Statehood Convention

MITCHELL, Oak, December 20.-At
the convention of South Dakota Demo
Gratis, to-day, for the purpose of taking
action for the advance of the statehood
cause, there were delegates from
tWenty-one counties. A committee of
leading Democrats of the Territory
was appointed to go to Washington
and present the matter to Congress. AS
compact statement of the case, the
convention adopted memorial,
which, after urging the division of
the seventh standard parallel and i'm
mediate admission. represents that the
admission of the Territory of Dakota
by the east and west line has for many
years been desired and expected by it's
citizens; that Congress has been me-
morializsd to that end without avail by
sixteen successive legislative assem-
blies; that anticipating division
throughout all these years intervening
since the first settlement of the Terri
tory, all hope has been guided and all
interests built to that end. The Oonsti-
tuition adopted at an election in 1885 is
considered as proper and in every way
desirable. Immediate action is urged
