"I'll tell you the truth, Morris," he said; "what's the use wasting our time? The proposition ain't attractive. I was born and raised in a one-horse town upstate; and, even though I ain't been back for twenty years, I know what it's like. You'll have to excuse me." "But, Max " Morris commenced.
But Max, with his health impaired and his employment taken away from him, felt and looked a decrepit old man as he tottered upstairs to his third-floor room and flung himself on the bed, where he lay for more than an hour staring at the ceiling. During that interval he reviewed his career from the time he helped his father, a Prussian refugee of 1848, in the little country store upstate.
I've never known an upstate Republican who didn't want to run things here, and I've met many thousands of them in my long service in the Legislature. The hayseeds think we are like the Indians to the National Government that is, sort of wards of the State, who don't know how to look after ourselves and have to be taken care of by the Republicans of St.
He seemed to me to be everything that a lawyer should be. And years ago, when I came to this city a raw country boy from upstate, he represented and embodied for me all the fine traditions of the profession. But the practice of law isn't what it was in his day, Hugh." "No," I agreed, "that could scarcely be expected." "Yes, I believe you realize that," he said.
He said William Matson was really a man named Sam Baker who'd disappeared from his home in upstate New York ten years ago.

"I didn't see anything about it in the papers.
Even sober Tom couldn't help smiling at the good old upstate adjective, consarrned. "He told me a Hun is no good when he loses his gun or his sworrd. You don't think I'm a-scarred of you, do you? It's fifty-fifty two against two, you pair of bloomin' kidnapperrs, and you won't tell 'cause you can't afford to! Same reason as we won't.
Upstate Democrats! I didn't know there was any upstate Democrats. Just walk up and down a while till I see what an upstate Democrat looks like." Another thing. When a campaign is on, did you ever hear of an upstate Democrat makin' a contribution? Not much.
SOME people are wonderin' why it is that the Brooklyn Democrats have been sidin' with David B. Hill and the upstate crowd. There's no cause for wonder. I have made a careful study of the Brooklynite, and I can tell you why. It's because a Brooklynite is a natural-born hay. seed, and can never become a real New Yorker. He can't be trained into it.
You may ask what would become of the upstate people if New York City left them in the lurch and went into the State business on its own account. Well, we wouldn't be under no obligation to provide for them; still I would be in favor of helpin' them along for a while until they could learn to work and earn an honest livin', just like the United States Government looks after the Indians.
She met my father in upstate New York on a hike sponsored by an outing club. When I was fourteen, I sensed that my father was growing tired, detached, and depressed, but I did not understand why. He expressed abstractions better than emotions, and found it difficult to vent the angers and frustrations which had accumulated from work and from home.
