lof the purpOie Oh elecLlng. delegates to said
Convention.
The Executive Board cannot too earnestly
impress upon every voter who is willing to CO.
Ope ate with the party the necessity or vigil
ance. harmony an concert of action.
The public Offices ars open alike to all, and
every citizen has the right n resort to all hon
Orabie means 10 secure his advancement TO any
position, civil, judicial or political, TO which
be may aspire; but, at the same time, it be-
hooves party that aims the public conf.
dence, and that expects to maintain its as
cendancy, to put forward as its representa-
tiyes only its best men.
Never before was there a str0n ger necessity
imposed upon the Democratic and Conserva-
tive party Of Shelby to exhibit the utmost
fairness in its action and to defer to tho popu-
lar viii In the selection of its nominees;
whether this will be done or not, depends
mainly upon the manner IN which the Pri-
mary Il ections are conducted

ness men Of the city and county will consent
TO attend these primary elections, and exer.
else their influence In the selections of dele
gates. we may confidently hope for conyen-
tion whose mem ers shall be the unbiased
representatives OF the public interests, whose
appearas ce will satisfy the people that they
are not gathered together as the champions Of
particular individuals, and whose action will
secure harmony, give salts action and insure
success.
