% Dakota sentiment and prospects Of
legislation by the present congress in
behalf Of the territory" and says that
most Of the crowd now congregated at

A Minneapolis Journals Fargo special
says: The report that General Camp.
bell was engaged in an attempt to find
indictments against the memorable capi-
tai commission was to-day denied by that
gentleman in vigorous terms. He stated
that the indictment of the members has
not been seriously considered by him, as
he has doubts Of the jurisdiction Of the
grand jury, even if his belief in their
guilt was we'll grounded.
Minneapolis Journal: Dakota was
n,isrepresented yesterday before CON-
gressional committee by q wrangle. II is
just such exhibitions as this Sthat bring
Dakota into disrepute. II Was bad
policy to get Ordway and Burleieh to
talking on the same subject in the same
committee room. Such an exhibition as
would naturally resulta from tying a bull
terrier and tom cat by the tails and
swinging them across . pole, might be
expected to come Of their clashing inter.
ests and ambitions.
The call for the national convention of
the greenback labor .party, to be held
May %. provides for the following rep.
resentatien in each state: Four dele
gates from each congressional district,
two from each territory, two from the
District OF Columbia, such delegates to
have an equal number of alternates, such
delegations to be selected in conven.

Larimore Pioneer:The Chicago,Inter.
Ocean of last Thursday contains strong
editorial Of q column in length favoring
the division of Dakota. The Inter. Ocean
is perhaps the best posted metropolitan
daily on the affairs of the great territory.
and knows whereof it speaks when it
says that fully ninety per cent. of the
total population of Dakota would vote
for division Of the territory. The peo-
ple's wishes ought to govern in this if
they do in anything, yet the time.serying
partisanship of congressional politicians
will probably prevent the separation.
jamestown Alert: It is urged that
Dakota could be admitted into the union
as state at the same time with Montana
and unless this is consented to by the
people, our territory will have to remain
outside the federal fold indefinitely.
Montana has formed constitution,
which, however, has not yet been ratified
by the people, but Dakota has none, and
We do not see how We could be admitted
without q constitution, nor how, in the
present and prospective condition of
things, we could make application for
admission simultaneously with Montana.
We do not believe that the people of
this territory are 80 anxious for adnis.
sion that they would sacrifice their long
cherished desire for division for the sake
of statehood.
