Next rose an ex-Senator, who said he had come wholly unprepared to
speak, but, being unexpectedly called upon, had made some brief jottings

(Sounds of approbation.) In conclusion, I will only add that Brown is an
infernal bummer and a sneak." (Cheers.)

bloody-minded condition, fully primed for the election. Shortly
