Ia. SATAN on DAKOTA.
Tho Chicago Times has for ssvssal
years lost no opportunity to demonstrate
70 the people otDAkota that il il their
ysnomous and invstsrats enemy. In
this demonstratioa il has been com.
plstely succeasfuL II was not neces-
sary for it TO add one word in that direc-
tion to complete the conviction long
sance settled, Of every reader in Dakosa,
thatthe uttermost insolence, hate, ma
lice, contempt spite insult. and capacity
for broad.guage. square.toed lying,
which lie boarded in the boundless 70.
sources Of the Times were devoted in
their devilish totality to the satisfaction
OF the Times intense hatred for Dakota.
But with that native brutality which has
long been the characteristic Of the Times.
and is the key to some Of its remarkable
developements. . abrutality which springs
from an innate malignity. an abnormal
self-conceit and total absence of any
moral quality. the Times is not satisfied
with convincing Dakota that it is her
enemy. 1t must needs dance the war.
dance over her body. This it proceeds
to do in recent article on the Huron
convention. which for absolute frenzy
and foaming, frothing. rage, beats the
maddest mad dog Of these days; for
reckless malicious inimitabIe ~.
ing beats the devil: and
for colossal impudence and brazen ef-
frontery beats the Times, which il the
same thing.
To give our readers some idea Of the
ten-storey capacity Of this lying sheet Is
well as its unutterable brass-faced i'm
pudence,a ,and Its overpowering ignorance.
we string on line some Of the assertions
ofthe article:
mo sooner was the decision (as to the
"capital) announced than Q movement
was begun by the disappointed aspir.
"ants to capitoline henors to held Q con.
"stitutional convention.
"The gathering for that purpose is
"now sitting at Huron"
| The call for tho Huron convention was
made in March, three months before the
capital was located. The movement for
statehood and division ON the 46th par
alleli began three years ago, was ably and
almost successfully prosecuted in the
Last congress by Mr.. Pettigrew, and has
been endorsed by two conventions Of
l6outh Dakots, bsforel the Huron CON.
vention: the Sioux Falls convention
and the Canton convention.
The movement was not begun by dis.
appointed aspirants for. scapitoline
honon. II originated With two of Da-
kota's most respectable and honored citi.

president Of Yaakton college, and the
Rev. Wilmot Whitfield, presiding mis-.

The Times styles the action of the Hu
ron convention, m
"The unauthorized action or demand
of an extra legal assembly of gentlemen
who wish to stimulate the demand fol
town lots by locating promised capita
