DISAPPEARING CHARTISTS. Samuel Bart- lett, whom MR. CECIL CLARKE mentions in an interesting note (ante, p. 86), was not much known as a Chartist outside Chelsea. I do not remember his name in early Chartist days. The Charter was drawn up by Place in 1838. I was a few months older than Harney, and we were both young men in the Chartist movement at the time it took the field. We first met at Birmingham at the Bull Ring Riot in 1839. I was living in the town then. It does not seem long ago. There must be some yet living who, if not prominent, may have been in the ranks ; but in a few years more all the pioneer Chartists will disappear, as the Waterloo veterans have. W. H. Chad- wick is counted the oldest living Chartist in Manchester. He is seventy-five or seventy- six and still appears on the platform. I had not only knowledge but friendship with Julian Harney, Feargus O'Connor, Thomas Cooper, Rev. Joseph Rayner Stephens, Bronterre O'Brien, Joshua Hobson, James Watson, Henry Hetherington, John Cleve, Henry Vincent, Linton, Gam mage, George White, William Lovett, John Collins, and many others. Collins and I were Sunday- school teachers. He was much older than I. In 1848 I was appointed to address the delegates at the Convention, who the next day were going to Kennington Common with a great petition. I was a member of the last Chartist Executive with Feargus O'Connor, who would ask me to walk round Covent Garden with him and talk things over on nights when he was earlier than other members. In Brighton we lately buried William Woodward, who was in his ninetieth year. He was a real old Chartist, who came from prison to Brighton seventy years ago. Like Harney, he was one of the
