mere boy at the close of the war,

Blanchard because he believed him
the better qualified to occupy the posi-
tion of Governor.

ducing as the orator of the occasion
and explained the course of Judge
Blanchard upon the sugar question
showing that Judge Blanchard had
done all that he could in the interest
of the sugar planter and had done ex-
