THE DAKOTA SQUABBLE.-The action of
that part of the Territory of Dakota
which calls itself the STATE of South Da-
kota In clcciing two persons whom 1t
proposes to send to Washington as Unit
ed States Senators, have attracted con
Siderable attention in Senatorial circles.
The interest is not diminished by the
somewhat noisy declaration made by
some residents of Dakota here, TO the
effect that they propose TO maintain this
State organization aud to uphold 1t
against all corners and TO demand what
they are pleased to call their rights.
They insist that precedent Is to be
found for the organization of State In
this way in the history of the State OF
Michigan and California. The resolu-
ton Of Senator Butler, asking whether
or not such a proceeding was not calcu-
lated to disorgauizc the Territorial State
Government and to possibly lead to a
revolution, was introduced before in
formation reached Washinlto that two
so-called Senators had been elected. -
