A RAMPANT ORATOR.


We are informed by citizen of
this place, who was on Dragon
creek, in Usage county, on the 4th;.
that Ex-Governor Charles Robinson
delivered an grafton to the farmers,
In which he used some very foolish
language, as is his custom when he
makes speeches. Charles is now q
rampant, red-hot advocate of the
farmers movement, which is all
right, so far as we care, but he nor
no other man should use the Ian
guagc attributed to HIM by our fell
low either. In discussing the
questions with which the farmers
are endeavoring to grapple, he said,
in effect, that there was yet time to
settle these questions by the ballot,
but If they could not be so settled,
they had the bullet as resort. We
trust our informant was mistaken
in his understanding of the language
used by the irate Ex-Governor, but
he insists that he was not. Now,
our opinion is that this sort of talk,
or anything akin to It, will not do
the farmers movement, which has
our sympathy and friendship in all
legitimate efforts at reform, great
deal of good. To say nothing fur
Their now of the evil effects of such
iDjudicious expressions, our opinion
is that Charles Robinson is DOT the
best man the farmers could engage
to advocate their cause on the stump.
All will remember, and especially
the old settlers, his connection with
a notorious bond swindle in the
States early history, in consequence
of which he made a narrow escape
from impeachment when he was
Governor of the State. Hillyer, the
Auditor, and Robinson the Secreta.
ry of State, who were mixed in thu
same transaction with the Governor
were impeached and driven out o
Office. 1t was generally 10
marked at the time, they were not 81
smart 10 covering their tracks a.
the Ex-Governor had been. Late
down in our history, 1t will be re
membered that Charles Robinson
, was one of the agents of Sturgis, a
Washington, to force through Con
gress the measure by which Sturgi
. was to steal a large tract of the
, finest lands in this State at less thar
, a dollar an acre, which was one o
. the most glarring frauds ever at
tempted to be perpetrated in thi
State. Now our opinion is tina
Charles Robinson is q sweet scent
ed purifier. The bond swindl
buried him politically, and our ad
vice to the farmers is to let hin
stay buried, instead of having hin
!, tramping up and down the State
a injuring their cause, and sowing
the seeds of discomfort and treason
I II they will take the warning
which the press has given then
against such political demagoguef
they will not have the modification
of making a stupeudeous blunde
in the managem ent of their jus
| cause
