OF HIS NOMINATION

VICE PRESIDENT OF HONOR ACCORDED HIM BY HIS PARTY.

WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W. | Sth to announce to you with that <le-
Va., Aug. 17.—Henry G. Davis today
was formally notified of and formally
accepted his nomination by the Demo
cratic party for vice-president of the
United States. The ceremonies took
place In the open air on the grounds
of Greenbrier Wh*te Sulphur Springs
hotel, and were marked by simplicity'
1 in every detail.
Mr. Davis was escorted to the flag-
draped platform at 1:30 o’clock In the
afternoon by Representative John
Sharp Williams of Mississippi, who
delivered the notification address. An
Invocation by the Right Reverend Dr.
W. L. Gravatt of the Episcopal diocese
of West Virginia, preceded Mr. Wil
liams* address.
It took Mr. Davis ten minutes to rend
, his formal acceptance, but he prefaced
this with n heart to heart talk of like
duration to the several thousand
friends and neighbors who were gath
ered under the trees as his audience.
A reception and cotillion In honor of
the nominee were held In the hotel in
the evening.. Special trains began ar
riving at White Sulphur last night.
Several came this morning. Old-fash
ioned "coaches and four" rolled In with
steaming horses and merry passengers
from nearby resorts. Farmers drove
In with their families from many miles
around, and mountaineers made pil
grimages with Raddle bags crammed
with rations. White Sulphur has a
population at this time of year of
nearly a thousand guests, ir stly the
feminine elite of Southern society.
These, in their summer finery, together
with the travel-stained visitors, made
a most cosmopolitan gathering, and it
Is estimated that four thousand wero
present in the enthusiastic demon
Stratton. "It did itself proud," as Mr.
Williams put It.
The day was a perfect one. The
eun shone throughout and the puro nir
of the mountains stirred gently Into
cooling breezes. The upward slope of
the lawn on all sides and the erection
of a sounding board back of the stand
made the speech easy and the. ac-
coustlcs good.
Mr. Davis was the center of Inter
est throughout the day. lie was early
on the hotel veranda and meeting
friends. Conferences were held later.
Then came the committee of notifica
tion at 11:30 o'clock. After on early
luncheon, "the senator" as he Is still
familnrly called, sought the privacy of
his room for a brief rest. Ills excellent
health and ©\ idon* *• .>r j In >i*\il
strength was subjects of congratula
tions on the part of his friends.
Mr. Davis makes no pretense at ora
tory. Ills delivery is of the conersa-
tlonal style, and his emphasis is ef
fected by pauses, rather than by ges
tures of voice Inflection. Ills speech is
earnest and mutter of f n t. Wli ! t
came his time to respond to the noti
fication address, he was kept standing
pome minutes while the audience ex
hibited its enthusiasm, this affected
Mr. Davis. He said "I know that you
mean all that you have said and all
that you have done. I feel confident
further that this magnlficient gather
ing of the citizens of West Virginia
hnd the adjoining states, means more
than simply the hearty clapping of
hands. It moans victory." Applause
Interrupted the speaker at this point,
and when Mr. Davis continued ho com
plimented Mr. Williams on his speech
ond on his oratory and turned the com
pliment also to Senator Daniel who oc-
tupled a seat on the platform. Before
taking up his speech proper he took
the ladles Into his confidence; and com
missioned them to be vote getters for
the success of the ticket. Mr. Davis did
not follow his manuscilpt closely,
though he hold it In hts hand.
Ho mentioned the name of Parker
nnd the response • was Instantaneous.
A moment later he ppnko of the plat
form and the contention between II111
nnd Bryan over its provisions. Imme
diately Bryan's name was taken up
and cheered. "Well." said Mr. Davis,
with a meaning smile when quiet was
Btored, "I was a member of tho plat
form committee and between those two
gentlemen, but tho platform was
formed and unanimously passed by the
convention and I here today stand
upon it nnd In November hope to go to
victory."
Mr. Williams pleased his hearers Im
mensely by laying down to Mr. Davis
in Irony rtdhM of conduct to govern
his official career, each rule based on
some characteristic of opposition. Ho
talked for one hour and was listened
to throughout with marked attention
nnd evidence of appreciation. Many
times ho was interrupted by cheers or
laughter.
When both had concluded Senator
Daniel responded to repeated demands
on him for a speech by calling atten
tion to the old saying that "speech is
silver but silence Is golden," adding.
"And as I recall that we fOTjmally
adopted at SL Louis the gold standard.
I shall show my sincerity In advising |
my countrymen to do so. after being
for twenty years a silver nnd gold
man. by practicing what I preach."
To the strains of "Dixie" and a med
ley of patriotic airs the assemblage
dispersed; not, however, until many
of Its members had mounted the plat
form and extended congratulat! * ^ to
the candidate. The Invited guests, in
cluding those In Dr. Davis’ private
party, who occupied a roped-off res
ervation to the left, were the first to
shak© the senator's hand.
Mr. Davis will remain at White Sul
phur until Friday, when he will return
to bis bone at BDdns. Hie plane fbr
the campaign have not been fully ma
tured.
A pretty incident occurred at the
conclusion of the ceremonl***. when a
delegation of sev» r.teen ladles from
Atlanta, Ga^ head* 1 by Mrs. W. L. Peel
all bearing Georgia state flips came
forward to congratulate the candid-it*.
The same ladbs tendered Judge Par

