor of Mitchell. He was the candidate of the great corporate power of the State, and that is peculiarly persuasive at times, with legislators legis-lators out West. It is possible, also, that the Democrats obtained some pledge of fairness fair-ness from Mitohell in treating the President's Presi-dent's appointments. - - |
