and q pathetic episode which brings this out.

was in the Free-trade Hall. The crowd was

very much affected by the badness of the stmos-
phere. Once or twice he had actually to stop in
the middle of his speech, and he declared to
those around him that he could not possibly 60

horne him through such mighty struggles to
ltimate victory, he pulled himself together,
declared that somebody should say what he had
to say, and that if he didn't say it nobody else
could. and he went on heroically to the end. HI
suffered q severe penalty. for he had TO 60 TO bed
immediately after the speech, and remain ia bed
q whole day afterward.
