for the purpose of electing. ID elegatss to said
Convention.
The Executive Board cannot toe earnestly
impress upon every voter who is willing to CO.
operate with tho party the necessity or vigil.
anes. harmony ant concert of action.
Inc pubic ot1ces are open alike TO all, and
every citizen has the right TO resort to all hon
oraole means to secure his advancement to any
position, civil, judicial or political, to which
be may aspire; but, at the same time. il be-
nooVes 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 thsre stronger necessity
imposed upon the Democratic and Conserve
tive party Of Shelby to exhibit the utmost
fairness IN its action and to defer 10 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. 't
II all good citizens and thesubstantial busi
ness men Of the city and county will consent
70 attend these primary elections, and exer.
else their induense in the selections Of dele
gates. we may confidently hope for a conyen-
tlon whose memJers 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.
