It would take 600 hand presses, 600 hand pressmen and 600 boys three hours to print the edition, and as there were no means of stereotyping in those days the forms would have to be set up 600 times, requiring the services of 5,000 compositors.

"We shall be to these Pressmen as a pot of honey to flies," he observed.

No crowd of Pressmen and sightseers is present; there are no delegates and address, and flowers, and cheers as of yore.
