10 have him speak on another day. This evening
some hundreds OF men and boys crowded the
streets between Hsmpden Hall and the Hampden
House, where Thompson is stopping making
some little noise, but committed no overt acts.
Probably all will pass OIL quietly tonight. Many
have come from other towns to participate In the
PROCEEDINGS. Part Of the Irish population have
been excited against him, which, with other ee-
nents that have been and are at work, renders
It highly probable that he will not be allowed to
speak here unless it may be in the day time.
