DOES HE SPEAK FOR SANDERS?

=
Colfax Chronicle: Editor Joe Le-
vogue of Harlequin blames Governor
Blanchard because, in answer to the re-
quest of the officials of St. Charles par
ish, te Governor sent the State Guard to
protect the Italians convicted of the
murder of the little Lamana boy from
being lynched before being taken to the
penitentiary. Leveque is great friend
and supporter of Sanders, and he says
Jared wouldn't have been found-or,
if found for such purpose, the Lieuten-
ant Governor, I'll bet, would never have
seen the necessity for troops until it
would have been too late to save these
monsters from an extenporaneous gal
lows.
Does Mr.. Leeque mean to say that he
really and truly believes that Mr.. San
ders, after taking his oath of Office,
would deliberately have allowed those
prisoners to have been lynched when he
could and should have prevented such
a thing? 1t matters not that they are
monsters, if Jared would connive at
any such high-handed breach of the law
he is not the man for Governor.
