Ceremonies Were Simple.
White Sulphur Springs, Va., Aug.
17. The ceremonies attending the no
tification of Davis were simple and
full of enthusiasm. They took place
shortly after 1 o'clock in a natural
theater within a stone's throw of tho
famous old Green Brier hotel.
A thousand men and women who
stood about the green, applauded the
sentiments of the speaker. West Vir
ginia's leading democrats were pres
ont In force. It is a perfect day. Tho
ex-senator mingled with the crowd
that had come to pay him homage,
and shook hands with many. The usu
al custom was ignored by presenting
a formal written notification in ad
vance. Chairman Williams appointed
a committee to escort the nominee to
the parlor In which the committee
met. He appeared at 11:35 on tho
arms of Perry Belmont and Jam,es H.
Vahey, of Massachusetts,
"This Is more than I deserve, gen
tlemen," ho said modestly. Chairman
Williams then presented the formal
notification.
Chairman Williams' Address.
Following Is tho synopsis of the
speech of John Sharp Williams, noti
fying Henry G. Davis of his nomina
tion for tho vice-presidency. Mr. Wil
liams was In bis best mood and his
speech was sarcastic in the extreme.
He said In part:
"We havo been appointed by a most
notable convention as a committee to
notify you of your nomination by tho
democratic party, as Its choice for
vice-president. Wo desire to express
tho pleasure we feel In having been
selected to perform this duty and also
our confidence In your faithfulness,
honesty and wisdom."
Tho remainder of tho speech was
what the speaker called a "brief his
torical discussion upon somo blundors
of our ancestors, as viewed from the
standpoint of the wisdom of republi
can statesmen who have embraced
tho strenuous life."
The speech was In an entirely sa
tirical vein. "The first of those blun
ders," he said, "was discriminating
ognlnst tho redman, the Imago of God
In cherry, on account of his race, col
or and provious condition. Tho next
blundor consisted in taking up arms
against King George.
"Wo have, however, made amends
for this silly business by government
al strenuoslty alt Indianola, Miss.,
which, by. tho Whlto House decrees,
have been excommunicated from tho
Intelligence of the world.
"Th.e next great blunder was Im
molation by our ancestors of the na
tion's industrialism upon tho altar of
fr.eo trade within a common domain,
notwithstanding already existing
sfato lines furnished a convenient
placo, opportunity and temptation to
establish custom houses. Ho was re
minded of another s.erlous blunder.
Our ancestors seemed to havo enter
tained ,the notion that combinations
In restraint of trade, by seeking mon
opoly, by throttling competition, -wero
in sorao way, adverse to the develop
ment of Individuality.."
Williams said: "What a chi dish
Idea of our ancostors that tho presi
dent Is simply tho chief exocutivo:
that his duty consists In executing tho
laws as written.
It Is a sincere nlensure to bo able
to help to this high nosltlon a man of
your character, senso and modesty.
A man who, ns a result of a life of
continence, temperance nnd honest
Industry, presents a picture of virile,
though advanced in ago, of thnt
'mens sana In corpor.o sano,' which
was taught by tho ancients 10 be the
summon bonum of Individual earthly
existence."
Mr. Davis' Speech.
Following the notification, Mr.
Davis made the following brief nd
dress: "Official notification from you of
my nomination for tho vlco presiden
cy by the national democratic con
vention gives mo a feeling of slncor
est appreciation for the honor confer
red. A spirit of determination to suc
ceed In tho campaign before us ap
pears to pcrvado the rank and file
of the party In all sections of tho
country.
"I am impelled to the acceptance
by an obligation, hoping that I may
be able to assist In restoring to pow
er the, party whose principles history
guarantees to b.e a safe, wise and eco
nomical constitutional administration
of tho government. I find It a pleas
ure In standing here upon the border
land of the two Virginias, to receive
and accept the commission you bear.
"Is It not significant of a closer,
truer brothorhood among us, that for
the first tlmo since the war, a nomi
nee on a national ticket is taken from
that section lying south of the Mason
and Dixon line.
