Thiers' first efforts as an orator were
entirely unsuccessful. They disheartened
his friends and caused rejoicing among his
opponents He had apparently made mp
his mind to be Dsnton or Mirabean,
and induiged in forced gestures. unnstural
modulations of the voice, and vehement
rhetoric that provoked irrepressible laugh,
ter instead of inspiring enthusiasm and
dismsy. at the same time, in the salon his
off hand conversation and his monologues
were charming and always drew an admir-
ing circle. A question by the elder Tale
rand, "My dear Tbiers, why do you not
speak from the tribune as you do in the
salon" brought him to his senses. light
dawned upon him his style of speaking
underwent an entire changes. and he be-
came an orator OF kind until then
Dnknown in France-cafm, lucid, and over
whelming by bis logic and his facts.