The absence of National Chairman
Tagnrt wbo was enable to attend the
notificailofi as weU as of ntgrty all

tion here of any plans touching the na-
tional campaign.
The notification committee with thir
ty-eight members present, fifteen of
whom ware proxies, met In one of the
hotel parlors at 11 o'clock today, or
ganised nnd then sent for Mr. Davis
end presented him the following letter
of formal notification:

Mr. Davis’ Speech.
In accepting the Democratic nomi
nation for vice president, Iloii. Henry
Gassaway Davis said:
"Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of the
Committee—The official notification
which you bring of my nomination for
the vice presidency of tho United
Stntes, by tho national Democracy!
gives mo a feeling of the sincere*!
gratitude to my party for the honor
conferred. At the same time, it brings
to mo a deep sense of my responsibili
ty. to my party as a candidate, and to
my country in case of my election.
"A spirit of determination to succeed
In the campaign before us appears In
pervade the rank and file of our party
In all sections of tho country. Of th?t
rank and file I have for many yents
been a member and have at all times
devoted my humble powers to party
success, believing that success to be fer
the country** good. Unexpectedly
called ns I am now to the forefront,
I am Impelled to an acceptance of tho
obligation by a sense of gratitude to
my fellow-workers, and the hope that t
may be able the better to assist in re
storing to power that party whore
principles nnd post history guarantee
a safe, wise, economical nnd constitu
tional administration of the govern
ment.
”1 find It. therefore, a great pleasure,
standing here upon the borderland of
the two Virginias, to receive nnd accept
the commission you bear, and to sciyl
greetings through you to the Democ
racy of the entire country. Is it net
VdgnlflcnrA of a closer and t?uer brother
hood among as. that for the first tlmo
since the civil wnr a nominee on the
national ticket has been taken from
that section of our common country
that lies south of the Mason and Dix-
s line—-a. happy recognition of tho
obliteration of all sectional differences
hlch led to and followed that unhappy
struggle.
"As Introductory to the few remarks
I shall make, I desire to say that I
heartily endorse the platform upon
which I have been nominated, and with
the convention and Its nominee for
president, regard the present mone
tary standard of value as Irrevocably
established.
As to Alleged Prosperity.
In the campaign preceding the last
election, much stress was laid by Re
publican speakers upon the prosper
ous condition of the country, and fore
bodings were heard of tho ill results,
especially to the laboring man. which
would follow any change In the poli
tical complexion of tho government.
It is true that tho times then wore
good, but it Is no less a fact thut,
while there has been no change In the
party In power, many of the evils
prophesied have come under Repub
lican rule. Four years ago. factories,
mill-’, mines and furnaces were In ac
tive operation, unable to aupply the
demand, but now many are closed, and
those that are open nr© being operated
with reduced force on short hours.
Then wages were high, labor was
scarce and there was work for all.
Now work Is scarce, many wage earn
ers unemployed and wages reduced.
The apprehension which now prevails
In business circles and the present un
satisfactory Industrial conditions of
the country seem to demand a politi
cal change.
In the language of our platform,
"the rights of labor are certainly no
less vested no less sacred nnd no less
inalienable than the rights of capital.
Th*- time Is opportune to emphasis©
tho truth of this utterance. The most
sacred right of property Is the right
to possess and own oneself and the
labor of one’s own hands—capital It
self being but stored up labor. For
years I worked In the ranks as a
wage earner nnd I know what it Is
to earn my living in the sweat of my
brow. I have always believed, nnd
my convictions came from the hard
school of experience, that, measured
by th.s character of work he does ai
the cost of living, a man Is entltl*
to full compensation for his senrfo
My experience as a wage earn
and my association with Labor ha

