The real notion Of democrats who
oppose the statehood movement, as
some Of them are frank to admit, is this:
LIST That the admission Of Dakota will
give two new republican senators.
2nd-They want four years time, by
the grace of the force OF the United
States, in which to do missionary work
in Dakota to convert it to democracy.
The Ohio election has operated on
these light soil democrats like the great
light that struck Saul blind. II has caus-
ed them to reflect, that while they are
converting Dakota this and other acts of
injustice and undue party Zeal of the
democratic administration may convert
the rest of the country the other way.
Hence the democrats are hauling in
their horns. The truth is that with the
republican victory in Ohio OF yesterday,
and the republican victory In prospect
n New York, the admission OF Dakotaa
this winter under the new constitution
may be regarded as nearly q fixed fact.

Captain Maratta went to Washington
from Baltimore the day after his ap-
pointment and found numerous tele-
grams of congratulation awaiting him.
Many of these missives were from men
who had not only opposed his appoint
ment, but had opposed him in all his
anti-Ordway movements. There were
kilograms from Bismarck. Watertown,
Grand Forks, Yankton, Fargo and vari-
ous other Dakota points. From New
Orleans, Jesse K. Bell and Clifford j.
Wayne. prominent citizens, wired their
rejoicings over the appointment. t.
Dsrragh, of Little Rock, Ark; G. F.
Leonard, chairman of the West Virginia
democratic state committee; prominent
Cincinnati merchants; Mr.. Kenney, sur
veyor of the port of Cleveland; Superin-
tendent jenkins. of the st. Louis and
Kansas City Packet company; Judge
Dougherty, of Pennsylvania; Judge
Wickham, of Beaver, and Commodore
Coulson, of Yanktop, all sent most ear
nest congratulations.
One dispatch, which has a Dakota
ring, reads: "Thank God! down with
,Ordwayism.'' From its semi-religious
wording it is suspicioned that this mes.
sage was constructed in Yankton. The
Washington correspondent of tie Chi
cago Inter-Ocean tells the balance of the
story:
Captain Mccormack called at the
white house to-day to thank the presi-
dent personally for appointing Maratta.
The contest has made no i'll feeling be-
tween the two men.
Captain Maratta said to-day: II did
not seek this thing. 1 have no enemity
to cherish. l can only say it means
death to the thieves and rings. I want
to say as far as Mccormack is concerned
that his friends are my friends, and his
enemies pretty largely my enemies.
Somehow he was led into this fight, and
know he regrets it. But that's all
right now."
Captain Mccormack said: 'I have
business enough to see to. What on
earth made me think I wanted the mar
shalship can't see.
Committeeman Day called several
times to-day to express to Captain Ma
rata his unbounded delight at his ap-
polntment.

Numerous interviews with the people
of Yankton fail to develop much of any
desire upon their part for temporary
capital honors under the constitution.
One prominent citizen declared that he
wouldn't give nickie for it" and
many Others were equally emphatic
While there is feeling in outside coun-
ties that the temporary location of the
capital here would be matter
of justice, in view of past oc-
currences, nothing can come ont of such
a feeling abroad without home organiza-
tion and active work, and this does not
materialize. Expressions generally on
the subject are favorable to other points,
more especially, perhaps, to Pierre, for
the reason that Pierre was the choice of
the representatives of the people in last
winters capital contest in the legisla.
ture and removal to that place was de-
feated only by the action of the COVER
nor, who is not very popular, as an Of
fetal, in Yankton.

The Press and Dakotaian has present
ed in two consecutive articles sketch
of the creation and Ultimate dismember-
ment of the original great territory of
Louisiana and history of the process
by which Iowa went through its various
transformations until it finally became
q state with boundaries of its own choos.
ing. It has been demonstrated in these
articles that congress never intended
that the boundaries of q territory
should remsin as the boundaries of
state. The! boundaries of territories
are located without any regard to popu.
lation interests, because at the time of
the organization of territories the
population is always sparse and is con.
centrated about one or two nelghbor-
hoods. 1t is q recognized principle in
the formation of territories that their
boundaries are subject to Amendment
when, through the process of develop,
ment, they become sufficiently populous
to entitle them to the stats form of gov
ernment. Little care is therefore given
to the location of territorial boundary
lines. 1t has been further demonstrated
in the case of Iowa that the people of
a proposed state may fix their own
boundary lines and that congress must
yield to their choice. The method BY
which this has been accomplished is
somewhat tedious-that of voting down
successive constitutions presented for
ratification-but in the present tempe,
of the people of Dakota it will be
employed here if congress re.
fuses to recognize the bounda.
ries as fixed by two constitu.
tioRal conventions. Iowa secured its
symmetrical proportions by fixed de-
Termination to not accept the unwieldy
area imposed by congress. It is not i'm.
probable that congress may attempt
during the coming winter to compel the
admission of all of Dakota under one
state government. Under the prece.
dents furnished by the Press and Dako.
taian the people may successfully OBJ.
pose any such movement and secure "a
themselves in the end the desired diyi.

Of the territorial onmittee, he said, did
not desire it, and the member of the na-
