The Executive Board cannot too earnestly
impress upon every voter who is willing to CO.
Ope'at with the party the necessity 'or viRiI-
anes. harmony and concert Of action.
Inc puohc oihces are open alike TO all, and
every citizen has the right to resort to all hon
oraDle 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 c aims tho public conf.
aence, and that expects 10 maintain its as
cendancy, TO put forward as its representa-
uyes only its best men.

imposed upon the Democratic and ConServa.
tive party Of Shelby to exhibit the utmost
fairness IN its action and to defer 10 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.

ness men Ct the city and county will consent
70 attend these primary elections, and exer-
cise their influence in the selections of dele

secure harmony, give satisfaction and insure |
success.
