He was the best man that ever--pard, you would have doted on that man.

He could lam any galoot of his inches in America.

It was him that put down the riot last election before it got a start; and everybody said he was the only man that could have done it.

He waltzed in with a spanner in one hand and a trumpet in the other, and sent fourteen men home on a shutter in less than three minutes.

He had that riot all broke up and prevented nice before anybody ever got a chance to strike a blow.
