midnight
Above all things be pure-minded as the snow . Let us join in prayer . '' When Senator Dilworthy departed from Cattleville , he left three dozen boys behind him arranging a campaign of life whose objective point was the United States Senate . When he arrived at the State capital at midnight Mr. Noble came and held a three-hours ' conference with him , and then as he was about leaving said : `` I 've worked hard , and I 've got them at last . Six of them have n't got quite back-bone enough to slew around and come right out for you on the first ballot to-morrow ; but they 're going to vote against you on the first for the sake of appearances , and then come out for you all in a body on the second -- I 've fixed all that ! By supper time to-morrow you 'll be re-elected . You can go to bed and sleep easy on that . ''
