the spokesman forgot his lesson altogether and was
obliged to fall back on his manuscript after which he
got ON very we'll and greatly 10 the reliei oil the audi
ence the thing to end at last and the precious
document was handed to the President
cheer was rased-not very hearty one, and the
President began his reply. He spoke at first In low
tone but he seemed to TO his subject almost un
consciously and before he had proceeded far his
rang loud that must have been distinctly heard
aero Pennsylvania avenue and the large square oppo
site to the White House. Work people and others who
going home in the turned and into the
grounds and very there probably at least two
thousand persons assembled there The Introductory
part of the speech listened 10 in perfect silence but
as the President became more animated the audience
showed more husiasm and made their own comments
aloud on his remarks When he said anything that
pleased them they called out THAT'S so' or "Good,
good" or as man near me constantly cried "Buly
for youl' These comments, however, were unheeded
by the President II could judge from his manner,
he very ceased to think OF the crowd at all, and
became totally absorbed in his subject He spoke
with and aency scarcely pausng Tor word
changing one repeating his arguments occasionally,
and every now and then pausng and looking dclbera
tely with keen sharp glance all the crowd He
has habit of coughing slightly, If to clear his voice
and of interpolang into his remarks in lower ana
aside tone, the words "your attention. although, OF
course there necessity to make any such appeal
His face, well known through his portraits is harder
and serner than these portraits show II full fron
lines, and suggests at glance the great 6rmness and
power which have characterized him every position of
his curious and eventiul life HIS manner is dry
and sardonic, and it was impossible to help laugh
ing at the peculiar changes OF his voice and tone
when he uttered sarcasm; the crowd not only
laughed at such times but eheered enthusiastically
Some passages he spoke through his clnched teeth,
as when he SAID But there is an idea out that one
be a despo that one man can be usurper. but
hundred or ttco hand cdn1ot' As he uttered the
words which have marked in Italics he sank his
and cast particularly doU look at the crowd and his
whole face seemed to settle itself INTO en- intense sneer
The people cheered but do not think the President
was conscious Of it, He spoke and looked like
who dad forgotten everything but what he wished to
say the public far away from Washington. When he
defended himself against the imputaton Of making
despoc exertise Of power he spoke very loudly and
warmly his face flushed and he cried out in tones
which reyerberated the square, what power has

with a comtca effect which l cannot describe
