My Fellow Citizens: hardly think that you

will have to make some other arrangements
than those you now have on hand. I suppose l
am capable of addressing some five thousand in

can any man, to address all Washington.
Laughter and applause.I
understand, my fellow citizens, from very
close and daily reading OF the brilliant paper
you have here, that you are all boilers. That

Chronicle. If you are boilers, would like to
see the remnant that You have bolted from.
tLaugeter.l IL seems to me that we are all here
tonight. Laughter and applause.l

up in front OF the mass of humanity with which
the space was crowded.
