Below We append an official letter from
the Central Executive Committee, of the
Conservative party, to which is added a
plan OF organization for the approaching
campaign. They arg both of importance.
We are on the eve OF the lGost important
political contest ever waGed ia North Caro-
lima. Success win depend very greatly
upon the proper organization and the put
ting forward OF proper candidates. The
Convention which is to assemble in Greens
boro on the first day of May will be preg-
nailt with much good or evil to the party.
1t is important, therefore, that counties
should send their very best men to that
Convention, and where it viii be impossible
to send delegates, carefully selected proxies
should be appointed who will attend.
TO THIS end The several counties should
not delay in holding primary meetings,
The first favorable opportunity should be
taken advantage of to hold county con-
ventions, for besides the delegates to be ap-
pointed, candidates for the Legislature are
to be nominated. And we trust that local
and personal preiudices will be ignored in
these selections Victory will be more im-
portant TO our people than indulgence
in any personal chickering's. In fight for
the welfare of North Carolina let US forget
personal preferences ana personal dislikes.
Let US bury, for the sake of our State, all
feelings of individual jealousies. The
ballot-box is rot the proper arbiter of such
disputes.
We have too much at stake to be caIlOus
