"
Yes
,
"
returned
Mr.
Fogg
;
"
and
blows
,
even
if
they
are
political
are
still
blows
.
"
Fix
smiled
at
this
remark
;
and
,
in
order
to
be
able
to
see
without
being
jostled
about
,
the
party
took
up
a
position
on
the
top
of
a
flight
of
steps
situated
at
the
upper
end
of
Montgomery
Street
.
Opposite
them
,
on
the
other
side
of
the
street
,
between
a
coal
wharf
and
a
petroleum
warehouse
,
a
large
platform
had
been
erected
in
the
open
air
,
towards
which
the
current
of
the
crowd
seemed
to
be
directed
.
For
what
purpose
was
this
meeting
?
What
was
the
occasion
of
this
excited
assemblage
?
Phileas
Fogg
could
not
imagine
.
Was
it
to
nominate
some
high
official
--
a
governor
or
member
of
Congress
?
It
was
not
improbable
,
so
agitated
was
the
multitude
before
them
.
Just
at
this
moment
there
was
an
unusual
stir
in
the
human
mass
.
All
the
hands
were
raised
in
the
air
.
Some
,
tightly
closed
,
seemed
to
disappear
suddenly
in
the
midst
of
the
cries
--
an
energetic
way
,
no
doubt
,
of
casting
a
vote
.
The
crowd
swayed
back
,
the
banners
and
flags
wavered
,
disappeared
an
instant
,
then
reappeared
in
tatters
.
The
undulations
of
the
human
surge
reached
the
steps
,
while
all
the
heads
floundered
on
the
surface
like
a
sea
agitated
by
a
squall
.
Many
of
the
black
hats
disappeared
,
and
the
greater
part
of
the
crowd
seemed
to
have
diminished
in
height
.
"
It
is
evidently
a
meeting
,
"
said
Fix
,
"
and
its
object
must
be
an
exciting
one
.
I
should
not
wonder
if
it
were
about
the
Alabama
,
despite
the
fact
that
that
question
is
settled
.
"
"
Perhaps
,
"
replied
Mr.
Fogg
,
simply
.
"
At
least
,
there
are
two
champions
in
presence
of
each
other
,
the
Honourable
Mr.
Camerfield
and
the
Honourable
Mr.
Mandiboy
.
"
Aouda
,
leaning
upon
Mr.
Fogg
's
arm
,
observed
the
tumultuous
scene
with
surprise
,
while
Fix
asked
a
man
near
him
what
the
cause
of
it
all
was
.
Before
the
man
could
reply
,
a
fresh
agitation
arose
;
hurrahs
and
excited
shouts
were
heard
;
the
staffs
of
the
banners
began
to
be
used
as
offensive
weapons
;
and
fists
flew
about
in
every
direction
.
Thumps
were
exchanged
from
the
tops
of
the
carriages
and
omnibuses
which
had
been
blocked
up
in
the
crowd
.
Boots
and
shoes
went
whirling
through
the
air
,
and
Mr.
Fogg
thought
he
even
heard
the
crack
of
revolvers
mingling
in
the
din
,
the
rout
approached
the
stairway
,
and
flowed
over
the
lower
step
.
One
of
the
parties
had
evidently
been
repulsed
;
but
the
mere
lookers-on
could
not
tell
whether
Mandiboy
or
Camerfield
had
gained
the
upper
hand
.
"
It
would
be
prudent
for
us
to
retire
,
"
said
Fix
,
who
was
anxious
that
Mr.
Fogg
should
not
receive
any
injury
,
at
least
until
they
got
back
to
London
.
"
If
there
is
any
question
about
England
in
all
this
,
and
we
were
recognised
,
I
fear
it
would
go
hard
with
us
.
"
"
An
English
subject
--
"
began
Mr.
Fogg
.
