EX-SENATOR DAVIS AGREES

UWMICtl ?*? HlllUi
A dispatch from l'urkersburg, VN a.
Va., says the Democratic State convention
was jf session two hours
Wednesday afternoon and almost
three hours Wednesday night without
reaching the regular order of business,
which was left over until Thursday.
Awaiting the report and the platform
the time was devoted to oratory, muoh
of which was In favor of a dintlnctly
"white man's party."
It Is stated that while Henry Q.
Davis favors the so-called "Lily
White" policy, he does not consider
It expedient to insert such a plank in
the platform at this time. It Is c irrently
reported that he and otheis
have received telegrams Lorn members
of the natt nal committee and
other leaders, specially In New York,
that such a pi&nk In the platform
would have a bad effect In doubtful
States at this time.
The committee on resolutions Is believed
to be opp< sed to inserting such
a plank In this convention. It Is reported
that two members refused to
desist In deference to the wishes of
Mr. Davis and that the convention
was held over until Thursday in the
hope of preventing a "Lily White"
minority report.
W. K. Thompson of Huntington
and State Senator John Co nwell of
Hampshire are tonight the most pro/
minont. nandirlntAn for fhn numlnot
f >vt tuv uvuuiimuiuu
for governor.
The convention did not meet under
suoh harmonious, conditions an had
been anticipated,/ pecially for minor
places on the ticket. The delegates
were still disposed to subordinate
everything to the desire of aiding
Henry G. Davis in carrying his own
State for the national tloket, but there
were differences of opinion as to
"what was best for Davis," and as to
how things should be done even after
it was decided what was wanted.
The wigwam's seating capacity of
2,700 was taken with standing room
in demand when the convention was
called to order by Ool. Thos B. Davis,
a brother of the v!ce presidential
candidate, and ch&rman of the Suite
committee, who ann u teed John T.
McGraw of Graf; on as temporary
chairman. Mr. McGraw said, among
other things:
"The record of President Roosevelt's
administrati 11 Is or.e of promises
broken and oonvenants unfulfilled.

In imposing upon southern people men
of like color as their public servants
and political peers, and in attempting,
by a plank in his party's platform, to
disfranchise southern representatives
and nullify southern votes in the elec
toral college."
On reas embling In the evening the
conventien Indulged in a long continued
demonstration as Former Senator
Davis entered the wigwam. Mr.
Davis thanked the c invention for Its
hear y greeting and hoped its harmony
and enthusiasm would continue
until November, lie said in part:
"I cannot refrain from anexpre sion
of my gratification at this large and
enthusiastic convention of Democrats,
showing as it does the same spirit of
unity and determination In West Virginia
that pervades the Democracy
throughout^all sections of the country.
Out nation standard bearer,
Judge Parker, will on the 10th day of
this month be formally notified of his
nomination, and in the acceptance
thereof will naturally give his view
upon the questions at Issue in the
campaign. A week later 1 will be
notified at White Sulphur Springs of
my nomination for the office of vice
president, and at that time it will be
my duty to gi\e some expression of
my views on political issues, it is
therefore, 1 think, my duty both to
our candidate for the presidency and
| to our party that 1 should not now
enter into a discussion or the Issues."
As Mr. Davis was concluding some
one yelled, 4'Ilurrali for a white man's
party," when Mr. Davis replied: 441
certainly agree with you on 1 lie white
man proposition." Then followed a
rousing demonstration that listed
some moments.
The convention on Thursday nominated
State Senator John Cornwall for
governor and endorsed John T. McGraw
for United States senator to
suoceed Nathan B. Scott. The proceedings
throughout appeared to be in
accordance with the wishes of Henry
G. Davis, the Drmocrat'o candidate
for vice-president. There is no question
about the convention being almost
unaiiim uis'y In favor of the
"white supremacy" proposition, and

kept out of the platform, receiving
only 87 votes out of 074.
Mr. Davis did not attend the convention
Thursday, but was busy at
his hotel in arranging for the camS&ign.
He remained there until Frlay
night in conference with slate
committeemen,candidatesaDd others.
While there were "free for all" contests
for minor places on the state
Lickt t, the control of the party machinery
was said to be involved in the
head of the t'eket. John T. McG a v,
member of the national committee for
West Virginia, was opposed by former
Ghvernor MoOorkle, Joseph Chilton
and others, who had concentrated on
W. R. Thompson as the'r favorite for
governor. Colonel McG raw first favored
John F. Holt, who was the
Democratlo candidate for governor

