| Robinson faction. | fnd many Democrats very
indignant at this, and know some of my noghbors
| in my town who will vote against Robinson on
that account alone Then there is . good deal Of
feeling against Robinson growing out of canal mat
ters, and whether right or wrong. ii Will turn some
democrats to Mr. Kelly and some to Mr.. Cornell
pretty active in the greenback last year
and. although we did not poll as many votes as we
expected. we made a very thorough canvass OF the
county. and think know pretty we'll how the DEM
ocrats stand. They have little 5000 votes In
the county, and out of these believe Kelly will get
least 600 and probably more. / 100 other
democratic votes viii go direct to Mr.. Cornell and
guess We shall give him 1,s0O plurality over Robin
son."
'&e SOME STRAY NOTES.
Mr.. +. II. Agar. OF Ononoaga. tor many years edi.
tor of the Syracuse standard in the old free SOIL
days. is an enthusiastic Robinson man. Having ex-
pressed the opinion that vast number OF repub-
leans will vote for Governor Robinson. and being
asked whether he did not think that the apprehen-
sion of helping Mr.. Tilden to the next democratic
nomination and to the Presidency would deter the
republicans generally from giving aid to Mt. III
.'Why" said he '.that il just what the Intelligent
and honest republicans IN this State want Ihey
believe that Mr.. Tilden would as President carry
into the nation the great principles or admin.
isrative reform which he successfully carried out
this State its Governor. and they are desirous
that he shall be the next Presiaens Oh 'he oni'eu
States"
This was certainly a startling and curious an
nouncement. but Mr.. Agan, who Is an enthusiast
and strictly honest man. evidently meant what he
said.
u tell you." he continued. "the election Of Gov
ernor Robinson is certain. You don't know what q
republican strength he has. Why the New York
Tunes is doing us immense service. We are buying
Il large number OF copies and are circulating them
every where among our friends.
This was SAID over two weeks ago. and the Times
may not be quite as useful now as u campaign sheet
for the Tilden Robinson democracy.
VISITING COMMITTEES
Some funny stories are told about the experiences
of the visiting committees which went through the
different counties on mission to stir up the slug
gish. bring the refractory into line and strengthen
the hearts OF the faithful. Two OF these missionary
gentlemen went Olean. in Cataraugus county. and
the county committee. local candidates aud leading
They went. or few OF them did, and among them
Mr.. Howard OF Allegany, the candidate for member
OF Assembly. and Mr.. Ainsley. of Salamanca. the
candidate for Surrogate. Governor Seymour. who
visiting Olean at the time received an invitation
be present ut the meeting and accepted After the
chairman OF the COUNTY committee had given roso
colored account of the condition OF the county and
had declared that there was very little of the Kelly
movement in those parts Mr. Mr. Howard M wa was asked

question, gentlemen. suppose you wish me to tell
The fact is that Mr.. Kelly will get many votes in

well. as to that" struck iu Mr.. Ansley. "I am in
the support. I support NJ. Kelly and SO do
many democrats in Salamanca.
The story goes that the chairman Of the county
committee dumfounded that Governor Sey

A FARMERS ALLIANCE.
Mr. william j. Fowler the Secretary Of the Farm
ers' Alliance of Monroe county in recent couyer.
satiou stated that Mr. Root the President OF the Al
lance, who is republican in politics. has declared
his intent ton to support MIR. Cornell. giving his
the fact that Mr.. Cornels letter OF accept
is agreeable to him and ought to be to all tho
members Of the alliance In consequence OF this,
while there probably two three hundred
publican farmers in Monroe who may vote for Gov
| ernor Robinson, the main body Of the members OF
the alliance on that side will support Mr. Cornell
| II believe said Mr.. Fowler. THAT some men will
vote for Robinson simply because of Tammany's op-
position to him. At the time the Kelly vote
will be large in Monroe. is the headquarters of
the canal democracy and the Kelly feeling extends
into most of the towns. At the same time, In Mon
the opposition is much moro anti-Iilden than
ant-Robinson. A great many Irish Catholics de-
clare Tor Kelly and this sets another class Of citizens
against him.
In 1876 orleans county gave Morgan 1.oss majority
Robinson. There will this year be about Ave
hundred Kelly votes poled in the county. Some
democratic votes will be given to Cornell direct and
few republican votes will be quietly cast for Rob-
nson. fairly full vote will be ont, and Cornell's
plurality over Robinson is likely to be from fifteen
hundred to seventeen hundred.

1t appears to be well settled that Mr.. John Kelly
will receive number of votes along tho line of the
Erie Railroad, from Middletown to Salamanca.
How many is difficult problem to solve. Several
causes operate to secure this result The laborers

prejudices against Lucius Robinson. They ami
mated by such feelings, am told, solely through
certain dislike to tho Governor on account Of his
action in calling out the militia and issuing fro
