In reply to the assertion of the Boston
Journal that the delegates at large from
Maine to the Philadelphia convention were
not instructed to vote for Grant and Colfax,
the Kennebec Journal says: The resolu-
ton adopted declared unequiVocally for the
nomination of Grant and Colfax, and was in
tended to and does instruct the delegates to
support them. We understand, and so do the
Republican members of the legislature, all of
whom voted for the resolve, that it instructs,
and that the delegates elected are pledged to
Grant and Colfax." The Journal is right.
The delegates can't ignore the resolutions
adopted by the caucus.
