ami oftentlmcs unexpected announcement
After supper and during the evening thc

the spacious halls and par1ors Of the fremont

dense assemblage, not one in fifty was ah1e to
see Tic General, much less to speak to him
and the unanimous desire to hear him c,,lni,
mated IN an imperative and unnistakable rail-
1of speech. Although he had determined
10 make no speeches, he finally yielded to the
general wish and mounted an extempore stand
amid the hearty and loud applause Of the
crowd.

t"oe 1or inc reception and the ardor and cn-
1huslasm manifested However much bc |
