The largest building in the city was what was known as Kilgore Hall on Market street, since enlarged into the National theatre. The seats were removed, and at the hour of meeting the hall was a compact mass of standing auditors. The writer has a vivid recollection of the impression Stanton made as he walked slowly towards the front of the platform. Was that feeble tottering man the giant who had borne on his shoulders the weight of the greatest rebellion the world had ever known? Was this the m...an whose very look paralyzed the fraudu lent contractor, the government thief, or the smooth tongued spy? Stanton was not quite 54 years old, but he had condensed a long lifetime in the previous six years. He sat while delivering his address, but when he came to a climax or a point which he wished to emphasize he slowly arose from his chair, and with his outstretched arm and deep penetrating voice he gave one an idea of the Stanton of ante-bellum days. The speech was a most powerful one, and was an exhaustive review of the causes which led to the War of the Rebellion, the sacrifices made to preserve the Union, a sketch of General Grant s career and the issues involved in that campaign.
