Fremont rally draws large crowd. Speakers address crowd from four
stands. At stand No. One, Trumbull leads off. "Mr. Lincoln succeeded
him in a speech that echoed the universal heart, while the stands
two, three and four were also invested with listening crowds, that
ever and anon, sent up a chorus of cheers, like the first full notes
of victory."
