There's no small vicious malice or hate in him; but he's overbearing and loves a fight. Is it worth your while to make an enemy of him? We're sure to be beaten." "Of course it isn't worth my while in that sense, but it's my duty, I think, as you think it yours. Remark, too, that I've never attacked Mr. Gulmore never even mentioned him. I've criticised the system, and avoided personalities."
If he had he'd have told him before the event. A sort of nausea overpowered him as he remembered that Hutchings had related how Gulmore had bought Patrick Byrne and now he, too, had sold himself. As in a flash Hutchings' weakness of fibre was laid bare to him. "That's the reason I couldn't find him yesterday." His heart sank within him.
He therefore excited, comparatively speaking, no jealousy; and this, together with the strength of his position, accounts for the fact that he had never been seriously opposed before Professor Roberts came upon the scene. Better far than Lawyer Hutchings, or any one else, Mr. Gulmore knew that the relative strength of the two parties had altered vastly within the year.
"I don't think there's anything to be discussed between us, and as I'm in a hurry to get home to dinner, I think I'll " "Don't you make any mistake," interrupted Mr. Gulmore; "I mean business business that'll pay both you and me, and I guess 'twon't do you any damage to take a seat and listen to me for a few minutes."
Gulmore saw that it had done worse than fail, that it had increased his opponent's energy and added to his popularity, he went to work again to consider the whole situation. He must win and win "big," that was clear; win too, if possible, in a way that would show his "smartness" and demonstrate his adversary's ignorance of the world.
Why, he beat me the second time I ran for District Court Judge, by getting an Irishman, the Chairman of my Committee, to desert me at the last moment. He afterwards got Patrick Byrne elected a Justice of the Peace, a man who knows no law and can scarcely sign his own name." "How disgraceful! And you would have me sit down quietly under the despotism of Mr. Gulmore? And such a despotism!
"I wish I could be there to see him beaten!" Ida had tried to turn her wounded pride into dislike, and was succeeding. "I hate to feel he's in the same town with us the coward!" At this moment Mrs. Gulmore re-entered the room. "To think of it! Sal left the gas-stove flarin'. I made her get up and come downstairs to put it out. That'll learn her!
Jest as I say now, if you withdraw and tell no one and be guided by me in becoming a Republican, I'll do what I ken to get you into Congress," and as he spoke he stood up. Mr. Hutchings rose, too, and said, as if in excuse: "I wanted to think it over, but I'm agreed. I'll do as you say," and with a hurried "Good night!" he left the room. Mr. Gulmore returned to his chair and lit a cigar.
Gulmore," answered the good child, "I thought you had long since ceased visiting us, and we hoped never again to be annoyed by your ministrations.
Then he wonders what the real motives are which induce you to change your political creed. But the affectation of fairness is the danger signal. One can't imagine Gulmore hesitating to assert what he has heard, that you have no religious principles. Coming from him, that means a declaration of war; he'll attack you without scruple persistently.
