The Huron Times comedies with the
large majority of Dakota newspaper in
their opposition to the scheme to admit
Dakota as one state. The Times says:
The people Of Dakota cannot be forced
to accept admission az a whole either BY
the Bismarckers or congress. The elec.
tors of the territory have the reserved
right to refuse to accept the terms of apy
enabling act providing for such admis
sion. or to reject any constitution framed
by any set OF men for that purpt Sc. Ii
the Bismarck bill should pass cohgress,
doubtless the schemers would next at.
tempt to pack the constitutional conven
ton. The attempt might be successful.
if the people as rule re-.
fused to participate in the election OF
delegates. But with the adjournment
OF the convention the end of this rope
would be reached. for nconatitution pre-.
pared BY such body would meet With
overwhelming and merited disaster. So
there is no irreparablelnjury to be feared
from the tactics of the northern lobby,
but it is indeed aggravating that its 10.
termeddli0g promises to keep from US,
during this session Of congress. the great
boon Of division which otherwise might
be hoped for.
