Champions of the Fulkerson bolt seem

The delegates from Sni-a-bar town.
ship were not instructed, as has been
fully shown; but, if they had been, it
would have been their duty to disregard
instructions if no nomination could have
been made. Delegates are
supposed to be selected because the peo-
pie have faith in them. If delegates do
carry out the wishes of those who
send them, the people have no more
right to. repudiate their acts than they
have to disregard the laws passed by
their legislators, when such laws do not
