“
The
campaign
was
not
without
its
interest
,
”
admitted
Magnus
.
“
Yes
,
”
said
Genslinger
,
still
more
deliberately
,
“
and
some
phases
of
it
were
—
more
interesting
than
others
,
as
,
for
instance
,
let
us
say
the
way
in
which
you
—
personally
—
secured
the
votes
of
certain
chairmen
of
delegations
—
NEED
I
particularise
further
?
Yes
,
those
men
—
the
way
you
got
their
votes
.
Now
,
THAT
I
should
say
,
Mr
.
Derrick
,
was
the
most
interesting
move
in
the
whole
game
—
to
you
.
Hm
,
curious
,
”
he
murmured
,
musingly
.
“
Let
’
s
see
.
You
deposited
two
one
-
thousand
dollar
bills
and
four
five
-
hundred
dollar
bills
in
a
box
—
three
hundred
and
eight
was
the
number
—
in
a
box
in
the
Safety
Deposit
Vaults
in
San
Francisco
,
and
then
—
let
’
s
see
,
you
gave
a
key
to
this
box
to
each
of
the
gentlemen
in
question
,
and
after
the
election
the
box
was
empty
.
Now
,
I
call
that
interesting
—
curious
,
because
it
’
s
a
new
,
safe
,
and
highly
ingenious
method
of
bribery
.
How
did
you
happen
to
think
of
it
,
Governor
?
”
“
Do
you
know
what
you
are
doing
,
sir
?
”
Magnus
burst
forth
.
“
Do
you
know
what
you
are
insinuating
,
here
,
in
my
own
house
?
”
“
Why
,
Governor
,
”
returned
the
editor
,
blandly
,
“
I
’
m
not
INSINUATING
anything
.
I
’
m
talking
about
what
I
KNOW
.
”
“
It
’
s
a
lie
.
”
Genslinger
rubbed
his
chin
reflectively
.
“
Well
,
”
he
answered
,
“
you
can
have
a
chance
to
prove
it
before
the
Grand
Jury
,
if
you
want
to
.
”
“
My
character
is
known
all
over
the
State
,
”
blustered
Magnus
.
“
My
politics
are
pure
politics
.
My
—
—
”
“
No
one
needs
a
better
reputation
for
pure
politics
than
the
man
who
sets
out
to
be
a
briber
,
”
interrupted
Genslinger
,
“
and
I
might
as
well
tell
you
,
Governor
,
that
you
can
’
t
shout
me
down
.
I
can
put
my
hand
on
the
two
chairmen
you
bought
before
it
’
s
dark
to
-
day
.
I
’
ve
had
their
depositions
in
my
safe
for
the
last
six
weeks
.
We
could
make
the
arrests
to
-
morrow
,
if
we
wanted
.
Governor
,
you
sure
did
a
risky
thing
when
you
went
into
that
Sacramento
fight
,
an
awful
risky
thing
.
