Abe Boynton has issued new ad-
dress to the democrats of Dakota, which,
like all his previous illusions, bears the
ear maker of his smanuensis, Ordway.
In this address he conjures up scheme
by which, he alleges, M. FL. Day
designs securing convention OF the
democrats of Dakota in the interest of
division and admission. He alleges that
hi. II. Day and Hugh j. Campbell
are working together w to secure
the same end and that end is
Justice to Dakota. He warns
the democracy of Dakota to avoid COM
pliance with the 80 called plans of Mr..
Day and to adhere firmly to the teach
ings of Vest, Butler, Morgan, Ordwsy,
Boynton, Inman g. Co. The suspicion
that Day and Campbell are working to-
gether is one which, as republican, we
wish might be true, but fear it is only
the outcome of nervous apprehension
which recognizes far away possibility
OF such an occurrence in the well known
loyalty of both those gentlemen to Da-
kota interests. MIR Day, as democrat,
ID in favor Of the division OF Dakota
on an east and west line and Mr. Camp
bell, ,as republican, is in favor OF such
division and of the admission of the
southern half into the union, with or
without congressional permission. So
far as they both favor division they
agree aud in this agreement almost all
OF the democratic party of south Dakota
stands alongside of Mr. Day. It doe,
not seem necessary for them to enter
any secret partnership upon this issue
as their joint open expression in its ia
vor has gone forth to the public.
Ii MIR. Day designs convening the
democratic party of Dakota, such inten
tion may well furnish cause for alarm te
Mr.. Boynton, and it is not surprising
that he should seek to impute to sucl
intention fictitious motive ant
endeayor to prejudice its Eoyer b.
arrayiDg before the public the bugbea
of ''revolutionary" statehood intentions
Once assembled in convention the demo
cratic party of Dakota will speedil,
dispose of the Boyntons, the Inman'
and the Ordway Johnsons and thei
carnacle associates in th
republican party and vii
reiegate those statesmen to th
ranks of private life without even ask
ing their leave. 1t is probably the fea
of speedy dsthronmens which move
| the fears of Abe Boyaton landainduoe
the promulgation of his uncalled fo
pronunciamento at this time. Tho on
thing he does not want is our early con
vention of the democracy of Dakota. H
says Mr.. Day designs calling such cor
vention in June. For Dakoia's sake W
hope Mr.. Boynton's fears are based upo
tangible intention. The Day wing G
the party possesses a patriotic interes
in the welfare of Dakota, while the Boyr
ton wing conspires openly with th
arch enemy of Dakota, Ordway, VIII
wages unceesing warfare upon ever
honest intention in behalf of our terr
tory. Between these two elements th
democracy of Dakota desire an oppor
tunity to choose .=u1 - a. oss:ce os assemble
in territorial convention the process {
separating the goats from the shee
will be speedily accomplished.
) While we have no hope that even til
reputable element of Dakota demo
racy will lend itself to the statehoo
movement, the republican party woul
welcome the purifcation of the dem,
cratic party because 1t just now poasess'
great influence at Washington.
