I have had all I want of him.

There's nothing mysterious about my breaking with him; he got it into his head that he's a bigger man in this state than I am.

I have known for several years that he intended to get rid of me as soon as he felt he could do it safely, and be ready to capture the senatorship when he saw that our party was in shape to win again.

I've always distrusted him, and I've always kept an eye on him.

When he came into Fraser County and stooped low enough to buy old Ike Pettit, I thought it time to strike.
