Redfeld Dispatch: If the Republicans

Redfeld Dispatch: If the Republicans
of Dakota are so sure that the people
are in favor of division of this terri
tory, let them make the issue fair and
square this year, by nominating a man
as candidate for delegate who is
known to hold to that doctrine.
That very thing will be done, and if
the democratic convention makes the
mistake of putting up a man who
favors admission as a whole, you will
be surprised at the number of south
Dakota democrats who will vote the
republican ticket. The Boyntons and
Johnsons will find that the democratic
party is by no means unanimously be-
hind them in this matter. Division is
not a party issue. South Dakota has
any number Of good democrats who are
as heartily in favor of it as any repub-
lican, and they will vote as they
believe. Just paste this in your hat for
future reference, Mr.. Dispatch.

ever given on the subject. 1 have be-
fore me memorial to congress from
the legislature of 1871 praying for divi-
sion and the erection of new territory
out of the north half. The records
show that this was passed virtually
without opposition. I have before me
another memorial passed in 1872 renew
ing this prayer; still another to the
same effect in 1874, and yet another in
1877, which uses the language: "The
people of the northern portion of Da-
kota who are principally interested"
etc.
But it may be urged that this was be-
fore the territory was settled up, and
that the conditions are now changed.
The legislature of 1883 evidently did
not take this view of it, for it passed a
memorial reiterating these views, and
the following quotations from very
eloquent memorial introduced in the
general assembly of 1885 by Hon. E. A.
Williams, of Burleigh county, and
passed unanimously, would seem to in
dicate that north Dakota had notshift-
ed her position:
* y The desire for division is
so universal, and the reasons for it so
apparent that the people of this terri
tory have believed, and still believe,
that this measure Of justice cannot be
refused them. The probable division
of the territory has been considered in
the territorial conventions of both
political parties at every meeting for
ventions in almost every instance with
out dissenting voice, have invariably
declared in favor of division. The
legislative assembly Of the territory
has repeatedly memoriallzed your hon
orable body for division"

The platform recently laid down by
the Farmers Alliance contains one or
two planks that can only be put in

A benefcent congress has thrown
around Dakota some further safeguards
as will be seen by the passage of the
act restraining legislation in the terri

until we have some constitutional linn
itations to legislative and municipal
expenditures,

100000 more people than the north,
though the latter has the advantage of
a trans-Missouri railroad, and her
available area is not abridged by num-
erous Indian reservations. She has
had the same opportunities to secure
settlers as the south, and yet her pro-
portion of unoccupied land is much
greater. On the other hand, with the
opening of the reservation opposite
Pierre and Chamberlain, and the ex-
tension of one of the two lines of road
now waiting at the Missouri river, it
will only be a question of few years
when the waste land in south Dakota
will be confined to the locality immed-
aiately north of the Black Hills. 1t
may be urged that the proportion of
increase in population is much greater
in north than in south Dakota as
shown by the recent census. Take out
of account the old counties of southeast
Dakota and let the two sections stand
on an equal footing, and it will be
seen that the disproportion is the other
way.
1 have not touched upon the
POLITICAL PHASES OF TIE QUESTION
at all, for it would be equally humiliat-
ing to admit either that south Dakota
with two-thirds majority in represen-
tation, cannot hold her own against
the superior discipline of the northern
forces, or that a certain newly-made
subdivision called central Dakota is will
ling the territory should go in as whole
because it sees the possibility of more
profitable combinations" under such
condition.
This latter idea, am satisfied, is be-
ing considered in certain localities, but
when the people take their thinking in
to their own hands, they will soon see
how short-sighted policy it would
evolve. Neither am l one of those
who take it for granted that a demo-
cratic congress will not listen for a
moment to any suggestion Of division.
The admission of Dakota has never yet
become party issue. The only objec-
tion raised in 1882 was because of the
Yankton county railroad bond muddle
though Senator Vest did insinuate in
the same connection that the popula-
tion of ia, 600 claimed at that time was
padded.
These objections can no longer be
urged. The bond matter has been
amicably adjusted, and democratic
administration by allowing the claim
of the territory for over $4,000, the
governments share of the expense of
the recent census, has said that it was
correctly taken.
THE TINE HAS COME TO MEET THIS ISSUE
fairly and squarely. 1t is not new
one, nor is it presented to the public in
any but an honest light. Every sec
ton of the territory has expressed it.
self through it's representatives in
Legislatures and conventions and its
press in unmistakable terms, and it is
sheerest demagogy to assert that the
"people" have had no voice in the mat
ter. Let south Dakota adopt the con
stitution and elect her state officers by
such majority that congress viii
know she is in earnest. Then if tn,
question of division be submitted tt
the whole territory to vote on let tina
majority be rolled up again, and will

from north Dakota, the present oppos
