"
Peter saw a hurried consultation going on between Gallagher, Muldoon,
and two others, during the latter part of this speech, and barely had
Dennis finished his remarks, when Justice Gallagher spoke up.
"Mr. Chairman."
"The Honorable Justice Gallagher," said that gentleman.
"I take pride in withdrawing in favor of Mr. Stirling, who so justly
merits the honor of presiding on this important occasion. From recent
events too well known to need mention, I am sure we can all look to him
for justice and fairness."
"Bad cess to him!" groaned Dennis. "Oi hoped they'd be just fools enough
to oppose yez, an' then we'd have won the first blood."
Peter was chosen without dissent, and was escorted to the seat behind
the desk.
"What is the first business before the meeting?" he asked of Gallagher,
aside, as he was taking his seat.
"Election of delegates to the State convention. That's all to-night," he
was told.
Peter had presided at college in debates, and was not flurried.
