Crowd estimated at 10,000 gathers for Republican demonstration. One of speakers at five different stands is Lincoln. "He made a very fair and argumentative address", opposition paper comments, "but was far too conservative and Union loving in his sentiments to suit his audience; and upon one occasion at least, his hearers protested in emphatic tones against his views." Michigan History Magazine, V, 287-88; Speech at Kalamazoo, Michigan, 27 August 1856, CW, 2:361-66.
