Address of the City Central Committee to the
Conservative Voters OF the Clty OF hIch-
mopd.
The issue is now Joined 1t is our duty
to urge YOU to vote the ticket nominated oy
the regular organization of the CONSERVATIVE
rar,y. This Commonwealth and city have
for five years past experienced the dement's
of the control Of that party. Property has
been respected, the wages Of honest labor
have been protected. and the rights OF every
man have been fairly and honestly taken care
Of All these vital interests ase haZarded by
any and all attempts upon the Integrity OF
this organization.
The common law Of party organization,
as universal and all-pervadug as the right
Of voting. binds all men to abide by and
suppoIt the nominees Of their party; and
we 90 not hesitate to say that it is tie duty
of every good citizen to support the choice
of their associates. No one has right to
put up his individual preference against the
aggregate opinions Of his fcllow-citizens.
If such course is pursued all party or
ganization is at end, and Independent can
didates surely lead in the next election
to the success Of radicalism. At this time
it is all important that we stand together
with unanimity. We therefore invoke Sou
to discard all personal preferences and dis
satisfaction and vote for the regular noml
neeS.
Several tickets have appeared in the pa
pers, protesting to be of Conservative candi'
dates. but they are put forth anonymously
and by parties who are unwilling to take
the responsibility of announcing them over
their own names.
All such tickets are unauthorized, and WE
call upon all Conservatives to disregard them

Chairman.
