Lincoln speaks on Nebraska Bill before large audience at North Market Hall. Newspaper comments: "The impression created by Mr. Lincoln on all men, of all parties, was first, that he was an honest man, and second, that he was a powerful speaker. Abraham Lincoln never trims a speech to suit a latitude—he is always the same man." Chicago Journal, 30 October 1854; Speech at Chicago, Illinois, 27 October 1854, CW, 2:283-84.
