Hon. N. G. Blanchard.

To the Hons. G. L. P. Wren and
". A. Stroud, Senators, and to the
Hon. w. B. Boggs, Representative
in the State Legislature of Louis
lana: We, the undersigned citi-
zens of Bossier parish, respectfully
announce our fealty to the candi-
dacy of our time-honored friend
aud fellow-citizen, Hon. Newton
G. Blanchard, to fill the unex-
pired term of Hon. E. d. White in
the United States Senate. Having
critically reviewed his long course
in Congress, as the representative
of the Fourth Congressional District,
we are prepared to say that we find
nothing to condemn, but on the con-
trary much to approve and applaud.
We believe that it would be high
ly detrimental to the interest of
North Louisiana, and to the State
at large, to retire at this critical
juncture, such a profound patriot
and statesman as Mr.. Blanchard.
We point with pride TO his bril-
liant course in Congsess, and boldly
| proclaim it second to none ever made
in that body by a Louisiana states.
man, and especially do we point to
the fact that he has always acted
! directly in line with the wishes OF
his people. We believe that it is
exceedingly gratifying to every
Louisiana farmer to note his strong
I advocacy of the Anti-Option Bill,
the Free Coinage of Silver, the Re,
peal of the Ten Per Cent Tax Oh
! States Banks, the Income Tax, and
especially the Wilson tariff bill and
the Seignorage bill. Moreover, We
believe that his action in regard tc
the sugar interest of the State has
| done much to bring about recon
ciliation between the people of NortE
| and South Louisiana.
Now, we therefore respectfully
| petition our Senators and Represen
tatiye in General Assembly, soon tt
