Seanlan and O'Neil Russell, the popular Irish
orators. HIessrs John Carroll, Michael Sweet
man, James Geraghty and Paul Fitzgerald were
the committee on reception the speakers being
introduced tothe audience by the latter gentle-
man. The principles of the Republican platform,
as applicable TO the Irish Of America, and the
salutary results that must necessarily follow a
proper examination of the same was presented in
very clear and comprehensive style.
The emigrants from ireland, suffer
ing from the persecution and cruelties
practiced on them at home, are led to believe,
when they come to this country, that the Demo-
cratic party is their particular friend and pro-
tector, and they ally themselves with that party.
But they are cruelty deceived They are placed
in false light before their feliow-citizens, and
fail to command the respect that they otherwise
would The speakers were frequently applauded
during the progress of the meeting.

five hundred acres under cultivation.
This is very fine country, land Is
rich and fertile. Wheat averages from
25 to 3S bushels per acre. 1t is also a
good stock raising country, as during
the winter young cattle get their own
living. The buffalo grass dies down In
June, and seems to retain most OF Its
nourishment, and stock keep fat on it.
This winter has been very severe and
snow too plenty.
People are anticipating large yield
of crops the coming season on account
the severe cold and deep snow. A
large emigration is expected this sea-
son, and those that have land here value
it highly.
All vacant land near here has been
taken, but some of the settlers have
land for sale. We often receive letters
of inquiry from your section in regard
to this country. We have railroads five
miles west Of US, and expect one
nearer on the east this summer. Water
Is plenty by digging for it. There are
no springs In this vicinity. The water
In the James river which flows through

warmest months. This is new county,
but now has population Of eight
thousand and produced over a million
bushels of wheat the past season.
