"Munno.... It's not exactly a sermon, you know. It's just kind of a friendly talk, you know, in a common-sense way." Mr. Kernan deliberated. Mr. M'Coy said: "Father Tom Burke, that was the boy!" "O, Father Tom Burke," said Mr. Cunningham, "that was a born orator. Did you ever hear him, Tom?" "Did I ever hear him!" said the invalid, nettled. "Rather! I heard him...."
Though he had never embraced more than the Jewish ethical code, his fellow-Catholics, whenever they had smarted in person or by proxy under his exactions, spoke of him bitterly as an Irish Jew and an illiterate, and saw divine disapproval of usury made manifest through the person of his idiot son. At other times they remembered his good points. "I wonder where did he go to," said Mr. Kernan.
In the political life of America, many of the sons of Ireland have risen to eminence, and in the legislative halls at the National Capital, the names of Kelly, Fitzpatrick, Broderick, Casserly, Farley, Logan, Harlan, Hannegan, Adair, Barry, Rowan, Gorman, Kennedy, Lyon, Fitzgerald, Fair, Sewall, Kernan, Butler, Moore, Regan, Mahone, Walsh, and Flannegan, are still spoken of with respect among the lawmakers of the nation.
I was elected as the presiding officer of the Liberal Republican convention and also was made unanimously its nominee for lieutenant-governor.

He was fond, moreover, of giving side-thrusts at Catholicism. Mr. Cunningham was the very man for such a case. He was an elder colleague of Mr. Power. His own domestic life was very happy.

"Perhaps you're right," said Mr. Kernan, relenting. "Of course I'm right," said Mr. Cunningham. "I haven't been in the world all this time and seen most sides of it without being a judge of character."

We went into Butler's in Moore Street faith, was genuinely moved, tell you the God's truth and I remember well his very words. Kernan, he said, we worship at different altars, he said, but our belief is the same.
