Harnden did not look to right or left as his horse trotted past. He did not appear to be interested in the affairs of Egyptians that day even in the case of the town's chief executive.

As he neared the polls in the slow succession of advancing voters, Benito was beset by a rabble of low-voiced, rough-dressed men, who thrust their favorite tickets into his hands and bade him vote as indicated, often in a threatening manner. Raucously they tried to cry each other down. "Here's for Geary and the good old council," one would shout. "Geary and his crowd forever."
