The contemplative man's ejaculation: It is impossible, on viewing these Cyclopean cliffs, to repress the thought, How great is Nature, how little Man! The last entry was a brief one: J. MacGuire, Liverpool. September 2nd, 1886. Twilight forced me to close the book and put it back in its place.
We can't afford to have him district attorney, to let a demagogue like him get a start. The men the Republicans and Democrats have nominated are worse than useless. Parks is no good, and neither is MacGuire. If only we could have foreseen this thing we might have had better candidates put up but there's no use crying over spilt milk. You'll have to go on the stump, Hugh that's all there is to it.

It puzzled and troubled me. The Citizens Union began its campaign early that autumn, long before the Hons. Jonathan Parks and Timothy MacGuire Republican and Democratic candidates for Mayor thought of going on the stump. For several weeks the meetings were held in the small halls and club rooms of various societies and orders in obscure portions of the city.
Vogel succumbed to the climate about a year afterwards, on a journey to Adamawa. After his death Macguire was killed on his way home, and Church returned with Dr Barth. While Vogel pursued his journey to Zinda, Barth proceeded on to Kukawa.
Parks, the Republican candidate, did not denounce Mr. MacGuire, the Democratic candidate. Republican and Democratic speakers alike expended their breath in lashing Mr. Krebs and the Citizens Union. It is difficult to record the fluctuations of my spirit.
