The Union raised money for the ratification campaigns in New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, West Virginia, Delaware and Tennessee and sent workers to assist them and also to secure a special session in Vermont. Notwithstanding this letter the State Suffrage Association used its whole strength against Senator Brandegee's election on November 2.
Brandegee's library had hardly closed behind that earliest flock of his autumn birds, before the door by which he had entered swung open, and a fine-looking, middle-aged matron stood in it, remarking, "My dear, there are more than a dozen waiting in the parlor. Have you not spent a great deal of time on those four?" "They're worth it, Mary.
Brandegee's, and his friends attended him nearly to the gate. They would have been glad to have had a report of his visit from him, on his return; but he had his "chores" to do then, and any amount of careful instruction concerning them to receive from Mrs. Myers and Almira.
"Bully for you," said Ford; "but you mustn't forget there's a stove in our room, when cold weather comes. Got your books out?" "Here they are. I will pile them upon the table." "Stick to it, Dick," said Ford. "But it's about time we set out for Dr. Brandegee's. Dab, hadn't we better kindle a fire before we go? It makes me feel chilly to think of it."
I'd like to know if we need be afraid of any thing Joe and Fuz Hart could go through?" "Well, I guess not," replied Dab. "Let's push ahead." He found himself leading the procession when it went through Dr. Brandegee's front gate; and there was a look of admiration on Dick's face, when he saw how promptly and courageously "Captain Dab Kinzer" pulled that door-bell.
They would have been late indeed, if they had stopped to talk with every one who wanted to admire Dab's big pickerel and Ford's remarkable bass; but a little good management brought them to Dr. Brandegee's in not much more than five times the number of minutes needed to walk the distance. The fish were handed to the door-opener with, "The compliments of Mr. Harley, Mr. Kinzer, and Mr.
I'd ha' fetched it. But I'm glad I had a chance to set him right about that scrimmage. I thought those three chaps were kind o' stuck up, but everybody'll know where to place 'em now." There was nothing like anger, or even disapproval, on Dr. Brandegee's face when he walked away; but he was muttering, "Know how to box, do they? I thought I saw something like it.
Harvey being, in a sort, Brandegee's ambassador to the Court of Saint James, the Senator's object was to tell Mr. Hughes what Harvey should do in the Supreme Council. Mr. Brandegee has the gift of direct and forceful speech. In his earnestness, he dispenses with the elegancies and amenities. The upper ranges of his voice are not conciliatory.
Brandegee's plea in avoidance is to agree to the eternal poverty of American political life, for most of our presidents have been precisely like Warren G. Harding, first-class second raters. Mrs. Harding, a woman of sound sense and much energy, had an excellent instructive answer to the "why."
