Ford, Paul Leicester, 1865-1902

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

Even Moriarty, who was his
strong card, has gone back on him."
"Will you make a couple of speeches for us in this ward?"
"If you'll let me say what I want?"
"You can support us?"
"Yes."
"Then we'll leave it to you. Only beware of making too many statements.
You'll get dates and places from the committee as soon as they are
settled. We pay twenty-five dollars a night. If you hit the right key,
we may want you in some of the other wards, too."
"I shall be glad to talk. It's what I've been doing to small crowds in
the saloons."
"So I'm told. You'll never get a better place. Men listen there, as they
never will at a mass-meeting." Costell rose. "If you are free next
Sunday, come up into Westchester and take a two o'clock dinner with me.
We won't talk politics, but you shall see a nice little woman, who's
good enough to make my life happier, and after we've looked over my
stables, I'll bring you back to the city behind a gray mare that will
pass about anything there is on the road.
