William Lloyd Garrison will decline all invitations to lecture in the public hereafter. He explains: "I consider my public speaking about terminated. I never engaged in it from the love of it." Garrison says about Wendell Phillips: "Mr. Phillips's acceptance of the Labor Reform nomination really surprises me, seeing he was first nominated by the Temperance party." Wendell Phillips is to speak at a temperance meeting in Rocky Point today. Garrison is bothered by an infestation of mosquitoes in his house. Garrison says: "My skin trouble is called Eczema, 'I burn.'"