STATESBORO. Go.. Aug. 17.—'"We
shall have trouble with the negroes
here Just as long as they can’t behave,"
was the remark of a leading citizen of
Statesboro today as he commented on
the terrible situation of yesterday.
That he was not mistaken was shown
by the developments of today. One
negro tumid dead by the roadside five
miles cast of the town, hla body pel reed
by two Winchester bullets; two ne
groes, one of them an "old time darky,”
nnd his son, 17 years old. shot In their
cabin during the late hours of last
night by unknown marauders; half a
dozen cases of flogging, which nre of
nightly occurrence, too frequent to ex
cite more than passing notice—such
was the history of today.
The scene of excitement has shifted
from this town to tho rich agricultural
regions surrounding it. At Rigg’s mill,
half a dozen miles from here, several
well to do white planters met today
und deliberately planned how to rid
their neighborhood of obnoxious ne
groes. Individual negroes were marked
for lashings, and that part of the pro
gramme Is being carled out. Two vic
tims, u black man and a black woman,

AnFooiatod Press correspondent today.
This is the condition In thin section.
A race wnr of violence seems to be on.
It Is a determined effort on the part
of a large class of citizens hero to rid
the community of a class of bind:
that la sold to have made llfo unsnf*

make no secret of their Intentions o
of their approval of such plans. I

popuintlor. or cause them to leave, ment on the minds of those who purtl-
sterner measures will follow, so say dpated In the burning of Reed nnd
the leaders.
This will continue until the section
is purged. These facts were made
Associated Press corres
pondent today during i drive of more
than twenty milts through the country,
and they were ns plainly stated to him
In this town.
A calmer review of yesterday's hap
penings than was printable last night
anurng the * Utzons of Shit. d»orn, today
brings sonic expression of regret .'t
yesterday’s violence, while many say
it was "allright." The general opinion
is that a determined stand by the offi
cers in command of the lmndful of
troops would have prevented the burn
ing of the two negroes.
Judge Daly, the presiding officer of
tlie court r'.'i.l positi v©l\ tr.,l *\-: “While
I had been given authority by the
governor to call for what troops I
deemed necessary. I had put th? actual
handling of these soldiers in the hands
of the captain commanding until the
assault in the court house, when the
negroes were taken. I supposed tho

were about in the court house instead
of twenty-five men. It transpired that
from some sources CapL Hitch's com
pany had received orders not to load
their puns, but to use bayonets alone
In repelling the mob. Consequently
those on duty were disarmed by tho
crowd and their guns were not re
turned to them until after the negroes
were at the stake."
It is stated tonight that the States
boro militia have prepared their
resignations for tho governor.
Judge Dal:

The cost of government has largely
