for the purpose of eleeting. Delegates to said

The Executive Board cannot toe earnestly
impress upon every voter who is willing to CO.
operate 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 t. resort TO all hon
Orable means to secure his Advancement to any
position, civil, judicial or political, to which
be may aspire; but, at the same time, il be-
hooves party that aims the public conf.
aence, and that expects to maintain its as
cendaney, TO put forward as its representa-
| tiyes only its best men.
Never before was there a stronger necessity
| imposed upon the Democratic and COnserva-
tive party Of Shelby 10 exhibit the utmost
fairness in its action and to defer to tho 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 ali good citizens and the substantial busi
mess men Of the city and county will consent
70 attend these prlmsry, elections, and exer.
else their influence in the selections of dele
gates. we may confidently hope for a conven-
tiOn whose memeers shall be the unbiase
representatives Of the public interests, whose
appearaEce 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.
