Vest addressed the senate in opposition of
the admission of Dakota. Ho contended the
Imputation was not enough to enable it to a
representation in congress and it would to n
certain extent be a dUfranchisemcut of states
already in the uuion to give the present popu
lation of Dakota two representative * in the
U. S. sonata , as well as a representative in tlio
lower houin of congress. Demands ore said
to have been niado since 1880 for admission.
Tha territory had been all demands , ambi
tious politicians , men who were ready to cut
each other's throati politically an 1 phymcnlly
had boon urging thaso "demands " Geneinl
Grant had been urged , Vest said , with the
statement while prejidont , that Dakota gave
him more trouble than all the other territories
put together , that thn trouble there was , thoio
were two straeta in Yankton , and whan one
otroet did anything or pot anything done , tha
other street rebelled , aud it would require al
most all the civil and military power in the
United States to keep peace batwocn tha tvio
factious.
Veot Bout to the cleat and the secretary
readr _ number of petitions opposing the mi-
mission of thn territory and ascribing the do-
f-ire for admission to ombition of politicians
who wished tn go to congress. Continuing ,
Vest said tin project to divide the territory
wan unnecessary. Thcio weio no natural
barriers , mountain or river , of interest
or sentiment to divide the territoiy
or the people. Tlio ' 'engineering" of the ail-
mission scheme Vest nrciihod to Governor
Ordway , upon whoso industry and solicitude
it reflected great credit , 'i'ho trouble was
