O; Davis appearing before the public to
make Speech OF the people inviting him |
10 to 80, and OF the enthusiastic reception |
he met with, was enough to arouse the i
Indignation OF loyal Union men both /
in the Norh and South. Unless he |
had boldly and frankly ignored the |
past, acknowledged the mistake he |
and the South made, and accepted the /
