REMARKS OF GEN, ROBINSON, CAN
DIDATE NOR LIEUT. GOVERNOR OF
NEW YORK.
Thu response ich f Gen. John'e.
Robinson made to his friends and
neighbors in Binghamton, Monday
night, en the occasion of the 'sere
nade tendered him, is thus - reported
by the Binghamton Republican :
• FRIENDS .iND FELLOW-CITIZENS : For
this manifestation of your regard, I
return. you my sincere thanks. lam
disposed to altribute this visit •more
to your friendship for me as a citizen
and a soldier, than as a . candidate
for office. There is nothing so grate
ful to a soldier's heart as the ,appro
bation of his fellow-men. .11r this
ho endures privations and encount
ers dangers ; he faces wounds, dis
ease and death cheerfully in the per
formance of duty to his - country,
looping to hear the encouraging
words, " well done." But when he
receives this approval from his
friends and neighbors, iu his native
place and the home of his i-yonth, it
is doubly grateful to hits. 1 was
born in this city and on this street.
There are a few here present who
will remember when the house stand
ing at the head of this street was
considered out of town ; when
Court-street did not extend 'above
the Court-house, and when the treat
pine woods commenced at Oak
street. Although this has always
been my home, I had been absent in
the army (with only short and occa
sional lisits) for nearly thirty years,
when I was brought back here in an
althost helpless condition. - Never
shall I forget the reception I met
with on that day. - Three _ur four
times as many people as the town
contained when I left it met me at
the railway depot with encouraging
words and sympathizinn• looks.
When I made up my mind' to retire
from the army, this seemed the nat
ural place for me to Eettle down for
the remainder of my days. I have
had no reason to regret the choice.
I have found here hosts of true,
warm-hearted. friends, I believe
no enemies.
But my friends, notwithstanding
what I said in commencing, - I know
that some. of you expect to hear
something from ma on the subject of
politics. Ido n6t imagine that we
all think alike. In this vast Multi
tude there must be a difference of
opinions. Yon all know that lam
a Republican, and I assure you that
am such because I conscientiously
believe that the welfare of the coun
try depends upon the success of thee
Republican party.
I saw a few days since that Mr. A.
T. Stewart said these was no danger
of the 'country being ruined as long
as we had plenty of corn and cotton.
Now, in my opinion, it takes evnie
thing more than corn and cotton to
save 'a nation. Patriotism and good
government are necessary, and those
.we have at this time.' Under the
present Administration the country
enjoys peace, prosperity and happi
ness, and no change is desirable.
In, this State, we have lately had a
Republican Convention for the nom
ination of State officers, and we
mean to elect them. The Conven
tiou was large and enthusiastic:
Among the deegates were many of
the. ablest and best men in the State,
who went there with the determine
`lion that the State should be redeem,
ed. After completing the organirea
tion, they proceedel to nominate a
candidate for {.l orc•rnor. Several
were mentioned, two of whom were;
sure of receiving a large vote. The
President of the Convention had or
dered the roll of counties to be call
, ed, and it was about to be done,when
Dr. Clarke, .of New York, rose afid
presented the name of Major-Gener
al John A. Dix: This took the Con-
Vention by, storm. The delegates
seemed to think this would reconcile
all conflicting opinions and insure
success. County after county See
-1 ()laded the nomination-a- allother
names were - withdrawn, and the Con-
Hention nominated by acclamation
the statesman-and patriot who wrote,
" If any man attempts to -haul down
the American :flag shoot - him on the
spot." - If John A. Dix had never
written another line or uttered'
another word that' dispatch alone
would make his name immortal. No
man enjoys public confidepce to a
I greater extent than Gen. Dix. Origi
nally a Free-soil Democrat, he sus
tained with his- whole soul the war
for. the Union. A gentleman of the
old school, be is respected and be
loved by all who know him.
For Congressmen at large,tho Con
- vention nominated that eminent law
yer, • Lyinan Tremaine; of Albany,
whoQc eloquent voice will be heard
throughout the State in this cana
-1 paign. For Canal _Commissioner we
have Reuben AV. Stroud: of Ononda
t,a,civil engineer by profession,emi
neutly quail-lied for the position. Fur
State Prisioa Inspector, Judge,
Adflul
TOWANDA, BRADFORD COUNTY, PA
Graves, of Herkimer, whose name is
a sufficient guarantee that the duties
of the office will be properly attend
ed te. For Electors 'at large, the
Convention presented the colored
orator, Frederick Douglass, of Mon
roe ; the eminent German banker,
Emil Saner, of New York ; and the
eloquent. Stewart L. Woodford. of
Kings: For District Elector, we have
Our respected townsman,Hon. Barna
R. Johnson, whom you and I well
know to be true as steel.
