This
is
no
meeting
of
Pinski
followers
,
but
a
conglomerate
outpouring
of
all
those
elements
of
a
distrait
populace
bent
on
enforcing
for
once
the
principles
of
aldermanic
decency
.
There
are
even
women
here
--
local
church-members
,
and
one
or
two
advanced
civic
reformers
and
W.
C.
T.
U.
bar-room
smashers
.
Mr.
Pinski
has
been
summoned
to
their
presence
by
the
threat
that
if
he
did
n't
come
the
noble
company
would
seek
him
out
later
at
his
own
house
.
)
"
Hey
,
Pinski
!
You
old
boodler
!
How
much
do
you
expect
to
get
out
of
this
traction
business
?
"
(
This
from
a
voice
somewhere
in
the
rear
.
)
Mr.
Pinski
(
turning
to
one
side
as
if
pinched
in
the
neck
)
.
"
The
man
that
says
I
am
a
boodler
is
a
liar
!
I
never
took
a
dishonest
dollar
in
my
life
,
and
everybody
in
the
Fourteenth
Ward
knows
it
.
"
The
Five
Hundred
People
Assembled
.
"
Ha
!
ha
!
ha
!
Pinski
never
took
a
dollar
!
Ho
!
ho
!
ho
!
Whoop-ee
!
"
Mr.
Pinski
(
very
red-faced
,
rising
)
.
"
It
is
so
.
Why
should
I
talk
to
a
lot
of
loafers
that
come
here
because
the
papers
tell
them
to
call
me
names
?
I
have
been
an
alderman
for
six
years
now
.
Everybody
knows
me
.
A
Voice
.
"
You
call
us
loafers
.
You
crook
!
"
Another
Voice
(
referring
to
his
statement
of
being
known
)
.
"
You
bet
they
do
!
"
Another
Voice
(
this
from
a
small
,
bony
plumber
in
workclothes
)
.
"
Hey
,
you
old
grafter
!
Which
way
do
you
expect
to
vote
?
For
or
against
this
franchise
?
Which
way
?
"
Still
Another
Voice
(
an
insurance
clerk
)
.
"
Yes
,
which
way
?
"
