Father Fahey did not disappoint them. He proceeded to show that the appointment of the new station-master was a deliberate insult to the faith of the inhabitants of Clogher. 'Are we, he asked, 'to submit tamely to having the worst evils of the old ascendancy revived in our midst? He was followed by the dispensary doctor, who also began by declaring his freedom from bigotry.
It did not conquer by its bigotry, by its intolerance, its cruel persecuting spirit, but by its higher mental and spiritual stamina.

No regular established commonwealth could take juster measures, or execute them with greater promptitude, than did this tumultuous combination, inflamed with bigotry for religious trifles, and faction without a reasonable object.
