TELL Us WHEN?

at Minden, Blanchard told his admir-
.ers that the motive, which prompted
him to resign from tile Supreme bench
and seek the GoYernorship was desire
to shower the blessing Of bis best SER
vices upon d people who had honored
him SO often
Come to think Of it; when have the
people Of this State ever shown any
Partially for Newton @. Blanchard?
just tell us when?
He made no effort to figure in State
politics before 1892, when the legislature
turned him down, Any honor in chat +?
Defeated before the Representatives OF
the people, Foster gave him a compli-
mentary ticket to the Senate show, and
then backed him for a renewal permit in
1896.
With all the influence Of his powerful
patron, after having stumped the State
from end to end, and with the ever help
ful prestige Of occupancy; the legislature
Of 1896 deliberately decided that three
years were quite enough OF Newton @.
Blanchard and religated him to private
lie and the society Of his Caddo consti-
tuency, who pointedly refused TO COM
mend his course in Washington. Was
there any honor in this !? Please point
it out
Defeated at Baton Rouge and discre-
dited al home, Foster once again stretched
forth a succoring hand Iand rescued him
from political oblivion by elevating him
to the Supreme bench. Did the people
Of the State confer that honor /? Not
much. Indeed. we would like to know
how orswhen he has ever been honored
by Louisiana The record seems to In
dictate that he has been a pretty persis-
tent chaser OF honors. But it equally
shows that all the laurels he ever wore
came either from Murphy j. Foster OF
the 4th, District,
