EDITORS CHRONICLE: Bristol Is grow
ing town and is bound to be large place.
1t is in the midst of q rich country, fine
farming lands and accessible to markets.
The only advantage needed to bring it up
to its eliminating point is the great road
through Cumberland Gap OH to Louisville,
Cincinnati and st. Louis. When that is
completed Bristol becomes an important
point. Improvements are going forward
very rapidly and town lots are in demand.
The citizens are hopeful and sanguine and
evince a good deal of vim in pushing up
their growing town.
Slack, of the Bristol Courier, is hard at
work as busy as bee. lie deserves sue
cess. He is highly esteemed as gentle
man and as a newspaper man. His paper

Free Traders in Council.

NEW YORK, May 3l.-At the Free Trade
meeting in Steinway Hall two thousand
persons were present. William Cullen Brys
amt presided. The feeling of the meeting
was incohercnt, rs evidenced by equal
cheers and Kisses when names were men,
toned or propositions made. The follow
inc, among other resolutions was adopted:
RCsOIrcd, That with the general relaXa-
lion of old party ties and with n growing
distrust felt toward professional and politi-
cal leaders. the country turns for counsel
to the independent thinkers in the ranks OF
either party, and therefore the late con-
vention at Cincinnati was regarded rs
hopeful in the trust that itwOuld lay down
some sound and adequate platform OF prln-
cDlcs. and that it would likewise nOmI-
nate a candidate whose freedom from all
associations with odiOus political rings and
whose whole record on the questions OF
the present and future should give assur-
ance that his election would bring with
it the radical changes for the better.
Rcsolccd, That both platform and can
didate Of the Cincinnati convention have
caused a deep disappointment and rem
dered impossi bic that cooperation OF all
reforming influences without the union OF
winch success is impossible.
