Ford, Paul Leicester, 1865-1902

"The Honorable Peter Stirling and What People Thought of Him"


"Mr. Muldoon," said that officer.
"Oi spoke first," shouted Dennis, and Peter felt that he had, and that
he was not having fair play.
Instantly a wave of protest, denials, charges, and counter-charges swept
through the room, Peter thought there was going to be a fight, but the
position was too critical to waste a moment on what Dennis styled "a
diversion." It was business, not pleasure, just then.
"Mr. Muldoon," said the officer again, not heeding the tempest in the
least.
"Mr. Chairman," shouted Muldoon, "I am proud to nominate Justice
Gallagher, the pride of the bar, for chairman of this distinguished
meeting, and I move to make his election unanimous."
"Misther Chairman," shouted Dennis.
"Mr. Moriarty," said the officer.
"Misther Chairman, Oi have the honor to nominate for chairman av this
meetin' the people's an' the children's friend, Misther Peter Stirling,
an' Oi don't have to move to make it unanimous, for such is the
intelligince an' manhood av this meetin' that it will be that way for
shure.
