...matter how much they may long to catch every sentence. In fact even a very famous man is entitled, in common with his less celebrated fellows, to the liberty of choosing what he will say and to whom he will say it. If the Viscount could be made to shout on request, which would seem to be what the Post desires, he would indeed be "a restricted Lord Bryce...
Clamor of a crowd is often mistaken for opinion. The art of producing the semblance of a public opinion by a general shout has progressed greatly within a generation. It is easy to provoke such a shout for a catchword which embodies a principle good in itself, without a perception on the part of the crowd that it has its limit, and that they are in effect being urged beyond that limit.

There is a unit in the parade tonight for every energetic Republican, who wants to make it the "largest mob"; and this expression of political faith calls for no backhanded slaps at the Democrats in the modern fashion. It is "old fashioned" and wholesome...
