The intentions of the other city delegates were next introduced.
Finally the probable planks of the platform were brought up. While they
were still under discussion Gallagher said the sitting of his court
compelled him to leave.
"I'll come in some time when I have more to spare."

"Well," said Gallagher, "I've done all I could to put things straight.
