Public ledger. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1865-1893, 1878-05-22

for the purpose of electing Delegates to said
| Convention.
The Executive Board cannot toe earnestly
impress upon every voter who is willing to CO.
Ope ate with the party the necessity or vigil
anee, 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 hut, at the same time. IL he
hooves psrty that aims the public conf.
aence. and that expects to maintain its as
cendancy, to put forward as its representa-
tives only its best men.
| Never before was there stronger necessity
imposed upon the Democratic and COnserva-
| 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.
| If all good citizens and the substantial bust
ness men OF the city and county will consent
TO attend these primary elections, and exer-
else their influence in the selections of dele
gates. We may confidently hope for a oonTen-
/ tion whose Nom 5ers shall be the unbiased
representatives of the public interests, whose
appearance will 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.
The primary election will be held by com
mittee Of hve in each district and ward, to be
appointed by the Executive Board. The Ell O.
tion will be by ballot. and the polls will be
opened in the city at three o'clock pm. and
close at seven p.m.; in the districts at one
