I don't believe General Waymouth intends to straddle. He'll enforce the law." "And kill his party?" inquired the old man, sarcastically. "Oh no, my boy. The party has looked out for that. It isn't taking any chances with a man who might get morally rambunctious. The Governor of this State hasn't anything to do with enforcing the prohibitory law. We've kept all the clubs out of his hands.
His temper got away from him. "You've held your nose up pretty high in this world, General Waymouth! Do you call a trick to steal my nomination away from me at the last moment gentlemanly or decent? I've put in my time and my money and my efforts. I've made a campaign. And I've waited for this!" "You needn't insult the General in that fashion, Dave," broke in Thornton. "Address your talk to me.
For a guilty moment Harlan remembered the admonitions of Madeleine Presson. He was promptly ashamed that they had come to his mind when the Governor spoke his fears. "I'm going to tell you just why I'm a bit slow in this matter," he said, manfully. "It may seem a trivial reason to you, Governor Waymouth.
The General received the young couple with marked graciousness. "Governor Waymouth, you have convinced me to-day that you are the apostle of universal salvation for the wicked in politics," said the girl. "I hope the doctrine will be accepted." "In that belief you are safe companion for my first disciple," he returned, humoring her jest. The crowd carried them on.
The chairman was no altruist in politics. He didn't propose to cultivate the spirit. He put it plainly to General Waymouth that while he sympathized to some extent with the latter's desires for general reform, there were certain interests that propped the party and must be handled with discretion in the clean-up.
Some said that a lady knit for him a garter of silk, by which he was conveyed down, and that she received L100 for her pains." My Lord is chosen at Waymouth this morning; my Lord had his freedom brought him by Captain Tiddiman of the port of Dover, by which he is capable of being elected for them. This day I heard that the Army had in general declared to stand by what the next Parliament shall do.
"By the eternal gods, you won't have the power placed there!" roared the chairman of the State Committee. Now some one called to them from outside the door, repeating the rapping. "When you say that, you're confessing that the Republican party is a sneak, Presson," declared the General. The Duke came along to the table. He ticked his forefinger against the paper that Waymouth was holding.
He still lacked the prick of party enthusiasm; party, as he had seen its operations, stood for some pretty sordid actualities. One thing comforted him: he had not lost his faith in General Waymouth. His grandfather's cynicism had not destroyed that. He realized that his youth and his lack of experience would make him a very humble cog in the legislative machinery.
That will be elevating accidents onto too high a plane. If Vard Waymouth is the next Governor of this State there'll be some wire fences that he won't be able to sit on. There'll be too many barbs. We'll put top rails onto all the fences we can. But you can't make any fence safe for those that are bound to butt head-first into barbed wire. Waymouth isn't the kind to do any butting.
Harlan had been included in his invitation, and attended his chief. With old-fashioned gallantry, General Waymouth made his compliments to the ladies whom Mrs. Presson had assembled to grace the occasion. Her little crust of social earth had been tossed alarmingly by the political earthquake, but she felt that now she was finding safe footing once more.
