SATURDAY, JUNE s, 1878,

for the purpose Of electing Delegates to said
Convention.
The Executive Board cannot too earnestly
impress upon every voter who is willing to CO.
ope ate with the party the necessity or vigil
anae, harmony and concert of action.
The public othces are open alike to all, and
every citizen has the right n 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 he
hooves a party that aims the public conf.
aence. and that expects to maintain its as
cendancy, to put forward as its reEresenta-
tiyes only its best men.
Never before was thsre a stronger necessity
imposed upon the Democratic and Conserve
tive party of Shelby to exhibit the utmost
fairness IN its action and to defer to the popu-
lar will in the selection of its nominees; /;
whether this will be done or not, depends
mainly upon the manner IN which the Pri-
mary Elections are conducted.

ness men Of the city and county will conshnt
TO attend these primary elections, ana exer.
