There were stiU people who thought of the men across the mountains as incessantly wielding bowie- knives. They had heard of Mr. Lincoln's extraordinary height, of his story-telling, 126 A NEW CANDIDATE something of his early struggles. Part of his audience that night came expecting to see a mountebank; part from a keen inter- est in his speeches as reported in the news- papers. All were intensely curious. He, on his part, was equally curious to test the effect of his words on a representative E...astern audience such as fiUed Cooper In- stitute to overflowing. His hearers saw a very tall man with a sad, strongly marked face, perfectly self- possessed, who began his address quietly and soberly, as though he were addressing a court ; who told not a single story, and who used so few gestures that, as one of his auditors expressed it, the speech might almost have been delivered from the head of a barrel. Yet the impressive earnest- ness of his manner, the power and closeness of his reasoning, and the fairness of all the conclusions he drew, held their absorbed attention.
