Show Mr. John Sparks, who has been nominated for Governor by the Democratic and old-time silver party of Nevada, will be a very hard man to throw down. He is one of Nevada's most sterling citizens, citi-zens, and has the love of everybody. He is rich in this world's goods, but wealth never made any difference with him except to better enable him to follow the promptings of a generous nature. He has never, that we know of, held any political office, and hence starts in with no enemies to oppose him. He Is well-educated, clear-cut as a blood-horse, honest, high-minded, hospitable, whole-souled and has about him that magnetism which draws friends to him from every walk of life. He was born, we think, in Texas, but has been a resident of Nevada for a quarter of a century. The Republicans will have some very lively work to perform to keep him from being the next Governor of Nevada. |
