TO the EdstoT..
Please insert the following notice
i'll your paper, if you are in any way
or shape in sympathy with reform in
politics.
The above is a note TO the editors
of this paper, sent Us. we suppose, by
one Parker c. Chandler. chairman Of
the committee on organization OF the
.Bristow Club, of Boston, Mass. The
note refers to circular of some
length. headed "a Notice to Reforms
ers.r The circular advocates the
nomination of Secretary Bristow for
President, and requests correspon-
dence with the club to the end that
that organization may distribute
throughout the country papers and
pamphlets advocating Mr.. Bristow'st
nomination at Cincinnati. While we
do not print the entire circnlar, yet
we give all the necessary data con-
tanned in the circular to our readers,
that they may know whom to address
for printed arguments in behalf OF
Mr.. Bristow Also accompanying
this is circular, which would make
) two columns in our paper, entitled:
I Dssistosc and Reform; also another
circular Of about the same length, be-
ing brief mention of the life and
pnbl.Y services of Mr.. Bristow.
Now, having done this much, we
come to say what was our chief
object in writing this article. The
