papers of September 24th, of that year.
Immediately after the morning adjournment, Green came up to Peter.
"We've had a count, and can't carry Catlin. So we shan't even put him
up. What do you think of Milton?"
"I don't know him personally, but he has a very good record, I believe."
"He isn't what we want, but that's not the question. We must take what
we can get."
"I suppose you think Porter has a chance."
"Not if we take Milton."
"Between the two I have no choice."
An hour later, the convention was called to order by the chairman. A few
moments sufficed to complete the unfinished business, and then the
chairman's gavel fell, and every one knew without his announcement that
the crucial moment had been reached.
Much to Peter's surprise, Kennedy was one of the members who was
instantly on his feet, and was the one selected for recognition by the
chairman. He was still more surprised when Kennedy launched at once into
a glowing eulogium of Porter.
