So first day out I figured that the place no copper would ever look for me would be like the Field Museum and in the zoo and on the beach and like that. "So, first of all, I join a rubberneck crowd in one of the carryalls with a megaphone guy in charge. And I ride around all day. I got kind of nervous owing to the many coppers we kept passing and exchanging courtesies with.
"You don't object to my listening to criticism of you?" "Not by Humphrey Crewe," laughed Mr. Flint. Early suppers instead of dinners were the rule at Leith on the evening of the historic day, and the candidate himself, in his red Leviathan, was not inconsiderably annoyed, on the way to Ripton, by innumerable carryalls and traps filled with brightly gowned recruits of that organization of Mrs.
Some have long rifles of Daniel Boone's time, not fired for thirty years. And the impedimenta are a sight. Open wagons and conestogas and carryalls and buggies, and even barouches, weighted down with frying-pans and chairs and feather beds. But we've got spirit, and we can whip Lyon's Dutchmen and Yankees just as we are.
There he meekly bought tickets, and they found themselves hurried along in the eager crowd toward the stand.

What they seemed proudest of was that he had been a rail-splitter, for nearly all bore a fence-rail.
