SENATOR COMSTOCK.
Representing in part a portion of the State Largely opposed to the late Governor Williams politically. it gives me espcial pleasure to pay tribute to his fidelity in the discharge of great public trusts. The esteem in which he was held by those who knew him best is amply attested by the long period they called upon him to serve them in the Legislature.
He was perhaps more familiar with the Benevolent and Reformatory Institutions of the State, and his direct and honest methods commanded the respect of even his political enemies.
