Mr.. Burlingame's delivery was cx-
ceedingly effective. He spoke with
the unerring correctness of one WHO
had thoroughly studied his part, and
vet with the absolute freshness and
apparent spontaneity Of man. who
had sprung to his feet with the album
dant fulness of the subject and the
uncomfortable impulse of the occa-
sion. And he had the remarkable
gift Of retaining this freshness and
spontaneity, no matter how frequent
ly he repeated the speech. And the
precision Of his repetition was
among the noteworthy features OF
his oratory. In what is termed a
speech, it is difficult for the
best filed mind and the readiest
tongue to make more than one really
effort. The issues to be
discussed on successive days, pend
ing one election, are so entirely iden.
tical as to admit Of but slight varia-
ton IN the mode of their presenta-
ton by the same speaker. The
prince of ali campaign orators, Tom
Cozwin of Ohio, was in the habit Of
saying that "a man who should NJ
tempt fresh speech on every stump
would never have any speech worth
listening to-" While, therefore, it is.
to be expected that general simi-
larity will Of necessity pervade the
speeches Of any man who attempts
to discuss the issues Of political
it was peculiar to Mr..
Burlingame to deliver day after day
the same speech exactly, verbatim ct
Ateratim ct p1nctuatin. And he was
wise in SO doing. Any attempt to
change the thread Of his argument
Or to vary the ksicitous illustrations
of his rhetoric would have deranged
the entire framework Of that which

yether. He always kept in mind
