REV. MELANCTHON HOYT

Rev. Melancthon Hoyt was the first Christian clergyman to take up his resi- dence with his family in the Territory of Dakota. The Methodists had preceded him with an itinerant clergyman, a single man, but to Mr. Hoyt must be accredited the title of pioneer, for he remained a Dakotan, and was actively engaged in the work of the church until called by death to relinquish his earthly pilgrimage.

Doctor Hoyt was born in Connecticut in 1807. Of his younger years we know but little, because we have never made inquiry, but we have learned that he received a liberal education, and graduated from Yale College in his twenty- fifth year. Ile had resolved to become a minister, and studied for that calling. In 1834, on the 14th of October, he was made a deacon of the Episcopal Church, and was assigned to missionary work on the 25th of March, 1835. He was then twenty-seven years old. He began his work as a minister on the frontiers of civilization in Indiana, in 1835. From Indiana he was called to Michigan, and the year 1843 found him laboring in Wisconsin, from Watertown to Green Bay.

In 1858 Doctor Hoyt removed, with his family, to Sioux City, Jowa. His family, in addition to himself and wife, consisted of three boys and five girls. Dakota was then Indian country. He was the first Episcopal pastor in Sioux City, and he not only gave attention to his church work, but took a leading part in the educational work of the city, secular and religious, in the meantime gain- ing a knowledge of the nearby Territory of Dakota and paying its scattered and meagre settlements an occasional visit. In 1861 Dakota was organized as a terri- tory and was made a part of the Diocese of Nebraska, with Bishop Robert Clarkson as its bishop. Mr. Hoyt was placed in charge of the Dakota field by the Board of Domestic Missions, and in 1862 removed, with his family, to Yank- ton. He organized a parish at Yankton, and established mission stations at Ver- million, Elk Point, and probably at Bon Ilomme, then the only centers of popula- tion except those in the far-away Pembina country. In 1865 he built a substan- tial church edifice at Yankton, and until the coming in of Rev. Joseph Ward, late in 1868, ministered practically to the religious instruction of the entire com- munity-those of all denominations-and was quite successful. He remained as the representative head of the Episcopal Church a number of years, maintaining

215

HISTORY OF DAKOTA TERRITORY

his rectorship at Yankton, and organizing over fifty parishes and superintending the building of seventeen church edifices. His work, then, was largely the laying of the foundation for others to build upon. Doctor Hoyt had at this time resigned his pastorate at Yankton, and as dean of Dakota was engaged in looking after the interests of the church generally. At Sioux City he had conducted the prin- cipal school during the years 1858 and 1859, having an average of seventy pupils in attendance. In this work he was assisted by his daughters, Elizabeth and Anna, who were well qualified to instruct the young. A feature of his Sioux City school, and one that he found to be exceptionally popular with his scholars, as well as with the patrons of the school, was a weekly lecture given by some one of the learned men of the city on scientific subjects.

Rev. Melancthon Hoyt was an ardent worker in the cause of education-an earnest advocate and laborer for the establishment of schools, which new com- immunities are sometimes indifferent about. He was one of the most active and useful promoters of the first historical society which flourished at Yankton in early days, and wherever enterprise and assistance were needed, in his character as a citizen, he was found with his shoulder to the wheel. His hospitality was proverbial, and his time and abilities were given to the promotion of all things beneficial to the community and to his fellowmen. While he was a rigid Epis- copalian, he was a broad-minded, great-hearted Christian gentleman who re- minded one of that unostentatious divine mentioned in Goldsmith's "Deserted Village," who took a personal interest in the material, as well as religious, welfare of all the people, and all the people held him in high esteem and bore for him a warm affection. Men and women of all denominations were members of his con- gregation during the early years, and many of these were among his strongest supporters and most valued friends.

The Homestead Law, under which so many millions of western farmers have acquired homes and fortunes on the public lands of the United States, was passed at the session of Congress held in 1861-62. Andrew Johnson, afterward president and successor to Abraham Lincoln, is said to have been the originator of the homestead plan, and was its principal advocate in the Senate of the United States. The law was approved by President Lincoln May 20, 1862.

The first United States land office in the territory was opened for business at Vermillion on the 6th day of October, 1862. Prior to that time claim takers had made their pre-emption filings in the office of the surveyor general at Yankton by authority of the general land office. The land officers were J. M. Allen, of Springfield, Illinois, register ; and Mahlon Wilkinson, of Indiana, receiver. The land district was named by the organic act the Yankton Land District. W. W. Brookings made the first filing in the office on the morning of the 6th, taking a quarter section of land at Sioux Falls.

