Dir. Butler disclaimed having intended it's
application 10 any senator.
SIR. Logan recommended equal merit in all
where there had been faithful service. The
conclusion" Mr.. Logan repeated Twas that
whatever pretense may be made as TO the
reason for excluding Dakota, however, sena-
tors may 'higgle' over words. the real reason
was that it would have

but the American people had sense of jus

statehood existed in Dakota, that it had the
necessary population, and all the conditions

Mr. Morgan had heard good deal in this
debate, but had not heard any of the advo-
Gates Of the bill answer the facts presented
against IL. Senators as much as said TO the
opponents OF admission under this bill:
Your facts are all right but your motives
are wrong. You do not want 70 pass this
measure because YOU are Democratic, and
want only DemocI ic states admitted De
Chr Morganl could, at least as logically
reply, that n gentleman who was not elected
at the last election wanted a new Republican
state admitted. or that he wanted IL TO retain
power in the senate. IL would perhaps be
unjust TO the senator from Illinois lMr.
Logan to say that but no more unjust than
the motives accredited 10 the opponents Of
this bill. Mr.. Morgan conceded that all the
conditions necessary for admission existed In
the case Of Dakota and he would be glad TO
see il admitted as one state. The senator
from illinois insisted on having two states
from it. "Insatiate archer, will not one

give him (Morgan) enough before he got
through. Well Mr.. Morgan had enough
already, and so had retired 70 the cloak room
and gone TO sleep. He had had enough Of
reproaches against his state because OF =

FROM ALABAMA
last year. The vote of Alabama had been
light, he said, because the Republican ticket
did not have any such popularity in that
state as to make it necessary for the people
for the people TO come out very largely In
order to defeat it. and even the Republicans
themselves did not care about it, As long as
Southern states had had liberty Of action they
always voted for the admission Of new states
whenever the proper conditions existed. The
objections 10 admission had come from the
East.
Mr.. Plumb said the Democratic party had
always favored the admiss on of new states
when the new states were Democratic or
would add TO the power of the Democratic
party. He reviewed at some length the ques-
fight TO get in. and il had fought the
fight well. The ''bleeding Kansas"
of that time had become the ministeriug
angel of the republic. II may be that in the
estimation of some the vote of Kansas was
not SO valuable as that of South Carolina or
Alabama. They were colder" sta es. ''Out

The first steps under the new Democratic
administration followed close on the last steps

Mr.. Harrison replied to Mr.. Butler. After
reviewing the points made by that senator
this morning and commenting on the warmth
on which the senator had spoken. Mr.. Har-
rison said he knew no cure for Butler except
fresh pastures and new treatment. Laugh

Mr.. Butler inquired whether the virus to be

senator had shown mueh bitterness, Mr.. II ar

from bite.
MIR. Harrison said his remarks were per-

was good.
Mr.. Call opposed the committees bill. The
will of the whole people of Dakota, he said.

division or on the proposed constitution, and
they should have an opportunity of voting
on these questions before the action of con-
gress was necessary.
Mr.. Edmunds inquired whether Mr.. Call.
Mr.. Butler and their associates would vote

would be submitted to the people of the
whole territory for them TO say whether they
wanted division or not.
Mr.. Call saw no necessity for such urgent
haste. This matter had to be decided with
a view to the future as well as the present.
Mr.. Butler-Win the senator from Vermont
before submitting this bill to the people elm
mate from it everything that has been done
in the way of elections of senators, congress
men, etc?
Mr.. Edmunds-I will not. After all these
years of effort and application by these peo-
pie the matter should now be disposed of.
Here was constitution like the constitutions
Of other states in respect to the security of
property, the administration of justice, the
equal levying of taxes and everything that goes
to make up the best of modern constitutions.
/ would not therefore, say to these people
that they must be again put of for one. two
or three years. The people of q territory had
no right TO remain territory forever. The
United States paid very large part of the
territorial expenses and should be relieved of
that burden as soon as was consistent with
the general good. 1t was the misfortune of
the senators on the Democratice side that the
Dakotans did not have political opinions with
which these senators could agree. and that
was what the matter was.
Mr.. Beck denied the right of territory TO
divide itself, that being power lodged only
in congress. The population of the new ter
ritory, he said, consisted TO considerable
extent of foreigners-Scandinavi and
others-who were not yet prepared for
citizenship
The debate then closed. and Mr.. Buffers
substitute was put to vote and lost. Yeas

The only Democrat voting in the af1irma-
tive was Mr.. Voorhees,. The negative votes
were all Democratic. The bill divides the
territory of Dakota on the line of the forty
sixth parallel of latitude, provides for the
admission of the southern portion as a state
under the title of Dakota, and the organiza-
ton Of the northern portion into a separate
territory under the name of Lincoln. The
senate adjourned till Monday.