harmony Judge Holt refused to be a
cum Hate. Colonel McGraw tlnally
selected Senator John Cornwall for
the head of the ticket. It required
three exciting ballots to nominate
Cornwall. In tills contest former
Senator Davis was entirely neutral.
Chairman Dailey had no sooner tlnlshcd
reading the platform than cries
were heard, "Where is the white
man's plank?"
George Byrne offered an amendment
to the unanimous report which added
the "white man's plank" that had
been so much talked about during the
week and an animated discussion began
on that issue. The Byrne
amendment was as follows:
"We believe that the destinies of
West Virginia should and must be
shaped and controlled by the white
people of the state and while we disclaim
any purpose to do any Injustice
whatever to the negro population,
yet weaunounce without reserve
our llxed purpose to preserve, in every
conservative and constitutional way,
the social and political supremacy of
our own race believing that by the
frank avowal and consumation of such
purpose alone can racial contention
and conflicts be pei manently avoided."
Byrne made a strong speech in sup
port of his amendment, showing that
such action had b. en taken by some
states bordering on West Virginia as
would cause an invasion of negroes
into this state, especially during elec
Uoqh and subsequently muke s clal
conditions dangerous.
Ubalrinan Dalley replied, admitting
the condition that confronted tiie
state, but in tiie interest of the national
ticket, lie insisted that this was)
not the time fur such action. He referred
to the mlm-d schools and other
onditions in Indiana, New York,
New Jersey ai.d Ck>nneoticut as the
doubtful states that were wanted for
Parker and Davis and in which the
oolored vote was a fac' or.
Dalley, who is tiie neighbor of
Davit, made a strong appeal for obedience
to the wishes of the vice-presidential
nomiuee.
As soon as Dalley concluded, many
were so king to speak, but they were
stopped by the previous question being
ordered. The amrndment was
defetted, yeas, 87; nays, 916. Many
of those voting announced, "We favor
the amendment, but vote*, 'nay.' "
The platform as offered was then
adopted.
The Negro flunk.
The Portsmouth Star says in the
North tte negro part of the Republican
platform Is aim st taking care of
Itself for the Democrats. That is,
the Democrats need not do anything
more than urge the negroes to take
the position the lUxsivelt policy suggests
to them and the Democratic
candidates will get the white voles by
thousands on the issue of elevating
the negro. The crusade for the negro
was se.tied in the state of New .Ter.
sey by tbe outrage on the farmer's
young wife near Burlington by three
negro tramps. New Jersey is not
particularly fond of President Boos 3velttm
any plea, but on the plea for
negro supremacy that ooe case settled
the question with the average voter.

Edward C. Wall of Wiscons. and
Mrs. Wall were the guests of Ju *ge
Parker Wednesday. They are en
route to Europe. Mr. Wall brought
a cordial message direct from Wm. J. j
Bryan, assuring Judge Parker that he
is heartily with the ticket and will
place himself at the disposal of the
Democratic natioual committee to do
everything in his power to Insure party
success this fall. Mr. Bryan breakfasted
with Mr. Wall at the latter's
home in Milwaukee July 23rd and
they spent several hours together.
Mr. Wall said today that Mr. Bryan
had been misunderstood in the east
and that the feeling toward him Is
unfortuna'e. Continuing, he said:
"Bryan is a Democrat and never
will be anything else. While differ-1
ing on some questions from delegates
In the St. Louis convention he real'/.es
that these questions were ruled upon
and has accepted the decision. He is
satisfied with the platform adopted
and thinks, all circumstances considered,
the platform is for the best Interests
of the party at large. 1 will
net attempt to say that he has abandoned
any of the principles he advocated
in bis campaign, but he thinks
i-nai, ii ne was right lie will eventually
be vindicated. That, however,
will not turn him from what he believes
to be the duty of every Democrat
to support the platform and the
ticket of the party.
HHYAN'8 ADMIRATION.
"The admiration Mr. llryan has for
Judge Parker Is not halfhearted. He
said to me that Judge Parker's telegram
to the convention showed courage
and that a man who could so
bravely confess his convictions Is a
suitable standard bearer for the party
and one that every Democrat can endorse
and support with credit to himself."
Mr. Wall was asked about the report
that Mr. Bryan while supporting
the ticket, would not speak directly
In favor of Judge Parker's election.
He said emphatically:
"That Is not true, and I want you
to quote me as saying so. Mr. Bryan
was twice given a commission to lead
the Democratic party and at the St.
Louis convention he surrendered his
position of command. But In surrendering
that be abandoned none of his
party fealty. Again, 1 want to say
he is a Demoorat in every sen'ie of the
word."
Judge Parker was greatly interested
in the Wisconsin situation. Mr. Wall
told him that while the State under
normal conditions gives 20,000 plu

