The A DIN missiOn Of Montana.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Oct l8 Among
the questions likely to engage the at
tention OF Congress at its next session
will be the admission of Montana into
the Onion. Last winter Legislative
Assembl y of the Territory adopted re.
solution providing for the election of
delegates to constitutional convention
The election Of these delegates is now
being held. Among those artad )
chosen are j. Schuyler Crosby, Cover
nor of the Territory, ID. Ii Weston, Ter
ritorial Treasurer, and Alexander g.
Botkin, Republican candidate for Con.
gress last fall. The convention is to con.
sist Of forty, five Delegates
The constitution drawn up by the
convention will be submitted to he W +
OF the people at the election in Novem.
Der, 1884 If it is ratified it will he
submitted to Congress with petition
TOR the admission of the Territory.
Will the Territory be admitted ? There
ls one favorable feature. The claim of
Dakota to be admitted as State ls too
strong to be easily denied Yet il is
scarcely supposable that the Demo
cratic House Of Representatives will
add two Republicans to the Senate and
thre" to the Electoral College, unless an
offset can be found. For this they must
look to Montana, which has always
given Democratic majorities The ad-
mission OF Montana and Dakota at once
IS therefore possibe, At the election
laSt iaIl Montana cast over q, 900 votes
This year the increase Of it's population
has been rapid, and in the two years
that mnst elapse before admission can
be accomplished the Territory will
undoubtedly attain a population OF
100 900
