Impossible" he said. Very few of them would support me in any circumstances" You are mistaken, Hampden,' was Thwing's answer. 'On the contrary, they will"
 Scarborough interrupted with an impatient motion of the head. I'm. possible!" he repeated. But in any case, why should they send you to me? My speeches speak for themselves. Surely no intelligent man could fancy that my election would mean harm | to any legitimate business great or small east or west. You've known me for 20 years, Thwing.

 q have been reassuring them" Thwing answered. q tell them that you are about the last man in the world to permit mob rule" Precisely" said Scarborough. T propose to continue to do what I can to break up the mob that is being led by demagogues disguised as cap tains of industry and advance agents of prosperity-led on to pillage the resources of the country, its riches and its character"
 { This ought to have put Thwing on his guard. But. convinced that tho gods he worshiped must be the gods of all men, whatever they might profess, he held to his purpose.

 , Believe me. Hampden," continued Thwing, without our support Bur bank is beaten and you are triumph antly elected - not otherwise. But you know politics: I needn't tell you.
