The president, Mr. P. J. O’Regnn, eulogised the deceased ns a man who had peculiarly strong claims on the gratitude of Irishmen the world over. As a journalist and man of letters, Mr. Stead had enjoyed a powerful influence, and it was to hi's lasting honour that he had always used it in tho cause of justice.