between the Lafullette and the "stalwart"
factions is of such a nature <
that it cannot be healed, lie expresse

WISCONSIN SITUATION.
Discussing the division in Wiacon- s
sin's Republican ranks, Mr. Wall said
that while the two factions have i
named the same set of electors, the law :
enacted a few years ago to take advantage
of a break In the Democratic par- 1
ty would now work against' the Re- <
publicans. Under this law the same i
name cannot^appear twice on the bal- <
lot. The electors wl!l be placed on t
the ballot over the ticket of the "stal- 1
warts" or over the Lafollete faction.
Whichever faotion wins this distlnc* c
tion said Mr. Wall, will get the vote i
of the party man who always vote the
straight ticket, but if a representative t
of the other faction wants to cast his |
ballot for the Republic in electors and 1
his own State ticket, it will be neces- '
sary for him to place a cross before r
the name of every person on the ticket
for whom he desires to vote.
Mr. Wall expressed the belief that
this tight will cause a defection lo the
Democratic ticket.
"At any rate," he continued," Wiscons
in must at least L>e counted as one
of tne doubtful States."
Among the prominent visitors expected
at Rosemount tomorrow are
Senator Jos. W. Bailey of Texas, National
Committeeman H. D. Clayton

TAKES HIS OWN LIFE.
Mr. Duvlil I*. Venter, of tireeuvllle,
Hhoote HluiMeir.
A special dispatch to The State
says: At 0 o'clock Thursday morning
at his country residence near that
city, 1). P. Veruer, master In equity
of Greenville county, killed himself
Instantly by shooting himself In the
head with a double barrel shot-gun,
as the supposed result of temporary
aberration on account of ill health.
The tragedy occurred In his bedroom
while Mr. Verner was in the room
alone. When found after the report
of the gun, the body was across the
bed with the left side of the head
blown almost completely otT.
During the night the gun had stood
In a corner of the room. The community
was shocked by the distressing
news and sympathy for the stricken
family was spontaneous as it was
general. He was one of the most
popular and painstaking of alljGreenville's
county officials and has filled
the master's office of the oounty with
eminent satisfaction for a period of 17
years, his repeated elections testifying
to the universally high esteem in
which he was held. He was in his
offloe Wednesday and in the afternoon
was driving about the city.
Mr. "Verner was born in Ooonee
county, his youth being spent at the
home of his parents near Walhalla.
He received the usual education given
at the country schools and as a young
man read law in Walhalla where he
was admitted to the bar. Later he
moved to Greenville where he practiced
law until elected to the office of
master of Greenville county in 1887.
Judge Verner served faithfully in
this capacity for 17 years and had he
lived would have tjeen the occupant of
this offloe for 22 consecutive years,
having been chosen to serve another
four years. He is survived by a wife
and two daughters. He was 50 years
old and is one of a family of 11 children,
nine of which survive him. No
funeral arrangements have as yet been
made.
KIIImI t?V Iilahlnln?
A special to The State from Greenville
&ays news reached here from Maul*
dins of the killing of John P. Clark
and Charles B. Garrett, farmers, by
lightning near that village Monday
afternoon. Another farmer, George
Thompson, was standing by and re*
celvod serious injuries. Physicians
say he will probably die. The two
farmers were sharpening tools on a
grindstone when the boltstruok. They
were killed Instantly, their bodies
being badly burned and their clothing
literally torn from them. A peculiar
freak of the lightning wa9 the deatruc
tlon of a bee gum about tlve feet from
where the men were killed. Every
bee in the hive was killed by the same
bolt that killed the two farmers and
seriously injured another.
Thk men who are guilty of the foul
murder at Kutawyille should be
punished to the full extent of the
law.
