Harrison-fhen there could be no
polut 20 the Senator'S remark.
Vest am not leaving this matter to
he senator from lRdisna. Heaven help
ne II be had the decision of this ques
lion.p Vest argued the question OF sd
mission from legal point of view and
INSISTED that under the decisions of the
usitsd States Supreme Court In former
ssses Of admission, the recent action IN
Daksts vas revolutionary. de cited
Iadee Cooley and other authorities to
llhe ELECT that an enabling act vas ne
Issssary as a preliminary to the admis
tnon of Territory AZ a state, and asked
khat more Outrageous insult souid be
bfered 90 the sovereignty OF the United
Bates than the action of the men re-
Iponsibls for recent Developments in
Dakota. He offered ss independent OF
be re. olution Of Butler resolution TO
he effect that the memorial from the
Trsons calling themselves the state
Rsecutive Committee Of Dakota be oon-
sdtfed ss coming only from private in
Itnduals Of Dakota. The resolution

Logan inquired II u Was revolutionary
sf the citizens of Territory to get to-
pther and present their claims t. be
dnitied As State. they taking care to
ITeyids in their new constitution that
Ilhsy should net be State till Congress
Ishsald approve their constitution. he
Iihoasht u un fair for the Senators to
fRnd the action OF Dakots a. rsvolu-
iisssry. Until they should set up as a
asis and take TO performing the fnDc-
tons u q State aud the powers of State
hood, they were not fevoluiionists.
Bat!sf said he bad misappIehended
shai constituted State u the election
Id senator's aud Judges was not exer-
Iasna Statehood.
Logan replied that this vas done so
ID W take effect when they should be
Ittnitled a. State. as had been done
jhsiaFe.
Batter remembered bat one such In
saues. Logan could not undertake to
twtsos toe Senator's recollection OF
lstsfy.
vssi could only remember Michigan
4 40 instance at all like Dakota.

| Vest disagreed With him.
Mckiilan replied that the whole State
Ticket had been elected in Minnesota
s.everal months before the State was ad-
Ieittsa, and Douglas. Of Illinois, bad
ihksn position strongly in favor OF
IAmision in that state of fact.
| lnealls suggested ths case of the ad'
faission Of Kansas.
Plumb showed that the FIRST Senator
ffem Kansas had been waiting In Wash
faRtcn ready 10 take his seat on the ad-
nision Of that State, and took his seat
ihe Senate the day following the act
sdnission, and that had not been
tneRested TO be revolutionary. He
aeashs u presented an exactly similar
NJ 10 this Of Dakota.
Vest bad not specially looked mp the
osetion OF the admission OF Kansas,
fAsooah Missouri took some interest
that admission, for" said be, "a
f1s partition OF our personal property
rsped ints thai STATE"
namb said, "yes, some that was
hck."
Hvest-"Ns. sir; some other, but let
~ pass" Vest woild not accuse the
eef side OF the chamber Of lacking
tase electoral votes.
Logan suggested, setto rocs, thst the

/ vest sud thst had he been disposed
~ offensive. he might have remarked
