What undoubtedly did him more good than the best tonic, though, were the hearty handclasps of friend and foe alike after each meeting. The expressions of sympathy he received from Reform supporters concerning his disabled leg furnished ample proof of the popularity of this unassuming and kindly politician. Incidentally, it also proves that the average elector is a good sportsman.
