the honor which not only the members
Of his party, but a large proportion Of
what may be termed his political OPP
pOnents, were and are so apxious OF con-

deal OF persuasion and most earnest ap.

owed to the people Of the state before
he would consent to occupy ii seat III the

nouncement Of his Willingness to nccep:

Without question, Governor Sparks is
the most popular man, personally and

acquired by the up1ghtness OF his life
