These were all the movables of a family of nine. The mattress was left inside too horrible a sight, after what had taken place, to be exposed to the light of day. We passed Honora Bristow and myself with a "gossip" or two, who had come to see what I was after, into the back kitchen, for the wifeslayer had two rooms en suite, though the family elected to occupy only one.
'I say, Smithy, said Bristow. He spoke in rather an awed voice. 'Say on, Comrade Bristow, said Psmith graciously. 'You have our ear. You would seem to have something on your chest in addition to that Neapolitan ice garment which, I regret to see, you still flaunt. If it is one tithe as painful as that, you have my sympathy. Jerk it out, Comrade Bristow.
Today I enter the building, blythe and buoyant, worn, of course, from the long struggle, but seeing with aching eyes the dawn of another, better era, and there is Comrade Bristow in a satin tie. It's hard, Comrade Jackson, it's hard, I tell you. 'Look here, Smith, said Mike, 'I wish you'd go round to the Cash and find out what's up with old Waller. He's got the hump about something.
Bristow had perforce seen a good deal of the seamy side of politics, and of the extent of the unscrupulousness with which powerful influence was brought to bear to shield offenders.
The simple dignity and strength of Fulton's bearing was even more impressive than it had been during their first talk. The lines were still deep in his face, but his eyes glowed splendidly, and this time, when he rested his hands on the chair-arms, they were steady. "I've come to beg news," he announced, his apologetic smile very winning. "Just what news?" returned Bristow.
"They're going to take the body to Atlanta on the four o'clock," said Greenleaf. For a moment they watched the receding automobile. Then Bristow inquired, "What's the new thing you've dug up?" "The report from the Charlotte laboratories." "Oh, you got that by wire?" The lame man seemed indifferent about it. "Yes; by wire," Greenleaf paused, as if he enjoyed whetting the other's curiosity.
So saying, Bob led the squatter behind the cabin and began making some very particular inquiries concerning Bristow and his party: What sort of looking fellows were they? What did they say? Did they get anything to eat at the cabin? and did his friend the squatter really think they had gone toward the old Brazos trail?
When we arrived at Bristow, the next station south of Manassas, an engagement had just taken place, in which Gen. A. P. Hill had been disastrously outwitted by his adversary, General Warren, and the ground was still strewn with our dead.
Bristow, responding warmly to the other's voice and mood, leaned forward and grasped his hand. "Good!" he said. "That's fine and I'm with you." "It's the only way to look at this work. Without the proper ideals, it's a rotten business. But, with the right viewpoint, it's great, at times far more valuable than the work of lawyers and judges."
Instantly the sectional hatred flared up and Blaine, already a well-known leader, became a prominent candidate for the nomination. Republican reformers generally favored Bristow. A third-term boom for Grant was effectively crushed by an adverse resolution in the House. The Republican nominating convention met on June 14.
