Speech of the Sarcastic Democratic Candidate Arraignment Makes Of Acceptance By THOMAS White Sulphur Springs, W. Va. Aug. 7 Special. Henry Gassaway Davis officially today fchat is the .Democratic nom- tor the vice presidency-. -1 - xw- every scate m th umon. l:,,.,n laigeiy from the two Virginias.- Ule occasion memorable, 'mt and was perxect ana the picw- ue !?urrounaings oi ne former sum- i nome or presiaents laeai. Personality of tne candidate was the .t utral teacure o interest to vis- ! i i . They soon learned that the P- i i! ince or tne man nullltled JUlihu L.ois words of -warning as to his age. Mr. Davis is as young in activity as tne i. ii.cr secretary of war, who is now some of the historical blunders of our f. . It I had not known Mr. Davis I ancestors as view from the standpoint oald have said he is a man of 60. of the wisdom of Republican states lie c aries his 81 years lightly. He is men who have embraced the strenuous i.ukk of step. His eye is bright and life. ' . nv possesses an tne vigor oi a man .1 middle life. When the band struck ... t : , . i t in. a. 1 t, i V yi T tvf i,mMu f1 tne platform before the ex- tr.ises began he was the busiest of all me notables, .moving- around with ;r:ty and &lvinS attention to all de- supposed incapabilities, of which his port; thus in a fashion royally excom-"ils- 1 color was but the outward sign. Be municating fW little town, oommer- as a speaker Mr. Davis is not a that ciaim pretense or sincerity, we cially and industrially. Then came that v. under by any means. As he jokingly - w-- rretaced his remarks, he is not an ora- tor. He is simply a plain business man -.trained for public speaking. - There uas one commendable characteristic in : speaking, and that is he was not edged around by formality. He prac- -k-ally. discarded his manuscript and .-hnkp fistpmnnrp Tn fart tV loft- mit r . -- v tuuniry, wuica uau ueeii cuiuuutieu iu a good part of his speech as it w as their charge, nor did our ancestors written, and other portioas he abbre- promise to assimilate him. The first viated and gave to his hearers in con- violation in America of the divine right densed form. His reason for doing of manhood suffrage and of the cher this was probably due co the great ished fundamental dogma that all men length of John Sharp Williams' effort, Gf an races are equally capacitated though Republican newspaper men to govern themselves, and especially claimed that he was a victim of stage to govern others, has doubtless been tnsnt. Mr. Davis was seated during the de- livery of Chairman Williams' speech, The frequent smile that spread across his striking countenance showed that he was pleased with Mr. Williams satire. The thrusts at Roosevelt pleased him immensely, for he nodded repeatedly and beamed with smiles. Mr. Davis was given a fine demon stration when he began to speak. It was several minutes before he could secure quiet. His voice trembled with emotion as he. acknowledged Mr. .Wil liams' kindly reference to him per- sonally.. The speaker did not confine himself strictly to manuscript and in . . . . troduced several new matters. For in stance he said that the nation should Jjot torget Rome's history under .Ceas- reign, illustrating the importance of maintaining and preserving local ?e!f government. He frequently pre- dined Democratic success at the polls ami called on the women to do their ?r: 're of the work. Nothing pleased the crowd more than Ws declaration that he is the first nom inee on a presidential ticket selected fi"m south of Mason and Dixon's line siin e the civil war. -Ir. Davis welcomed the audience to the inauguration at Washington next M;frch, and much hurrahing followed. Col. R. L. Holt, the North Carolina member of the notification committee, 'as not present, 'and F. L. Fuller of Dnrham represented the state at the request of the Tar Heels present. Mr. Fuller attended the informal meeting of notification early in the morning, when John Sharp Williams broke the news to the vice presidential candidate. He 3 'so appeared, in the group picture of th-- committee taken immediately af- "ards. , Trere was a good representation of M )linians at the exercises today.

Some men m the troublesome little town of Bos- ton. masquerading as Indians, seized and threw into the sea certain cases of wnni rt,H mhnnts of tea belonging to certain merchants or the East India Company. That this was a violation of law. no man now in England or America had any doubt; that the violators of the law ought to be amenable to punishment under the law. through its usual process, among which were indictment Dy a grana jury and trial by a petit jury, none doubted, With a wisdom, however, equaled only by that of the present occupant of the chief executive's chair In these United States, these usual remedies by law against law-breakers were ignored by that sapient statesman, King George, as being reeds too weak to depend upon . il.i mu - in an extreme liKe mai. xue wiiac- quence was that the entire population of Boston, men. women, and children, observers of the law as well as law- breakers, were punished, and the Bos- ton nort bill was passed, closing the strange and unaccountable outbreak of . , - - o - popular hysteria to which I have re- f erred, unaccauntable in the light of higher civilization. .

True, there is a plain stat ute of the United States, "writ large" on the pages of the Revised Statutes, providing punishment for those guilty nf that identical crime. It was. oer- haps, however, thought that the alleged crime could not be proven in a court of justice by the ordinary forms of law; that the forces of law, as in the prece- dent cited in Boston, were "too weak" or not to be altogether "relied uoon" by those in authority. The necessary and rignteous consequence was tnai, recurring to the precedent established by that miracle of wisdom, George of Hanover and his cabinet, we promptly and strenuously deprived the little town f indianola of all mail facilities, nro- anfl strenuous v oennven tne nttie town c'eeded to nunish for the law-breaking intent nf n few.
