DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE FOR YICE-PRESIDENCY SENATOR H. G. DAVIS FOR MALLY NOTIFIED. Scathing Sarcasm of John Sharp Wil liams In Notification Address, Davis' Acceptance. WNhite Sulphur Springs. V. Va., AuguSt 17.-John Sharp Williams, of .\lississippi. today used six thous and words to let Senator Henry G. Davis. of West Vrginia know that thc democrats of the United States had honored him with the nomination for the vice-presidency. Senator Da-iis needed only two thousand words to accept the nomination and to tell the convention that he en dors-:d the platform and the presi dential candidate and to present his The ceremony attending the event was extremely simple. but was full of interest. It took place shortly af ter i o'clock this afternoon within a stone's throw from the famous old Green Brier hotel, where majestic oaks shaded the speakers' stand. The stand was decorated with patriotic colors for the occasion. Thousands of men and women stood about on the green applauding the sentiments of the speakers. Those of natural mportance in the party present were Perry Bel mont. of New York: John I. Martin, of St. Louis; Senator Daniel, of Vir ginia: National Committeeman Mor rs, of the District of Columbia, the members of the notification commit tee, and a half dozen others, whc had places on the speakers' stand. The weather was ideal, with glor ious sunshine. The Notification Address. In beginning his address formally notifying ' Mr. Davis of his nomina tion for the vice-presidency by the national democracy, Mr. Williams made the formal notification and ex pressed the pleasure of the commit tec and himself at the task which had been imposed upon them. He said he would entitle his address, "A brief historical disquisition upon some of the blunders of our ancestors as view ed from the standioint of the wis dom of the republican statesmen. Al so embracing the Strenuous Life. The speech of Mr. Williams was in sarcastic strain. He said the first of these "blunders" consisted in dis criminating against the red man in the early history of the country. The next "blunder" according to these re publican statesmen, consisted in tak ing up arms against King George. He continued: I am reminded of another blunder. Our ancestors, hoth under the common law of Great V Britain and the United States seem to have entertained the notion that combinations in restraint of trade, seeking. a monopoly. throttling com petition, are in some way adverse to ghe development of the individual, somehow poison the life of trade. Referring to the president's foreign policy Mr. *Williams said: What queer, old-time chilish idea was that of out ancestors that the president of the United States was simply a chief executive and that his duty consists in executing the laws as they are written. Senator Davis' Address. In accepting the nomination Sen ator Davis spoke as follows: Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of the Committee: The official notification which you bring of my nomination for the vice presidency of the United States, by the national democracy, gives me a - eeling of the sincerest gratitude tc Smy party for the honor conferred. At the same time, it brings to me a deep sense of my responsibility, tc my- party as a candidate, and to my country in case of my election. A spirit of determination to suc ceed in the campaign before us ap pears to pervade the rank and file of oun~ party in all sections of the country. Of that rank ;md file I -have for many years been a member -and have at all times devoted my humble powers to party- success, be liev-ing that success to be for the country's good. Unexpectedly called as I am now to the forefront. I am impelled to an acceptance of the ob ligation by a sense of gratitude to my fellow-workers, and the hope that I may be able the better to as siSt in restoring to power that party whoe principl e and piast hi story arant--e a safe. wse. cconilmical ine gt.vernmemt.

T it not signiticant of a closer and truer br4therhood among us. that for the first time since the Civil War a nomi nece on the national ticket has been taken from that section of our com 1mon country that lies south of Ma son and Dixon's line-a happy recog nititn of the obliteration of all sec t6onal differences which led to and followed that unhappy struggle. AS introdiuctorv to the few re nark; T shall make. I desire to say that I heartily endorse the platform upon which I have been nominated and with the convention and its nom inee for president. regard the present monetary standard of value as ir revocably established. In the campaign preceding the last election. much stress was laid by re publican speakers upon the prosper otis condition of the country, and forebodings were heard of the ill re suits, especially to the laboring man, which would follow any change in the political complexion of the gov ernment. It is true that the times were then good. but it is no less a fact that. while there has been no change in the party in power. many of the evils prophesied have come un der republican rule. Four years ago factories, mills, mines and furnaces were in active operation. unable to supply the demand, but now many are closed. and those that are open are 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-earners unemployed, and wages reduced. The apprehension which now prevails in busines circles, and the present unsatisfactory indus trial conditions of the country seem to demand a political change. The receipts of the government for the year ending June 30, 1902, the first fiscal year of the present admin istration, showed a surplus over ex penditures of $g1.oo0,ooo, but for the fiscal year ending June 30 i904 instead of a surplus there was a deficit of $41,o0o,o00. From the 1st of July, 1904. to August 10, or for .about a month and a third of the present fis cal y-ear the expenditures of the governar ent have exceeded the re ceipts by $21.715.ooo. There~ could be no stronger evidence of the extrav agance into which the republican party has fallen, and no more potent argument in behalf of a change to the party whose tenets have alvays embraced prudence and economy in administering the people's affairs. Our republican friends are prone to refer to the great commercial growth of the country under their rule, and yet the census reports show thai from 185o to 186o, under democratic rule and the Walker tariff, the per centage ot increase was greatest in population. wealth, manufactures and railroad mileage. the factors which affect most largely the prosperity of the country than in any decade since. The cost of government has large ly increased ainder republican rule. ,The expenditures per capita for the last years respectively of the admin istration given, taken from the re ports of the secretary of the treasury, were as follows: In 186o under Buchanan. $2.o1. In 1893 under Harrison. $4.7 In 1897 under Cleveland. $5-Io In 1go1 under McKinley. $6.56. In 1904 under Roosevelt, $7.10. The republicans now claim great consistency in their attitude upon the currency question. and the president in his recent speech of acceptance. said that they- know~ what they mean when they speak of a stable curren cv. "the same thing from year to year," and yet in the platforms of their part y in 1884. 1888 and 1892, they favoredl the dlouble standlard of value. Ite platform of 188 they said: The republican party is in favor of the use of both gold and silver as money. and condemns the p)olicy o1 the dlemocratic administration in its e.tirs ~' to demonetize silver."

The thief jumped from peak to peak. but the giant followed so fast as to finally overtake him. So Manoboze turned upon him and. upbraiding him for his stinginess, transformed him into a grasshopper. "That is the reason why the grass hopper is always chewing tobacco. Manabozo took the bagful of leaves and distributed them among his friends, the ancestors of the Indians of today.

His case was so sever that he had to have the members of the crew wait upon him and Mr. Gifford was called and consulted. He told them he had a medicine in the form of Chamberlain's Colic. Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy that he thought would help him and accordingly sev eral doses were administered with the result that the fellow was able to be around next day.
