SATURDAY, JUNE 8. 1878.

| for the purpose of eleeting 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
anoe, harmony an concert of action.
The public Offices are open alike to all, and
every citizen has the right t. resort to all hon
| Orabie means to secure his advancement to any
position, civil, judicial or political, to which
be may aspire; but, at the same time, it be-
hooves party that aims the public conf
dence. and that expects to maintain its as
| cendanty, to put forward as its representa-
tives only its best men.
Never before was there a stronger necessity
imposed upon the Democratic and COnserya-
tive party Of Shelby to exhibit the utmost
fairness IN It's actor, and to defer to tho popu-
lar viii 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.
Jf al good citizens and the substantial bust
ness men of the city and county will consent
10 attend these primary elections, and exer.
else their influence in the selections Of delo-
gates. we may confidently hope for a eonven-
tion whose mem ers shall be the unbiased
representatives OF the public interests, whose
appearasce i'll satisfy the people that they
are not gathered together as the champions of
particular individuals, and whose action will
secure harmony. give salts action and insure