Now, without referring to your
candidate for Lientenant-Governor;
I will say that a stronger ticket than
this was never presented for the suf
frages of the people. It was made
to be elected. There vas but one
opinion in the Convention. All went
home with a determination to work
for the ticket; and with the confident
belief that it would be triumphantly
elected.
But, my friends, important as it is
to elect to our State ticket, it is far
bore important to elect Grant and
Wilson. For, our country's sake we
should do all in our power to sustain
and uphold the illustrious soldier and
patriot, whose'administration of the
Government has been a perfect suc
cess. I know :the man ; I was his
friend and comrade in Mexico, and
served with him during the rebellion.
In spite of all the abuse and slander
heaped upon him, I tell you that.
Ulysses S. Grant, is, by his strict in
tegrity, his pure, upright character,
and his great services to the country,
entitled to your earnest, enthusiastic
end unyielding support. True to his
country, true to his friends, true to
the principles of the Republican par
ty, he is the leader of our choice.
Then let us close up the ranks :
march on shoulder to shoulder. Let
every Republican, and every Demo
crat who loves his country more than
party, be at his post on the day of
battle and victory is ours.
During his speech the General
was frequently interrupted by ap
plause. •
The strong point of the Greeley
ites has, been bragging about what
they are !/'tiny (1‘:). This serves:to
amuse them, and it hurts nobody.
But, while they enjoy their game of
brag, the Republicans have thus far
this year made substantial gains.
There have been only fifiht State
elections in the Union, in 1872. As
compared with the last preceding
elections, they resulted as follpw:::
New Hampshire—The Rtpublicaus
gained the State. -4
Connecticut—The Republicans in
creased their majority.
Rhode Island—Republican as usu
i.l, only losing Lieutenant Governor
on a local question.
Oregon—The. Republicans. toinrd
the State.
NorthiCarolina—The Republicans
/aikicd the State.
West Virginia--Thu Republicans
elected a Onvernor opposed to the
Cire , ley nominee, and consider they
have gabled irons the previous con
test.
Vermont—Republican, by a major 7
ity greater than for two years past.
Maine—Republican, by a majority
greater than for three yerrs past.
Here, then, the' Republicans have
positivelY gaincd three States —New
Hampshire, Oregon, and North Car
olina. They iiiirrra.eei their. majority
in three others—Connecticut, 'Ver
mont, and Maine.
The fish question will not affect
the Presidential issue in Rhode Isl
and. And West Virginia may vote
for Grant. The " tidal wave " has
not, np to date, made much of a
swash for the Greeley party. It
looks very much as if Dr. Greeley
was correct when he said : "Gener
al Grant never has been beaten and
never c,tu be."
in every State, then, we have been
encouraged t 4., look. for success. Now

LIME PROM lOWA.
Clu.noicez, 10., Sept. 9, 1872.
ED. Rinvirrra : Thinking perhaps a
few linos from this part of the great
State of lowa, might be interesting
to your many,readers, I made np my
mind to drop you a short letter..
I suppose you, or some of your
readers, hove had the pleasure of
seeing this great State, or some parts
of it. If so, you know by experience
what a beautiful country it is. So I
will not stop to give a description of
it in detail. As a general thing the
surface of,this county is a little more
rolling than the most part of lowa,
the little Sioux river passing through
the centre of the county. Generally
in this western country, wherever
there is a river running through the
country, tho adjacent land is more
1 rolling than it is after you get back
from the streams, and that is the
case in this county. The land lies
rolling just enough to run the water
off. We have no waste land. - Take
this county all together, 'I think
,it
can't be beat in the State, for beauty
and soil. This, year we are being
blest with good crops; the wheat is
all harvested and stacked; those that
have threshed are getting from eigh
teen to thirty bushels per acre. I
have not heard of but fe - w getting as:
low as eighteen, while many are get
ting from _twenty-three to thirty
bushels to the acre. Oats,l too, are
yielding from sixty to ninety bushels
to the acre. Corn is mostly out of
the way of the frost, and is •a very
'heavy crop. Other craps are in pro
portion. -
Now, Mr. Editor, what would your
Bradford farmers think, who have
toiled there for twenty or., thirty
years, ,picking up stones and digging
out stumps, ete., ,to come out here
and see a farm opened in one year by
only breaking the prairie up this
year, and next year getting from
twenty to thirty buShels of wheat to
the acre, without doing anything ex
cept breaking and sowing the seed.
