GOV. DAVIS SPEECH.
Made Before The Democratic Slate Con-
vention Last Week.

Gentlemen of the Convention
For the third time in my life |
appear before the organized De-
mocracy of Arkansas to extend
to them my thanks for the honor
which they have conferred upon
me by electing me to each and
every office for which | have
asked them. But today | feel
more grateful than ever before in
my life for the reason, perhaps,
that I have passed through one
of the most bitter, villainous and
contemplate campaigns that was
ever waged against mortal man,
in this or any other state of the
galaxy. But, my friends, true
and loyal as they have always
been, have borne me kindly and
gently in their arms far above
this vile calumny and abuse, and
| speak but the simple truth to-
day when | say to you, represen-
tatives of the people of my native
state, that in my heart there Isl no
thorn of bitterness, no enmity or
ill will to any man on this earth.
By this | do not mean that make
no distinction between my politi-
cal friends and past political ene-
mics. My friends are always
right to me, and their gentle,
kind solicitude has plucked out
all the thorns and healed up all
my wounds, and today l am the
happiest, most grateful man in
all the confines of this state.
have but one aspiration, gen.
tlemen, in accepting this nomina-
ton, and that is that | may serve
my people well and faithfully,
Whittier or not | shall do this de-
pends not only upon my official
conduct, but upon the official
conduct of another coordinate
department of the government,
viz, the legislative department.
When l shall have passed away
from this earth want no man to
write my epitaph upon tablets of
stone, but rather would l leave it
in a more enduring form, upon
the tablets of the hearts of my
countrymen, and upon the statue
books of my state for having
done something beneficial to my
people. The chief ambition Of
my life and future administration
shall be this: First, to more
perfectly place upon basis of
humanity and kindness the char
table institutions of our state.
Second, to put our penitentiary
upon that basis which shall reflect
credit not only upon my admins
tration, but upon the state at
large.
All, gentleman of the conven-
ton, l do not believe that the
state should punish her criminals
simply for the sake of punish
ment. l believe that mercy, like
the gentle dew that falls from
heaven, is twice blessed, blessing
him who gives and him who re-
ceives; | believe that the convict
when he goes out of the peniten-
tiary should love the state rather
than hate it, ought to feel that he
can take up the tangled web of
life and fight bravely the battles
which confront him, feeling that
his punishment was necessary for
his reformation, and | assure you
my countrymen, that whenever
in my judgement think reform
alton in any convict has taken
place and that he is ready to go
out in life and make a good, USE
full citizen to the state, that NOM
ent shall he be pardoned. The
convict system, as you all we'll
know, is upon a basis which is
