Schryhart kicked out his well-rounded legs, adjusted his soft-roll collar, and smoothed his short, crisp, wiry, now blackish-gray mustache. His black eyes flashed an undying hate. At this point Mr. Arneel, with a cogency of reasoning which did not at the moment appear on the surface, inquired: "Do any of you happen to know anything in particular about the state of Mr.
That section of the press formerly beholden to Hand and Schryhart stood out as bitterly as ever; and most of the other newspapers, being under no obligation to Eastern capital, felt it the part of wisdom to support the rank and file. The most searching and elaborate mathematical examinations were conducted with a view to showing the fabulous profits of the streetcar trust in future years.
"But to go back to this other matter, most of the men that are behind this General Electric ordinance and this 'L' road franchise were in the gas business Blackman, Jules, Baker, Schryhart, and others and they are angry because I came into their field, and angrier still because they had eventually to buy me out.
In the offices of Schryhart, Arneel, Hand, and Merrill, as well as in other centers of finance, there was considerable puzzling over the situation, and then a shrewd, intelligent deduction was made. "Do you see what he's up to, Hosmer?" inquired Schryhart of Hand. "He sees that we have him scotched here in Chicago.
"If we don't win this game here in Chicago, we will somewhere." He was thinking of the brilliant manner in which he had adjusted his affairs with the old gas companies and Mr. Schryhart, and how thoroughly he would handle some other matters when the time came. Undercurrents
Schryhart, a man of great physical and mental vigor, six feet tall, hale and stolid as an ox, a very different type of man from Anson Merrill, met Addison one day at the Calumet Club shortly after the newspaper talk began. Sinking into a great leather divan beside him, he observed: "Who is this man Cowperwood whose name is in the papers these days, Addison? You know: all these people.
It is very plain to me now that the man is thoroughly bad from the crown of his head to the soles of his feet. It's a pity the city has to endure him." "So you're just beginning to find that out, are you, Hosmer?" answered Schryhart. "Well, I'll not say I told you so. Perhaps you'll agree with me now that the responsible people of Chicago ought to do something about it."
Schryhart and his associates were amazed at this swiftness of action, this dizzy phantasmagoria of financial operations. It looked very much to the conservative traction interests of Chicago as if this young giant out of the East had it in mind to eat up the whole city.
Cowperwood and state to him directly the decision we have reached and the reasons for it? I presume all of us would agree that he should be notified." "I think he should be notified," said Mr. Merrill, who saw behind this smooth talk the iron club that was being brandished. Both Hand and Schryhart looked at each other and Arneel while they politely waited for some one else to make a suggestion.
"It doesn't appear that you have extended any particular courtesy to Hull or Stackpole." His face was red and scowling. "Because," replied Cowperwood, smiling, and ignoring the reference to his trick, "I know why this meeting was called. I know that these gentlemen here, who are not saying a word, are mere catspaws and rubber stamps for you and Mr. Schryhart and Mr. Arneel and Mr. Merrill.
