In an interview in Chicago he said
II am perfectly satified with the result
of my trip east, and my observation is
not based simply on impressions formed
! from the rostrum. To address people
| by the tens of thousands, as | have
done since leaving Chicago, would
naturally carry with it the impression
that the audiences addressed were
swayed by the utterances delivered A
speaker is apt to be carried away by
| such an idea. But when l say that /
| am satisfied with the result of my trip
east, do not mean that my observa-
tions from the speakers stand have led
me to suppose that tho large audi
ences whom have addressed were car
ried away with the principles advo-
Gated, as their applause would appear
| to indicate. Ny estimate is based on
| entirely different sources.
people whom have met and who
have mingled with audiences at demon.
strative gatherings have voluntarily
come forward to assure me that the sen
| timent was veering around toward the
Democratic platform. have taken oc-
casion, after leaving the speaker i
stand, to talk with men whom | havo
| observed in the audience as on tho
doubtful seat, if might so express MY.
self, regarding the currency question.
Such men have come to me afterward
and have expressed themselves as more
than half convinced that the tenets OF
the Chicago platform were after all the
truest in the popular interest Others
have come to me, men who even Cisg.
gree with our party principles, and have
assured me that the change in senti.
ment toward the free coinage of silver
was something they had never seen The
like Of.
added to this, the appreciation
which every public speaker cannot fail
to discern III the eyes OF sympathetic
audience has convinced me that large
proportion of the people whom l have
addressed have been impelled to ap.
plaud, not out Of sympathy with the
speaker, but out of appreciation of the
truths spoken. If speaker be quail
ged to judge of the effect of his
speeches on audiences, then I think
that without egotism I may say the
people whom have met and addressed
are far more enthusiastic in favor oi
free silver than they were when the
campaign began"
