Progress and Caddo Delegation Clash Over Blanchard Slate
A Democrat writes from October 7 1896 praising the Caddo parish delegation for resisting endorsement of Senator Blanchard. He denounces The Progress editor and a Times article, credits Capt. Soupe hag and Gov. McEnery allies, and lauds the Caddo delegation’s stance against reelecting Blanchard amid silver question conflicts and Democratic disarray. He ends with support for the Caddo delegation and the Progress editor.
