Washington, JaD.4-Mr. BoyatoD, the
representative in Washington of the
Dakota democratic territorial committee,
has sent the following letter TO Mr..
Campbell:
Washington, Jan. ITO Hugh j.
Campbell-Su: As you have seen ut
to send u communication to United
States Senator Vest, through the assoc
lated press, making denial 81 and crit
lcIslug some parliamentary language
dseQ by tine u III discussing Da-
kota matters, euu as you have also seized
y1ls occasion to paiaue your "l-am-mofe-
1uis -tnun thou seivlce III tue late WAL,
/ take tue iibeity 10 say to you that
having served more thgu tour Years IL
the uulon army and havln2 been q cltl
4gn OF southeastern Dakota Tor the past
lfteen years, i IN common with many
others wno Uore the bine, 10 not
lprove of your revolutionary
programme ~ DAKOTA or your CHEAP
| iiugs ut those who wore the gray, but
WHO now, more than two decades attei
the war has enUed, are stoutiy defending
the integrity OF the general govern Went
md urge absolute Obedience to the
Jaws OF The land. L do not represent
Senator Vest Ia addressing you, as ]
lave had no communication with him
since your manifesto appeared, II ]
doubt not he wIll give your attack upon
aim the attention 1T deserves IN dut
lime. l went Into the late war o uniIt
democrat to sid in preserving the lie o
al undivided nation, then presided owe
oy a republican president. At la Gloss
l. went 10 Dakota, Still a union democrat
and do not propose to aid you and you
7o-calied republican faction TO revers'
IN Dakota the decision made ut Apo
mattox, that the power OF b genera
government should henceiorth be &C
Anowledged as supreme throughout tn
land. AS to Your honest,
and uprightness in Louisiana
[ will say that during my tire
years e%ojourn there l was IN the union
eIfny, and did not remain there as
oarpet-bagger to secure a judicial or an.
other position by melting the coloret
people against the whites, nor did l alt
~ organizing and aiming poor, deluuet
freedmen as a militia TO uphold a caIpst
gag government, only to desert then
when the hour OF trial came. As to You
ldveuG IN Dakota with d commission il
your pocket signed by II. w. Hayes !
am inclined to think Mr.. Jewell, one o
tne executive clerks, United State
mouse OF representatives, ex-UnlteC
States Attorney Leonard, and Judg,
Atocha, together with q court record II
Ohe sixth JUDICIAL district in New Orleans
could throw light upon the issue yor
have made with Senator Vest upon thi
point. Referring to your quasi dania
chat you have advocated extreme meas
ures, if necessary to carr
out your plan for dividln,
Dakota and compelling congress t
recognize such division and your Sc
called state government, permit me t
ask if there was not four times as man
votes cast against you as there were Gas
for You at the caucus in Ysnkton whe
you, as chairman, first declared yourse
elected as a delegate to the first stat
convention which you got up at Canton
AT the second so.called state conventio
held at Huron, did you not get electe
AS a delegate from a county where yo
mad never lived or pretended to max
tyour home? At the third s~o-calied stat
convention held at Sioux Falls, did 70
not SO back on your prohibition hobb
and give assurances to the saloon keel
ers at .4ankton, that If elected a del,
gate from that city you would see thf
the prohibition question was M
pressed before the convention? a
all of these conventions, and especiall
at tho last n at Sioux Falls, hay
not your u~tterances been of such an e.
treme character that IN one, if not i
more instances, the president of the COZ
~vention left the chair and publicly RI
pudiated your extreme views, and wit
many others threatened to leave the col
yention if they were adopted? II 20
answer no to the above question, [ refe
you to the report of your speeches an
u%tterances published in the daily paper
at Yankton, Sioux Falls and, in fact, j
nearly every part of the territory whel
you have travelled to attend court {
have gotten jurymen together to liste
to your h~arangues. In regard to til
precedents which you have cited to sni
tain the upwarranted movement j
which you have embarked the peopl
in southeastern Dakota, those VIII
have read the exhaustive revie
which exrChief Justice P. G. Shame
prepared: and which was printed an
circulated, completely puncturing you
himsy network of special pleadings, nee
no argument to satisfy them of the un
lawful and revolutionary character {
the propositions you have advanced
The decisive manner in which these me
whom you attempted to lead sat dow
upon you in the recent runp legislatur
at Huron, and since your Yankton orea
makes the TO 10 Wing admission: "W
have lsttle faith 10 the efficiency of ful
Their effort in behalf of division an
statehood, The whole effort has gon
up in a puff of smoke" you ought t
realize that the foundation of a goo
and glorions state cannot be laid on th
qulcksauds of dlsloyalty to the bes