Perhaps some of your readers think
this is a very sickly country; etc., but
ilso, they are mistake?. I do not
think I ever saw a more healthy
country in my life, and I do not
think there is a healthier or better
country in th6' world that this: west
ern one. I should like to have your
Burlington farmers come out here,
and see the country, and the wheat
fields of one hundred and twenty
acres and upwards; then I think they
would change their minds in regard
to the West. O'ne of yonr Burling
ton men, in 'this county, has got one
hundred and twenty acres of fine
wheat in the' ack, which he is going
to thresh this week. I think he will
have about two thousand bushels:
How is that for raising wheat?
Oh; yes, I Must not omit telling
you how the soldiers in this. country
go for Greeley. They go for him, as
they went for ,Lee.- There, is only
one soldier this county that is for
Greeley, an his seeking for a nem
inn:ion on the Liberal side. I asked
him the other day-what was the rea
son he left the old party.- He said
" I will tell yon just - how it was. I
thought after the Cincinnati Conven
tion, that.that party was going to
sweep the country like wild-fire;
but,: said he, "I am satisfied now
that I was greatly mistaken, and that
Greeley don't stand a; single chance
of being elected; but rhave commit
ted myself, and am ashamed to turn
back." By the way. he was a Penn
sylvania soldier, - like myself. I ask 7
ed him. who he thought would be
elected Governor of that State. He
answered, " I think Gon. Hartranft
will be elected, and if I, were there,
I would vote for him." He said be
served under Gen. Hartranft, was in
his brigade at Anteitam and a ntini
tier of other battles.- '
and he added :
" He is a good and brave man', and I
cannot see how a single soldier can
vote against him."
• Soldiers of the old Keystone State
remember Yorktown, Williamsburg,
Fair Oaks, Seven Days' Fight, Get
, tysburi, Anteitam, and other battles.
Where was Gen. Hartranft then ?
Was he not with you on those battle
fields, fighting as- you fought Now,
brother soldiers, the time - has Come'
for you. to decide whether you' will
elect a brother soldier, or a, man who
when you were lighting, was encour
aging riots and doing everything
could to help the enemy in your rear.'
Soldiers, beware ! do not - . let the
State that was represented by your
noble deeds, first and last, on every
battle field, be now governed by' a
man, that would if he could have -ru
ined this great ,and good Govern-
Mont. •
'Do not be dedived by that same
old party that 'said during the war,
nnything to beat Grant and his sol
diers. That same old party is to-day
as dangerous to this country as .it
was during the war. It comes to
y,,n dressed in Alieep'H clothing, hey-
Mg thereby to deceive you. Soldiers,
once for all, I say don't let our broth
er soldier be defeated in -
our_ State
election next month, but follow the
example of North Carolina and Ver
mont. Yours, etc.,

" WHAT I KNOW ABOUT COLORADO
Ma. arrow: According to prom
ise, I will now take time to give your
readers a few hints upon the above
named subject. Want of time has
prevented'my writing before.
Of course the first thing essential
is land well fenced. . Nearly all land
worth occupying. is already taken,
i. e., government land. There is some
railroad land, which has not yet been
brought into market, at a price that
will warrant any one in purchasing
it. The government land bas to° be
taken under .either the homestead or
preemption acts. Fencing—the next
after land—eosts very,high, ranging
from $1.2.5 to $1.50 per rod, thereby
costing nearly $l.lOOO to 'fence the
(ratline of a quarter section
acres. After land is kneel, buildings
:be 1.,....1( E r. • 'Ph,• txp;Ani e , of
\:t•r3 l great; taost of the
lumber being brought from some of
the States. 'The net irrigation, •is
in nay opinion, the wort disaaan
lags here. - This ie a large expenia.
tlri rt.,.
No farming will succeed withoat hav
ing a good:supply of water. This is
obtained by means of large ditches,
built from one to thirty miles in
length, by companies of farmers along
the line of the ditch.
'The farmers depend wholly upon
the snow lying back in the Rocky
Mountains, to melt and flow down
to fill the ditches in the dry season.
Each farmer has a small head-gate,
by which he takes. the water from
the large ditch and flows it by small
er ones over his grain.
By the time a farm. is ready ! to
work here, it has cost as much as_ a
good farm East. Often in convers
ing with men -here, you will hear
them argue to the effect that there is
an advantage in irrigation over that
of depending upon rain, because'
crops can be-watered whenever they
need it. Most invariably_ these na l. o
are doctors, lawyers, ministers, or
other professional men„ who have not
'the least experience in farming. Just
so you will find it to br: in many
cases where perhaps they would like
to have yon - loin a colony.