"It is a happy recognition that all
sectional differences which led to
and followed that unhappy struggle
aro ended.
"I heartily Indorse the platform up
on which I was nominated and with
tho convention and tho nominee for
president. '
"I regard tho present monetary
standard of value as Irrevocably es
tablished. In tho campaign preceding
tho last election, the republicans laid
stress on the prosperous condition of
the country and tho 111 results that
would follow a change.
"True, tho country was prosperous,
but It Is also true that tho ovils they
prophesied came under a republican
administration. Then the factories,
mills and mines wero In activo oper
ation. Now work Is scarce, many
wage-earners aro unemployer nnd
wages aro reduced. Apprehension
which now prevails in business cir
cles, present unsatisfactory industrial
conuiuons demand a political change.
"I congratulate the committee and
th,o constituency It represents In Its
selection us a nominee for president,
a man of courago, yet prudent; or
high Ideals, yet without pretense; of
tho most wholesome respect for the
constitution and a majority of the
laws under It. Ho Is not an orator or
a man of letters, but a man of resorvn
force, and sound Judgment whom the
people Havo called to the office of
president.
"Dlro predictions wero made by our
opponents as to what would happen at
St. Louis. This Judged tho
the party and the poople. All differ-
oncos wero harmonized nnd a plat
form adopted which was sane, safo
and sound.
"I beg my countrymen, as thov
valuo liberty, to guard with great caro
the sacred right of local self govern
ment, to watch with a Joalous eye
tho tendency of tho times to central
Izo power In tho hands of the few.
Moro sacred than th.o right of prop
erty is the right to possess and own
ones self and tho labor of oue's own
hands.
"For years I worked In tbo ranks.
A wago-oorner la measured by tho
character or tho work ho does and
the cost of living to men, entitle thorn
to full compensation for their servi
ces. "It will bo my pleasure and dntv
nt a tlmo not far hence, to accopt
moro formally in writing the nomina
tion tendered mo and give ray views
on som,e Important questions com
manding tho attention of tho coun
try." i

between 3 and 4 o'clock at tho home
df his parents, Luclen Smith nnd wife
In Pilot Hock, by shooting himself
through tho head with a bullet from a
3S-calibro pistol, death tnklng place
at 7:40 this morning.
Mr. Smith, who wns 45 years of ago
and u bachelor, has been In poor
health for several years. A tendency
toward bladder nnd other urinal trou
bles had been grently aggravated by
an accident that took placo about
three years ago. A fractious broncho
threw him, nnd tho pommel of tho
saddle badly bruised his groin and the
abdominal region gonernlly.
Mr. Smith, so friends living In Pon
dleton avor, was naturally of a do
spoudent temperament, and tho acci
dent and Its results terminated In a
Bettled melancholy that bccam,o doop
despondency whonover ho experienc
ed periods of unusual suffering, nnd
was heard several times ainco the ac
cident to oxprcss tho Intention of tak
ing his own llfo. Such an nttnek over
came him sovcral days ago, and ho ro
newed bin threats of suleldo. Ho said
but llttlo, being naturally roticont,
but IiIb parents feared ho would carry
tho threat Into execution, and kopt as
close a watch upon him as thoy could.
Their son was an InuustrloiiH man,
and much of tho tlmo was out of tholr
sight, and thoy could maintain only a
very limited survelllanco over his
movements.
Deed Was Premeditated.
A few moments beforo tho shooting
Frank camo Into tho ho'uso of his pa
rents, with whom ho mado his homo,
and passed through from tho front to
the rear. Ho went through a room oc
cupied by his mother, and it appears
that ho stopped on tho way, opened a
trunk belonging to his mother and
took therefrom a rovolver of an anti
quated pattern, but which wns load-
oil, and passed unnoticed with it out
of tho roar door.
A fow moments after ho passed
through tho houso his mother hoard
tho report of a pistol In tho back
yard. Sho lnstlnctlvoly know what
was tho matter and ran outsldo and
found Frank sitting on a box which
was against tho sldo of n abed. Ilv
