Conventions
The Executive Board cannot toe earnestly
impress upon every voter who is willing to CO.
ope ate with the party the necessity 'or vigil
ance, harmony an 1 concert of action.
The public offices are open alike to all, and
every citizen has the right to resort TO all hon
Orabe means to secure his advancement to any
position, civil, Judicial or political. to which
he may aspire; but, at the same time, il be-
hooves party that aims thu public conf.
aence. and that expects to maintain its as
cendaneyi TO put forward as its representa-
tiyes only its best men.
Never before was there stronger necessity
imposed upon the Democratic and COnserya-
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 all good citizens and the substantial busi.
ness men Of the city and county will consent
10 attend these primary elections, and exer-
else their influence in the selections Of dele
gates. we may confidently hope for conYen-
ton whose memeers shall be the unbiased
representatives OF the public interests, whose
appearaI GO sill 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.
