Slugby, who was present when the result was announced, said that it was extremely inconvenient for him to go, but that he held it to be the duty of every man to march at the call of the party. His private affairs would undoubtedly suffer, but he held that every man's private interest must give way to the good of his party. He could say the same thing for his friend, Mr.
"And I surely need not add that it would be the first and most sacred point of honor with this candidate to serve his party in every thing, to be the unswerving advocate of all its measures, and implicitly obedient to all its behests," said General Belch. "Which behests are to be learned by him from the authorized leaders of the party," said Mr. Enos Slugby.
Enos Slugby rose, and called for three cheers for "the Honorable Abel Newt, our next talented and able representative in Congress." The Convention rose and roared. "Members of the Convention who wish to call upon the candidate will fall into line!" shouted Mr. Condor; then leading the way, and followed by the members, he went down stairs into the street.
"Have 'em up in time, and don't let them get high until after the election of delegates. It was thought that perhaps Mr. Musher and I had better go to the Convention. It's just possible, Jim, that some of Bodley's friends may make trouble." "No fear, Mr. Slugby, we'll take care of that. Who do you want for chairman of the meeting?" answered Jim. "Edward Gasserly is the best chairman.
I'll write the names of the delegates on this." Mr. Slugby tore off a piece of paper from a letter in his pocket, and wrote the names.

A few evenings afterward the Convention met. Mr. Slugby was appointed President, and Mr. William Condor Secretary.
"I am, fellow-citizens, your obliged, faithful, and humble servant, WATKINS BODLEY." In pursuance of the call the meetings were held. Jim, Tom, and Ned were early on the ground in their respective districts, with about thirty chosen friends. In Jim's district Mr. Gasserly was elected chairman, and Messrs. Musher and Slugby delegates to the Convention. Mr.
"What in shall we do?" gasped Mr. Enos Slugby, walking rapidly up and down the room. "Who let him get drunk?" demanded General Belch, angrily. Nobody answered. "Newt! Newt! Newt!" surged in from the street. "Thunder and devils, there's nothing for it but to prop him up on the balcony!" said General Belch. "Come now, heave to, every body, and stick him on his pins."
