name which exclusively belongs to Dako.
t. and being Al old and venerable resi-.
dent therein, aud having been quiet and
obscure observer Of events back in it.
h;s.ory-l would not begin to 6x the date.
l have lo"e intended expressing the resul,
Of my observations in the form Of series
Of letters through some public Journal
The Dakotian would seen to be the most
natural medium, and to it l have thought
Of addressing these mmunicstions. But
late events are Of such . nature ,hs, l
have entirely abandoned such On idea for
reasons tina. will appear apparent in The
course Of these articles.
l propose to review the acts of men-
not Red, except a. . matter Of history
but white men, and not their private but
political, public and official acts. In doing
this it will be my aim 10 be entirely free
from any and oil personalities.
Trusting that enough has been said as
an Introductory, have only to ask the in.
DILIGENCE of your columns, which if grant.
ed, my object is obtained.
At present, imagine the writer at the
Capital "lookiug on" A few hasty notes
sketched from here may not be unir.eres.
ing Let Us see.
The only event during the last week
worthy of note, is the 6rst issue Of the
Dakot'an under the control Of new
Filter, Rev. Albert Gore. IT. this issue
one m arked change is noticed. In past
numbers its only object, it would seem,
was to extal Gov. Edmunds and Islander
Capt. Waldron. In this edition the Da.
kotidn tells " that mo man whatever
may be his position, influence or preten.
sions need expect the Dakota. to give
him any political aid whatever, unless
with the party We have mentioned"
meaning the party which Gov. Edmunds,
Enos S,u.sman and W. W. Brookins are
its leaders styled the " Unconditional
Union parsy"-,he party that has been
marked with the stain Of fraud during its
whole existence in this Territory Go on
Mr.. Dakotian with your aflili.tion with
such party. "Oh Strike the Rec will
not be with you, but on the contrary, he
will take occasion to review yourself and
party at some future time.
The coming week will be remarkable in
the history Of Dakota as the converting Of
the Third Session Of the Leg;slature.-
The Dakota" says A majority Of its
members in both Houses this year, We re
elected upon the Unconditional Union
Ticket A su,icien. proof Of me con-
ceit. vanity ard hypocracy Of I'll. D1ko.
tia" is betrayed in the article entitled,
1.-THE pitch in policy
The truth is, let me say here, a large
majority Of the members Of the Le.isla
turc are opposed to your party w. Dako
tan, il all should receive their just rights
Let US examine the facts:
In Cole county every member in oppo
sit'on to your party received u large ma,
J'r''y Of votes. In Clay county, had Mr.
Jewels party, which all understand, been
present, there would have been the same
result by small maj ori,y. AS it is you
have six TO three, and had there been no
illegal votes Mr. jacobson would have
been elected 10 opposition to you, making
it four to FIVE.
In Iana,on county the result would
have been very different if the notorious
Col. John Paltee's order had no, been Civ.
en-, which had the edee, Of deprivins loyal
voters from going to the polls and vo,.
ing-l mean the soldiers stationed at
Vermillion who were entitled to vote 10
1ankton county.
In Bon Honme county the opposition
received a majority Of legal votes. In
Charles Mix i. is reported tina, the same
is the case, bu: believe it to be little too
much mixed, to form a definite conclu.
sion. In Todd county the opposition are
unanimous against you. In summing up
these statements let US sec how you stand ::
Cole county--Oppostion party s, Da-
kotian party, none. Clay county-Oppo.
si'ion party 4, Dakotian 5. Yankton
coun'y-Opposition "one, Dakotian s.
Bon Homme coun,y--Opposition 3. Da.
ko'ian none. Todd coun,y-Opposition
3, Dakotian none. Charles Mix county
Opposition 3, Dakoian none. Red River
Distr:ct-Opposition 3, Dskotian none.
Total for Opposition, p; total for Dako-
lian, l3.
These are the figures as they would stand
had there not been any illegal votes cas-,
Had there been no unfairoe,s on the part
OF any party, and all who had right to
vote had an opportunity to do so, the fig
ures would stand still greater against the
Dakotian party. Boast then of your grea,
victory under your false name the record
is against you, and there will be par,icu,
lar naine taken To show whore vnp a,an nd
