But I don't trust the principles of the thing, sir; I don't trust them the least little bit, and for me I would rather there were not to be any reforming at all, except for the Chinamen, and I don't care much for them, neither, and that's a fact." "Very good, Mr. Ballymolloy. Every man has a right to his free opinion.
"Well, as you say, Mr. Vancouver, I have been thinking that I and Mr. Jobbins are pretty good friends, and that's just about what it is, I think." "Yes, I remember that on more than one occasion you and he have acted together in the affairs of the state," said Vancouver, thoughtfully. "Ah, but it's the soul of him that I like," answered Mr. Ballymolloy very sweetly.
Ballymolloy was clad in a beautiful suit of shiny black broadcloth, and the front of his coat was irregularly but richly adorned with a profusion of grease-spots of all sizes.

"He has such a beautiful soul, Mr. Jobbins; it does me good, and indeed it does, Mr. Vancouver." "As you say, sir, a man full of broad human sympathies. Nevertheless I feel sure that on the present occasion your political interests will lead you to follow the promptings of duty, and to vote in favor of the Democratic candidate. I wish you and I did not differ in politics, Mr. Ballymolloy."
