"Conventional electrical currents" are thought of as moving from the Positive pole of a supply to the Negative. Physically this is not what happens, but by the time they figured it out, there was so much literature that they decided to keep it as a convention--since for most purposes it simply does not matter. The electrons actually sneak around the other way--from negative to positive.
