In Wednesday g issue Of the Press and
Dakotaian was published the oficis
figures which give the full vote of each
county in DAKOTA cast for congressman,
at the election of November last. These
figures are the returns of tho territorial
canvassing board and they comprise the
first authentic statement given the pub.
lie upon the result of the congressional
election. The entire number Of votes
cast was sc. .764, of which O. s. Clifford,
republican, received 1859, John R
Wilson, democrat, 1924 aud sixty-ons
scattering. Mr.. Gifford's. plurality is
56,455 and his majority 56,394. OF the
two sections. northern Dakota cast 32,-
353 and southern Dakota cast 54,4ll.
Upon the basis Of four and seventy eight
hundredths population to each voter the
north con TOMS 154647 and tho south
260OS4. o total population of 4l4,731.
Information from various points in the
territory enables us to reach the very
conservative estimate that aiRhty-f I've per
cent of the full vote of Dakota was
cast at the November election. The
non-voters are democrats, who knew
their cause to be hopeless one and as
. consequence did not take the
trouble to 60 to the polls. The popula-
tion estimate on full vote would stand,
in round numbers: Southern Dakota,
BOG, 900; northern Dakota, 1877, 900; total
$4,000. The figures almost confirm our
claim to a half million people IN all
of Dakota. Northern Dakota has moro
than enough population to entitle it to
one representative and southern Dakota
has enough to sntitle il to two repre-.
sentatives in congress. These facts 90
clearly establish the right Of both
northern and southern Dakota to
separate admission that no argument in
denial thereof can be sustained. The
congressional opposition must thsestore
take the position that, for political
reasons, it will not accord constitutional
privileges to q halls million disfran.
ohised people. This il nov the issue, and
Il tho democratic party has ths hardi.
hood to stand before the nation q The
advocate Of acknowledged injustice il is
not improbable that its position may
prove . daaaatrous one 70 thas party. 2

It applos, from the official records,
that J. Richmond, Of Bon Homme
county, hss been furnishing Senator
Vest Wit material for the manufacture
of false assertions. Mr.. Richmond wrote
to David Davis and requested him to
hand hieteff fasion to Senator Vest. He
wrote ins reference to the visit of Da-
kota delegation to Washington in the
interest q statehood and IN his letter
said be knew of no person in any party,
exception the members of the Washing
ton delegation, who was in
favor of statehood. Mr.. Richmond must
be an individual of obtuse understands
ing. The official record Of the vote Of
1883, on the question Of adopting state
constitution, shows that 450 Bon Homme
county men voted for that constitution,
thus declaring themselves in favor OF
statehood. Mr.. Richmond further an
