A Vote Against Bribe Power in the Capital
The narrator recalls a corrupt bid by railroads to dodge taxes, how Dominick’s machine coerced votes, and his dramatic defiance. He recounts the fallout, his fear of losing self respect, and the moral cost of opposing corrupt power. He resigns to personal sacrifice, postpones marriage, and ends with a vow to persevere.
