That will give some idea of the business traffic. An experienced electioneerer said: "We had an awful fight before we could return Lord Frederick Hamilton for North Tyrone. We had all our work cut out, for although we have on paper a majority of about one hundred, many of our people are non-resident landlords, or army and navy men, and they are not here to vote for us.
The time lost in such kind, trifling intercourse is in the aggregate immense. But, Goy! I do love these people." "It seems to me that you encourage that exaction." "Well, I do. As an electioneerer, I can get away with any of 'em. Goy!
A very few hours sufficed to show the sea-captain to be a most capital electioneerer for a popular but not enlightened constituency.
He was a great electioneerer, as befitted times when the claims of two rival dynasties virtually met upon the hustings, and he took a prominent part in the great Yorkshire contest of the year 1734. His most vigorous display of energy, however, was made, as was natural, in "the '45."
It had lain there fifteen years, since the electioneerer had stuck it there as easily as one might place it on a table. Lincoln's coquetting with the science of Gunter, Jack of all trades that he was, empowered him to perpetrate a fine pun on the United States surveyor-general in California, General Beall.
Molyneux, was still more formidable; not as an electioneerer, but as a man of talents and unimpeached integrity, which had been successfully exerted in the service of his country.

The kind of life which he had led was one to which impudence was essentially necessary.
It is all I can do to forgive this. Wheeler might well say you are a bad electioneerer. Talb. Oh, hang it! I forgot my election, and your fifty-six friends. Enter RORY O'RYAN. Fifty-six friends, have you, Talbot?
Ay, contrary to your expectations, you find that Talbot is not a dog that will lick the dust: but then there's enough of the true spaniel breed to be had for whistling for; hey, Wheeler? A pretty electioneerer. So much the better for you, Wheeler. Why, unless he bought a vote, he'd never win one, if he talked from this to the day of judgment.
"There was no place for the intrusion of the rabble in crowds, or for the mere coarse and boisterous partisan," says Colonel Stone in some remarks upon these receptions. "There was no place for the vulgar electioneerer or impudent place-hunter. On the contrary, they were select, and more courtly than have been given by any of Washington's successors.
