Public ledger. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1865-1893, 1878-05-14
SATURDAY, JUNE 8, 1878,

ior the purpose OF electing delegates ito said
Convention.
The Executive Board cannot toe earnestly
impress upon every voter who is willing to CO.
operate with the party the necessity Tor vigil
anoe, harmony and concert of action.
The public offices are open alike to all, and
every citizen has the right to resort to all hon
orable means to secure his advancement TO any
position, civil, judicial or political, to which
he may aspire; but, at the same time. II be-
hooves party that aims the public conf
denee, and that expects to maintain its as
cendancy, to put forward as its representa-
tives only its best men.
Never before was thsre stronger necessity
imposed upon the Democratic and Conserve
tive party Of Shelby to exhibit the almost
fairness IN its action and to defer to tho popu-
lar will in the selection Of its nominees;
whether this will be done or not, depends
mainly upon the manner IN which the Prl-
mary Elections are conducted.
If ali good citizens and the substantial busi-
ness men Of the city and county will consent
10 attend these primary elections, and exer-
else their influence in the selections Of dele
gates. we may confidently hope for a eonVen-
tion whose mem ers shall be the unbiased
representatives Of the public interests. whose
appearance will satisfy the people that thew
are not gathered together as the champions Of
particular individuals, aud whose action will
secure harmony. give satisfaction and insure
success.
