The keeper brought a stew of canned oysters. The lobbyist served it, and Mr. Leggett talked on. "Thass the diffunce 'twixt me and Gyarnit. That man's afraid o' me jess as 'fraid as a chicken-hawk is of a gun, seh! an' which nobody knows why essep' him an' me. But thass jess the diff'ence. Nobody reputes him to steal, an' I don't say he do.
"You say, there, that Cornelius says its officers are mere tools in the power of men who have put them there; that Gamble's behind Crickwater, Bulger's behind Mattox, and he, Leggett, is behind Pettigrew yes don't interrupt, there isn't time and that Colonel Proudfit got the money to buy stock enough to elect himself president, by persuading his wife to mortgage everything she has got.

With thoughts of him come those of Parke Godwin, who joined the Evening Post staff the year after Leggett left it, who as long as the poet lived was his close friend, and who, marrying Bryant's daughter Fanny, wove closer year by year the relations that bound them.

Democracy such as William Leggett believed and practised, democracy in its full and all- comprehensive significance, is destined to be the settled political faith of this republic.
John looked into the upturned face for some seconds before he said, slowly and pleasantly, "Why, you dirty dog!" He gave the horse a cut of the whip. Leggett smiling and staggering, called after him, to the delight of all the street, "Mr. Mahch, thass confidential, you know! An' Mr. Mahch! Woe! Mr. Mahch."
So when he was to work one day she threw the skull into the ash can, and when old Leggett come home and saw the skull missing he swore like the devil and come down to the station to swear out a warrant for his wife's arrest, chargin' her with disorderly conduct.
Leggett swo' it shouldn't even so much as go to the gove'neh to sign aw to veto till that fund seh? annual, yes, seh was divided at least evm, betwix Rosemont an' the Suez high school." "Hear, hear!"
