Instructed Against Gordon.
We understand that at the meeting
of the county nllinncc yesterday at
Boston, a resolution was adopted in
structing the representatives from this
coilnty to vote against Gordon for
Senator. A member of the alliance
rcmnrked that the instructions were
not applied to Senator Mitchell. The
question naturally comcB up:
Did the eontparlively few gentle
men participating in the meeting,
have a right to speak for the sixteen
hundred democratic voters of Thomas
county ?
The democratic party is a party of
majorities, and no minority has a right
to speak fur iho majority. We re as
sert what bus been said before in these
columns, that a majority of the dem
ocratic voters in Thomas county tavor
Gordon. The representatives from
this county are not going to the leg
islature to rcpresc-nt one portion of
the party or county ; but they go to
represent the ontire county aud party.
Hundreds of men voted the ticket,
with the understanding that Gordon
would be supported. If a majority
of the party so wishes, no minority
has a right to iustruct otherwise.
.Such minority has a perfect right to
express its views, and so hns the ma
jority.
Hay.
A number of wagon loads of hay
was sold on the streets yesterday at
good prices. A few years ago farmers
bought western hay, now they save all
their grass as carefully as they do their
corn, or other crops. What they do
not need far their own stock, finds a
ready market here.