Farming does not pay here any
better than, if as well as, it does in
the States. • The reasons, are these :
Labor is much higher; it requires
much more labor to raise a crop.; not
near enough grain is raised for .home
consumption in the Territory.',
The
last reason should help rather than
injure the business here; but another ,
fact is this : grain from the best
growing States in the Union can be
transported here cheaper than is can
be raised here for market The fa
-eilities for transportation are such
that the farmeas here have to com
pete with those in the Mississippi
Valley, as to price, when the expense
Of productibn is much greater here
than it is there. • • -
The grains most raised here, are
wheat and oats. Corn. is not, and I
think never can be,.raised to any ad
vantage here. The best business
connected with faiming is- stock
raising. Men here keep from 100 to
15,000 head of cattle. The cattle are
expected to winter without hay,
thereby- causing little expense. I fear
the stock business will soon be over
done. .
Ono word in - regard' to colony
towns. I know of nothing that would
express my opinion any better than
the following, which I heard a gentle
man say who lived near the Chicago
Colorado Colony : " When. a man, be'
comes incapable of managing his own
business, and wants to lose what he .
has, let him go and join a colony,
and he is elected.!! • 'nig expresses
my views in regard to it completely.
I have told you at few things which
I believe to be-facts. If any of your
readers are not satisfied, and cannot
form their opinion from what writers
say, let them come and see fur them
selves. Yours truly,
W. W. CORLIN.

LETTER FROM MISSOURI.
ED. REPORTER : Perhaps some of
my old friends may desire to know
how the Compai , i 6 n goes in the West,
and would not..object to a small part
of their weekly news coming from
this out-of-the-way place.
It appears that in the Fact, you
have some men that claim to be Re
publicans—some that claim to have
been in accord with the great Re
publican party ten years ago, and yet
are now exerting all their power, and
using all their influence, to secure
the return to power of the party of
discord the so-called Democratic
party. We have very few of that
class here—only two that I know of
in this county. Two years ago three
fifths of the Republicans of this coun
ty called themselves - " Liberals," and
voted for B. Gratz Brown for Gov
ernor. Well, we have had enough
of his mis-government here; and do.
not purpose to assist him to extend
his sphere of "use/e.l.gze4s. It would
make this letter .too long to_t„tAper
ate the half of our reasons for refus ;
ing to support him or any one on
the same ticket; but I v ill sive you a
few facts that are of vital interest to
Us.
About one-third of the State of
Missouri is kwithouf the - check -of
some strong, extraneous power) con
trolled by as lawless a gang of ruffi
ans and cut-throats-as can be found
on the fOotklool, and they all
them. , :elves*Pekloctal.. When We had
a 'Republican Governor, we ,heard of
very few• ontrageS being committed
upon quiet, peaceable citizens. • It
was understood that it Was the tight,
"duty, andintention of the Executive,
to preserve the peace ,; and protect
the inoffensive:. Since the inangura 7
tion of B. Gratz Brown, and hii;
"Liberal " .policy, a large part of the
State has becOme the scene of Out
rage after outrage,' and .our drink
ing. Gnvernor has winked at horrible
outrages committed within• the lim
its of - his State Avery month of every
year, and - has rlct-or. used his poWer
to suppress them ! •
• There have been_liceizty-fid.Re.pub
helms murdered or whipped by gangs
of Demcwrats in : the Se of Misscitt
-ri, since the 'Cincinnati Convention
met! Do you hear of oar " model "
Governor 'doing anything to stop i:
whippinr , and murdering of - the
peaceable citizens'of his State ? Do
you expect ns So cast our. votes,
that the only protection we now
have—Lthejin-Klax laws—will be ta- -
ken 'from us ? Are you simple enough
to think that if: Greeley and Brown
are eleeted, tho.policy of the Ad-min
istration will be. to give protection to
the citizens of a State?
We believe that great 'bodies at
tract small . ones--,that Greeley and
Drown have becin•attracted, and will
be swallowed up, by the Democratic
party. We have seen •too much of
the supporters ,the "lost 'cause,"
to assist in handing ourselves aver
to their tender mericies. It •may - be
with you oflittle consequence—sore
headed Republicans nuiy think- that
if they cafe Manage to howl sufficient
ly loud to attract attention, anti, in
case_ Of Greeloy's election, secure a .
post office, they .will be held blame
less; but could they live a short time
in , the South-West, they 'would have
to be perfectly pitiless to even vote
for a man who. Wag: not pledged to
protect the defenseless 31r, over the
