The next day Governor Mellette delivered his message to both Houses assembled in joint session. The most remarkable feature of this message was, in substance, the declaration that the State of Dakota a politic, created by the people, was a State not only de facto, but de jure. Of course he did not mean to encourage rebellion against the United States government, but did mean to be emphatic enough in regard to the claims of the people, to attract the attention of Congress. During the same day the senate and house proceeded to vote for United States senators. In the senate G. C. Moody re- ceived 31 votes, being the entire number of senators present. A. J. Edgerton and Hugh J. Campbell were then placed in nomination, and Edgerton received 27 votes and Campbell 3 votes. In the house the first ballot resulted in 52 votes for Edgerton and 36 for Campbell. The second ballot stood 70 for Moody and 60 for Campbell.
The third day the senate and house met in joint session, when A. J. Edgerton and G. C. Moody were declared elected United States senators.
A memorial to Congress supplementary to those that had been made by and under the authority of the convention passed, and on the 17th day of December, 1885, the legislature adjourned.
From this time on during the years 1886-7-8, the attention of Congress was called to the condition of affairs in southern Dakota, and urged to enact such legislation as would result in the division of the territory, and the admission of southern Dakota as a state. O. S. Gifford, was territorial delegate to Congress during all this time, and made great effort to obtain the necessary legislation, but nothing was accomplished until the Springer enabling act was approved by President Cleveland on the 22d day of February, 1889. Thisact divided the Territory of Dakota on the seventh standard parallel, and fixed the time when and the place where each should meet to frame a constitu- tion, how the constitutions should be submitted to the vote of the people, and if ratified and republican in form and in compliance with all requirements of the Constitution of the United States, they should become the States of North Dakota and South Dakota.
The time fixed for the constitutional convention for South Da- kota was July 4, 1889, and Sioux Falls was selected as the place where the convention should meet.

CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION, 1889.
At the hour of 12 o'clock meridian, the members elect of the con- stitutional convention assembled in Germania hall in Sioux Falls, and were called to order by Dighton Corson, one of the members. Praver was offered by the Rev. L. N. Stratton, and when the roll was called, nearly all the delegates responded to their names. Chief Justice Tripp then administered the oath, which was taken and subscribed by the members. A. J. Edgerton and S. B. VanBuskirk were nom- inated for president of the convention, but no ballot was taken, Van Buskirk withdrawing his name, and A. J. Edgerton was unanimously elected by acclamation. E. W. Caldwell was elected clerk pro tem.
On the 5th day of July, the organization was completed by the election of subordinate officers. F. A. Burdick of Vermillion was elected chief clerk; Dr. A. W. Hyde of Brookings, enrolling and en- grossing clerk; James Carney of Deadwood, sergeant-at-arms; Rev. J. A. Wakefield of Brookings, chaplain; Albert J. Keith, Charles C. Walts and Frank E. Clough, pages.
Although the work of this convention was brought into a limited field, it did not conclude its labors and adjourn until the 5th day of August.
The enabling act or "Omnibus Bill" as it was called, provided, that at the election of delegates to the South Dakota constitutional convention of 1889, the constitution of 1885, and also the articles and propositions separately submitted, should be submitted to the vote of the people, and if it should again be ratified, then that constitution should only be amended or added to in such matters "as relate to the name and boundary of the proposed state, to the reapportionment of the judicial and legislative districts, and such amendments as may be necessary in order to comply with the provisions of this act; and if a majority of the votes cast on the ratification or rejection of the constitution shall be for the constitution irrespective of the articles separately submitted, the State of South Dakota shall be admitted as a State in the Union under said constitution, as hereinafter provided."
At the time of the election of delegates, May 14, 1889, the ques- tion of the ratification of the Sioux Falls constitution was submitted, and it was ratified by a vote of more than ten to one.
The members from Minnehaha county to this convention were: Wm. Van Eps, E. W. Caldwell and Clark G. Coats.
The enabling act required that if the constitution of 1885 should be ratified at the election in May, it should be the duty of the consti- tutional convention of 1889 to provide by ordinance for re-submitting it to a vote of the people on the first Tuesday in October. This re- quirement the convention complied with, and the constitution was ratified at the election by an almost unanimous vote, there being only 3,247 votes against it.
The vote on the prohibition clause was 39,509 for, and 33,456 against. There was a majority of 21,588 against minority repre- sentation.
The vote for temporary seat of government was as follows: Pierre, 27,096; Huron, 14,944; Watertown, 11.970; Sioux Falls. 11,763; Mitchell, 7,506; Chamberlain, 2,414; scattering, 44.

Todd contested Jayne's seat and was successful. The succeeding dele- gates in Congress were as follows: W. A. Burleigh, in 1864, de- feated his opponent Todd, for a third term. In 1866, Burleigh was again successful, despite the opposition of W. W. Brookings, also a Republican. In 1868, there was a lively campaign, Burleigh being a candidate on an Independent ticket for a third term, opposed by S. L. Spink, Republican, J. P. Kidder and J. W. Tohey, Independ-

ents, and J. B. S. Todd, Democrat. Spink, the Republican nomi- nee, was successful, and in 1870 was again a candidate, as was also Dr. Burleigh, against M. K. Armstrong, Democrat. The latter was successful, however, and in 1872, was re-elected after a bitter cam- paign, in which G. C. Moody and Judge Brookings were the op- . posing candidates. In 1874, J. P. Kidder was the Republican nomi- nee, opposed by Armstrong, who wanted a third term. Kidder was successful, and in 1876, was re-elected over his opponent, Spink, who in this campaign had been nominated by the Democrats. In 1878, Judge G. G. Bennett, Republican, was the successful candi- date against Bartlett Tripp, and in 1880, R. F. Pettigrew, Republi- can, defeated Capt. M. L. McCormack, Democrat. In 1882, John B. Raymond, Republican, was elected over Judge Brookings, and in 1884 was a candidate for re-nomination, but after one of the hottest political contests in the history of the territory, was defeated for re-nomination by O. S. Gifford, who was elected, and in 1886, re- elected and served four years. In 1884, Judge Gifford was opposed by J. R. Wilson, Democrat, of the Black Hills, and in 1886 by M. H. Day. In 1888, George A. Matthews was nominated by the Republi- cans and elected, but by reason of the territory being organized into the States of North Dakota and South Dakota in 1889, Matthews never had a seat in Congress.
