Description: Oliver Johnson reports that Wendell Phillips's speech at Cooper Hall attracted a full audience, and was well received. Johnson informs Garrison that the "efforts of the Herald to create a riot were an utter failure", with the Chief of Police providing a police contingent to safeguard the meeting. Johnson states that the announcement that Theodore Tilton would be lecturing on the war was "received with applause", but that the promise that if demanded by the people, they would recruit Garrison to speak on the war was "received with a perfect storm of applause". Johnson closes by requesting that Garrison speak on the war at Cooper Hall.
