Ford, Paul Leicester, 1865-1902

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

He said they must go unbound."
The interviewer's next remark is best represented by several "blank
its," no allusion however being intended to bed-coverings. Then he cited
the lower regions to know what it all meant.
"It means that that chap Stirling has got to be fixed, and fixed big. I
thought I knew how to wire pull, and manage men, but he's taken hold and
just runs it as he wants. It's he makes all the trouble."
The interviewer left the court, and five minutes later was in Stirling's
office.
"My name's Green," he said. "I'm a delegate to the convention, and one
of the committee who has the arranging of the special train and
accommodations at Saratoga."
"I'm glad you came in," said Peter. "I bought my ticket yesterday, and
the man at headquarters said he'd see that I was assigned a room at the
United States."
"There'll be no trouble about the arrangements. What I want to see you
for, is to ask if you won't dine with me this evening? There's to be
several of the delegates and some big men there, to talk over the
situation.
