Infiammatory and Lying kilograms Telling
of Contemplated Revolution.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, July 3-During the past fort
night the columns Of the Eastern press,
especially the newspapers of New Eng
land, have teemed with infammatory dis
patches and paragraphs from Dakota
about an imaginary revolution in preparation
there 1t has been openly and solemnly declared,
in what purported to be telegraph specials from
the Northwest, that leading citizens of Dakota
were moving in the direction of a civil war, and
that the people were being quietly, but securely.
armed for the purpose of establishing an inde-
pendent State government, and resisting federal
interference Republicans discredited these sto-
ries as they read them here, but Democrats, who
have not looked into the matter very seriously,
were prone to believe that something was IN the
statements Your correspondent has communi-
Gated with some of . the leading citizens
of Dakota Territory during the past
week. and is prepared to say that
there is not the slightest truth
in any of these statements. The men most in
terested in securing admission to statehood of
the southern part of Dakota are undoubtedly
those who have been elected to congressional
and State Offices. All of these men have declared
that they have no intention whatever TO antago-
nize the will of Congress, and that it is not their
purpose to try to set up an independent State
government, or force Congress to act with any
greater rapidity than it is inclined to do OF
course they will use all the arguments in their
power to secure statehood, but it is simply ab-
surd and idiotic to talk about the people reyolu-
tionizing up there 1t would be no more trouble
for the federal government to suppress any
revolution Dakota might set up than it would be
for the police of New York to quell saloon
fight This, these men in Dakota say, they fully
realize, and that it would only injure their
standing with the country to talk about revolu-
tion. The stories which have been circulated
about an independent movement in tnat Terri
tor have been circulated for the purpose of in
iur;ng the movement for statehood.
