Mr.Train was then in his prime--a large, fine-looking man, a gentleman in dress and manner, neither smoking, chewing, drinking, nor gormandizing.

He was an effective speaker and actor, as one of his speeches, which he illustrated, imitating the poor wife at the washtub and the drunken husband reeling in, fully showed.

He gave his audience charcoal sketches of everyday life rather than argument.

He always pleased popular audiences, and even the most fastidious were amused with his caricatures.

As the newspapers gave several columns to our meetings at every point through all the States, the agitation was widespread and of great value.
