for the purpose of eleeting. 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
anne, 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 10 any
position, civil, judicial or POLITICAL to which
be may aspire; but, at the same time. it be-
hooves party that ciaims the public conf
dence. and that expects to maintain its as
cendaney, to put forward as its representa-
tiyes only its best men.
Never before was there stronger necessity
imposed upon the Democratic and Conserve
tive party Of Shelby to exhibit the utmost
fairness in its action and 10 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.
III all good citizens and the substantial bust
ness men Of the city and county will consent
else their influence in the selections of dele
gates. we may confidently hope for a conven-
tion whose members shall be the unbiaaed
representatives Of the public interests, whose
appearaE ce will satisfy the people that they
are not gathered together as the champions Of
particular individuals, and whose actio1 will
secure harmony, give satisfaction and insure
success.
The primary election will be held by a com
mittee of five in each district and ward, to be
appointed by the Executive Board. The el,e-
ton WI! be by ballot, and the polls will be
opened in the city at three o'clock pm. and

?. IN. and close at six o'clock pm.
