Public ledger. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1865-1893, 1878-06-03
SATURDAY, JUNE s, 1878,

for the purpoie Of electing, Delegates to said
Convention.
The Executive Board cannot toe earnestly
impress upon every voter who is willing to CO.
operate with the party the necessity 'or vigil
anse, harmony an | concert Of action.
The public Offices ara open alike to all. and
every citizen has the right 10 resort TO all hon
Orable means to secure his advancementt0a to any
position, civil. judicial or political, 10 which
he may aspire; but. at the same time, il be-
heoves party that c aims ths public conf
ecnce. and that expects to maintain its as
cendanry, TO put forward as its representa-
tives only its best men. .Hrlfff.
Never before was there stronger necessity
imposed upon the Democratic and Conserve
tive party of Shelby TO exhibit the utmost
lar will in the selection Of its nominees I;
whether this will be done or not, depends
mainly upon the manner IN which the Pri-
mary Elections are conducted.
If all good citizens and the substantial bust
ness men Of the city and county will consent
10 attend these primary elections, and eIer-
else their influence in the selections of dele
gates. we may confidently hope for a oonven-
tion whose members shall be the unbiased
representatives OF the public interests, whose
appearaAc CO Sill satisfy the people that they
are not gathered together as the champions Of
particular individuals, and whose action will
secure harmony, give satisfaction and insure
success. a-.tL -..