Territorial and county politics began to engage the attention of the people during the carly summer. There was a delegate to Congress to be cleeted and a territorial auditor and treasurer ; also members of the House of Representatives of the Legislative Assembly of the territory and a full list of county officers. It need not be surmised that the pioneers of Dakota were without political ambi- tion, or lacked in understanding practical politics according to modern methods.

The election under a law of the first legislature was appointed to be held on the first Monday in September, which in 1862 would fall on the first day of that month. Yankton was already the political headquarters of the territory, and the two candidates for Congress, Gov. William Jayne and Gen. J. B. Todd, werc to all intents and purposes both Yankton men; and though neither had been for- mally placed in the field by nominating conventions, they were being very vigor- ously pressed by their respective partisans and the nomination of each was a foregone conclusion.

Governor Jayne was supported by the republicans and General Todd by the democrats and quite a faction of republicans under the lead of some of the fed- eral officials. The main argument in support of Jayne was that politically he was in accord with the party in power, and therefore could obtain more favors

from the National Goverment than could a dyed-in-the-wool democrat as Todd was supposed to be.

Todd's supporters argued that he had for years given his time and money to promote the interests of Dakota, which was true as the history proves. He had been at the head of all the progressive movements from the time when the Indians owned the soil and had shown himself to be an able, astute and success- ful leader ; that he was thoroughly acquainted with those needs of the territory which the National Government was looked to to supply, and that his distant relationship to the President would enable him to secure many favors from the executive departments, which was no small item in his favor. The contest waxed warm and the feeling between the parties was at times extremely bitter. The older pioneers adhered to Todd. Jayne had the support of the Dakotian newspaper at Yankton and the Republican at Vermillion, a paper that was started September 6, 1861 ; while Todd was ably backed by the Sioux City Register, and also by a series of campaign letters written by M. K. Armstrong, over the non- de-plume of "Log-Roller" and published in the Register. Of the federal officials Attorney-General Gleason and Provost Marshal Waldron openly espoused the cause of Todd, and Judge Bliss was also claimed as friendly to the general's ambition.

The "Republican and Union Territorial Congressional Convention" was called to meet at Vermillion on Wednesday, July 16, 1862, at 10 o'clock A. M. This was the first party convention to be held in the territory, subject to a formal and generally recognized call, and announced the commencement of political party construction and the birth of the republican organization in the territory. The call is here given, with the names of those who signed it:

REPUBLICAN AND UNION CONGRESSIONAL, CONVENTION

To the Electors of Dakota Territory :

A republican and union delegate convention will be held at Vermillion, Dakota Territory, on Wednesday, July 16. A. D. 1862, at 10 o'clock A. M., for the purpose of nominating a candidate for delegate to Congress.

All citizens, without regard to former party differences, who support the administration of Abraham Lincoln and approve of its policy and principles, and who are in favor of the vigorous prosecution of the present war until the rebellion is crushed out and the supremacy of the Constitution and laws completely established in every state and territory of the Union, are earnestly requested to participate in the primary meetings for the election of delegates.

The apportionment of delegates to the convention, based upon that of the Legislature, is as follows :

The proceedings of nearly all the county conventions held in the territory are given in this chapter. They were all what is termed mass conventions, being the first to be held. The party machinery of the counties had not been organized until this election campaign of 1862, which was the first after the organization of the territorial government, which is supposed to have been completed with the system of laws passed at the first session of the Legislative Assembly, begun in March of this year.

YANKTON COUNTY REPUBLICAN CONVENTION

In response to the call of the republican and union people so numerously signed, the republicans of Yankton County met at the office of the territorial secretary on Saturday, July 5, 1862, at 2 o'clock P. M. Joseph R. Hanson called the meeting to order. Justus Townsend was elected president, and Geo. W. Kingsbury, secretary.

On motion of Mr. Barge, a committee of three was appointed to select and present to the convention the names of eight persons to act as delegates to the territorial convention. The chair appointed Messrs. N. W. Barge, G. W. Lamson and J. R. Hanson such committee. On motion of William Thompson, the chair appointed Messrs. Thompson, Edmunds and Druerson a Committee on Resolutions.

The committee to select the names of eight delegates to the territorial convention made a report recommending the following: Justus Townsend, Knud Larson, Otis B. Wheeler, Charles F. Pieotte, Joseph R. Hanson. Newton Edmunds, Ole Sampson and Geo. W. Kingsbury.
