kOta- Chairman BOynton tonight addressed
the following letter to Hugh j. Campbell:
National Hotel, Washington. Jan. 2, 1886.
TO Gen. Hugh j. Campbell-Sir: As you
have seen fit to send a communication to
United States Senator Vest through the
Associated Press on Sunday evening last.
making a denial of and criticising some par
lIamentary language used by the senator In
discussing Dakota matters, and as you have
also seized the occasion 10 parade your Il
am more boiler than thou services In the
late war. take the liberty 10 say TO YOU.
that having served more than four wears in
the Union army and having been a citizen
of Southeastern Dakota for the past fifteen
years that /. In common with many others
who wore the blue, do not approve of your
revolutionary program in Dakota, or your
CHEAP FILINGS
at those who wore the gray. but who now.
more than tayo decades after the war has
GUIDED, are stoutiy defending the integrity
OF the general government and urge absO-
Lutte obedience to the laws Of the land. 1
do not represent Senator Vest in addressing
you, as l have had no communication with
him since your manifesto appeared. and /
doubt not he will give your attack upon him
the attention it deserves in due time. l
went into the late war Union Democrat to
aid in preserving the life of an undivided
nation. then presided over by Republican
president. At its close 1 went to Dakota
still Union Democrat, and do not propose
10 aid you and your sO-ealled Republican
faction 20 reverse in Dakota the decision
made al APPROXIMATION, that the power of the
general government should hencefOrth be
acknowledged as supreIne throughout the
land. As 10 your honesty and nprightneSs
in Louisiana, i will saw that during my
three years sOjcurn there was IN the Union
army. and did not remain there as a carpet
Dagger % secure a judicial or any other
position by melting the colOred people
against the whites. nor did aid i'm Organlz-
ing and arming poor deluded freedmen as a
militia TO uphold a carpet-bag government,
only to desert them when the hour Of trial
came. As TO your advent in Dakota with
commission in your packet, ..
SIGNED Il. b. HAYES,
am inclined TO think Mr.. Jewell. one of
the executive clerks of the house of repre-
sentativeS, ex-United States attorney Leon
ard and Judge AtOeha. together with court
record in the Sixth Judicial district i'm New
Orleans, could throw light on the issue you
have made with Senator Vest upon this
point. Referring 10 the denial that YOU
have advocated extreme measures if neees-
sary to carry out your plan for dividing Da-
k0ta, and compelling congress to recognize
III
eminent. permit me to ask il there was not
four times AZ many votes cast against you
as there was for you at the Caucus at Yank-
ton. when you as chairman first declared
yourself as a delegate 10 the state eOnveri-
ton, which You got at Canton. At the
second sO-called convention held at Huron.
were you not elected as a delegate from
county where you had never lived or pre-
tended To make your home? At the third
sO-called state convention held at Sioux
Falls did YOU not go back on your prohibit
ton hobby 10 give assurances TO the saloon
keepers at YanktOn that IL elected a dele
gate from that city. you would see that the
prohibition question was not presented be-
fore the convention? At all of these con-
veniiOns. and especially at the last one. at
Sioux Falls. have not your uttcrances been
of such an extreme character that i'm one il
not more Instances. the president OF the
convention left the chair and
PUBLICLY EEPUDIATED
your extreme views. and with many others
threatened to leave the convention if they
were adopted. II you answer no to the
above questions / refer you to the report OF
your speeches and U.ierances published in
the daily papers ut YanktOn, Sioux Falls.
and in fact i'm nearly every part of the terri
tory where you Travelled 10 attend court or
have gotten together jury of men To listen
TO your harangues. In regard 10 the prece-
cedents which you have cited in your letter
to Senator Vest 10 sustain the uhwarranted
movement in which you have embarked,
the people in Southeastern Dakota who
have read the exhaustive review which ex-
Chief Justice +. c. Shannon prepared. and
which was printed and circulated. com
pietely puncturing your flimsy network of
special pleading, needs no further argument
TO satisfy them OF the unlawful and revOlu-
tiOnary character of the proposition. The
decisive manner in which those yOn have
attempted 10 lead have sat down on YOU i'm
the recent trump" legislature az Huron and
since your NanktOn organ makes the fol-
lowing admissions: 1--WE have little faith i'm
the efficiency of further efforts In behalf of
division and statehood. The whole effort
has gone mp in a pun OF smoke" You
ought TO realize that the foundation of a
great and glorious state cannot be laid
upon the quicksands of dslOyalty to the
best government ever devised by man.
Respectfully yours. (Signed)
