I essayed to show how the political "machine," its "ring," "boss," and "heeler," might be abolished, and how, consequently, the American plutocracy might be destroyed, and government simplified and contracted to the field of its natural operations.
Joseph watched the birds advance and retire and pursue each other, and after this exhibition they were put back into their baskets and covered with hay. So you are the Heeler? Joseph asked. The man grinned vacantly, and the woman answered for him. There is none like him in this country for fixing a pair of spurs, for cutting the tail and wings and shortening the hackle and the rump feathers.
If one life be lost even a servant of the road a strict judicial inquiry takes place upon the scene of the accident, by a high official of the State, advised by experts, not as in this country, by some drunken country loafer or ward heeler, who, all ignorant of the law, has been "elected" county coroner, and one who is more anxious to procure free passes on the road than he is concerned for the victim murdered by the neglect or parsimony of inefficient railway officials.
By the cockers standing around him, quarrelling and railing at each other, levelling accusations right and left the Heeler wrangling with Lydia, saying it was she that had asked the young penniless to come with them. A mercy it was that he didn't call me a ragamuffin, Joseph said to himself.
He was a hold-over from the Loring administration, not because his place was not worth taking, but because as yet no political heeler had turned up with the requisite technical ability to hold it. "I don't blame you for cussing it out," he said; and the saying of it was a mark of the relaxed discipline which was creeping into all branches of the service. "Mr.
But I came to thank you just the same for helping us out over there." "Glad to help you out when I can," said Hal, with his disarming smile: "or to fight you when I have to." "Shake," said the heeler. "I guess we'll average down into pretty good enemies. Lemme know whenever I can do you a turn." Then there was the electric light fight.
But why it was an advantage to fight from the right rather than from the left Joseph was too excited to inquire, for the cocks had just been put into the ring or pit, and Joseph recognised the tall lank bird that the Heeler had taken out of his basket in the orchard. He's fighting to-day with long spurs, he was told.
A glimpse into the labor world revealed very much the same condition. The boss, and the bosslet, the heeler the men who are "it" all are there exercising the real power, the power that independently of charters and elections decides what shall happen. I don't wish to have this regarded as necessarily malign. It seems so now because we put our faith in the ideal arrangements which it disturbs.
"Who is this Dalgetty fellow Sprague mentions? I never heard of him in politics." "Nor I. Some ward heeler he thinks I resemble, I guess." "He'd have made his point stronger by taking somebody that the plain people know. That's something mugwumps never learn." "And there's another thing they don't grasp," Shelby added.
Now about this Gryson business: you want to handle that yourselves, and I don't want any more telegrams like the one you sent me last night, Gantry. What's the condition?" Gantry outlined the Gryson "condition" briefly. The man Gryson, who had developed into a heeler of sorts, had been growing restive, wanting more money. "What can he swing?" was the curt question.
