SATURDAY, JUNE 8, 1878,

for the purpose of electing.. Delegates to sale
| Convention.
The Executive Board cannot too earnestl,
! impress upon every voter who is willing TO 90.
ope;ate with the party the necessity or vigil
anse, harmony AMI concert of action.
The public offices are opea alike TO all. and
every citizen has the right In 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, ii be-
hooves party that aims the public conf
senee. and that expects to maintain its as
cendancy' 70 put forward as its representa-
| uyes only its best men.
Never before was there stronger necessity
| imposed upon the Democratic and Conserya-
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.
II all good citizens and the substantial bust
ness men Of the city and county will consent
10 attend these primary elections, and exer-
else their inhuencs in tho selections of dele
gates. we may confidently hope for a conven

representatives Of the public interests, whose
appearah ce 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.
