San Francisco "ChronIcle
Dakota is now asking to be made
n Stale in the Union; and we are
told that the democrats in Congress
will oppose her admission with all
her resources. The constitution OF
the United States makes no provls-
ion for the admission of new States
wieh regard to population. IL sImp
" saws "new States may be admitted
by Congress into this Union" But
the rule of Congress was, until the
admission OF Oregon, that the Terri
tory asking to be admitted should
have a representative population
equal to the ratio of appornonmeht
for one Representative existing Vt
the time OF such application for cd
mission. This rule was set aside IN
the cases of Oregon, Nebraska, Col
orado and Nevada; none of them
having the requisite population At
the time they were admitted. II has
been invariably the rule with the
single exception of Utah, and that
for reasons entirely excepti0nal) to
Admit Territories on application,
when it was manifest that they did
have the requisite representative
population. Dakota had by the last
census $500 more than such requisite
representative population. and if she
upplies for admission this winter i,
viii he a great hardship to deny her
application. The coming Congress
will have TO adopt new ratio of ap
portionment. 1t will not vary much
from 100000. If it is fixed at that,
Dakota will certainly have $4,000
more than enough population to en-
title her TO one member of Congress
and she now has more than three
times as many as Nevada, with one
Congressman, ane nearly twice as
many as the original State of Della
ware.
The Democratic opposition, there
fore, to the admission of Dakota is
not based on any rule of reason, but
springs from a deliberate purpose TO
obstruct the plain right of the peo-
pie of that Territory to representa-
tion in the Federal Congress, but
more especially in the Senate. Da.
lata is we'll known to be Republican.
In 1880, out Of a total of 2S,426
votes, she elected the Republican
delegate by 6456 majority, and Of
her ~ counties. "a we're and are Re
rublican. If she becomes a State,
her two U. S. Senators viii; be repu5
cans, and that party will infallibly
secure control of the Senate, the
possibilities of the New York cleo
tion TO the contrary Notwithstanding.
We think the vote of as fair a man
rs Senator David Davis, of Illinois,
may be confidently relied upon for
the admission of Dakota, and that
will admit her on application this
winter.
