 Boston Post of speech in Fanueil Hall: Showed that he understands speech making, and drew on a de- lightful fund of sarcasm.
 Sedalia, Mo-, Daily Capital: A big man, tall, broad, commanding. He takes with an audience. When he bends down from his great height and impressively taps his two fore fingers together he produces that breathless quiet that denotes pos session of his hearers. He Kept an audience oscillating between laugh ter and applause for an hour and 40 minutes.
 Seattle, Wash, Times: Showed a spirit of youth, and his address was alive with wit, humor, sound advice and strength.
 Metropolis, H.. Herald: His lect- ure was one of the really great feat ures of the assembly. He is mas terly man.
 Vienna. H., Times: The communi- ty thoroughly enjoyed the whirl- wind oratory of the hour. It was new, helpful and inspiring. It was instructive, brilliant and convincing.
 San Jose, Cal, Herald: Almost every sentence was punctuated with cheers and applause and laughter, and the speakers rhetoric fell from his lips in forceful logic on pointed illustration.
 John Temple Graves, Atlanta, Ga.: Mir Chain is one of the most magnet ic men that Ihave listened to on the platform. I feel sure that any audi ence in America would hear him with delight.
