There can be no doubt that it was this outcry that called forth the speech, and similarly there can be no doubt that Mr. Roosevelt is well informed of the extent of the outcry, but whether the Boston Tories secure in a brass-bound provincialism, are well aware of the currents of thought elsewhere in the country can fairly be doubted...
