FIcATloN ADDRESS.
DAVIS ENDORSES THE PLATFORM
THE PRESENT MONETARY STAND.
ARD OF VALUE IS iRREvocA.
BLY, ESTABLISHED.

White Sulphur Springs, w. Va, Aug.
10. - Henry G.. Davis was yesterday
formally notified of. and formally &C.
cepted his nomination by the Demo-
cratic party for vice president of the
United States. The ceremonies took
place in the open air in the grounds
of Greenbrier, White Sulphur Springs,
and was marked by simplicity
in every detail. Mr.. Davis was es-
corted to the flag-draped platform at
1880 o'clock in the afternoon by Rep
resentative John Sharp Williams of
Mississippi, who delivered the notifi-
cation address. Mr.. Williams occu-
pied an hour in speaking. 1t took Mr..
Davis ten minutes to read his formal
acceptance speech, but he prefaced
this with heart-to-heart talk Of a
like duration to several thousand
friends and neighbors, who were gath
cred under the trees as his audience.
Mr.. Davis was the center of interest
throughout the day. When it came his
time to respond to the notification ad-
dress he was kept standing some min
utes while the audience expressed its
enthusiasm.
Mr.. Davis Accepts.
Mr.. Davis said in part:
THE official notification which you
bring of my nomination for the vice.
presidency of the United States by
the national Democracy gives me a
feeling of the sincerest gratitude to
my party for the honor conferred.
II heartily indorse the platform,
and with the convention and it's NOM
inee for president, regard the present
monetary standard of value as ire
vOcably established.
I'm the campaign preceding the last
election much stress was laid by Re-
publican speakers upon the prosper
Gus condition of the country, and FORE
bodings were heard of the i'll results,
especially to the laboring man, which
would follow any change in the polit-
ical complexion of the government. 1t
is true that the times were then good,
but it Is no less fact that, while

Condition More Favorable but He 10

Worcester, Mass. Aug. 2O.-George
F. Hoar's condition was so favorable
at late hour last night that his fam
lily had some hope Of his recovery.
Gen. lockwood Hoar at 10 o'clock
last evening said that while his father
still is very weak. there is reason to
feel he may recover from his illness.
Senator HOar has remained conscious
and rested easily during yesterday.
His heart was at times weak, but at
times he held his own. The senator's
mind is perfectly clear and he thor
oughly realizes the seriousness of his
condition. He awaits the end with
calm resignation.

there hes been no change in the part,

year ending June 80. 1904, instead OF

to Aug. 10. or for about month and

"Our. Republican friends are prone
to refer to the great commercial
growth of the country under their
rule, and yet the census reports show
that from 1850 to 1860, under Demo-
cratic rule and the Walker tariff the
percentage was greater in population,
wealth, manufactures and railroad
mileage.
The Money Question.
"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 currency,
the same thing from year to year.
and yet in the platforms of their party
in 1884, 1888 and 1892 they favored
the double standard of value. In the
platform Of 1888 they said: The Re-
publican party favors the use of both
gold and silver as money. and con.

ton and tho majesty of the laws un.

Rights Of Labor.
I'm the language of our platform,
the rights OF labor are certainly no
less vested, no less sacred, and no
less inalienable than the rights of
capital. The time is opportune to EN-.
phasize the truth of this utterance.
The more sacred right of property is
the right to possess and own ones
self and the labor of ones own hands.

Years l worked in the ranks of the

earn my living by the sweat Of the
brow. My experience as a wage

Local Self.Government.
Il beg my countrymen, as they
value their liberty, to guard with
great care the sacred right of local
self government, and to watch with q
jealous eye the tendency of the times
to centralize power in the hands Of
the few.
1T will be my pleasure and duty, at

Statesboro, Ca, Aug. 20. = Beyond
the whipping of number of negroes
in this county and of one at Clayton,
twenty-five miles from here, nothing
developed yesterday in the situation
in this part of Georgia. The exodus
of negroes continues and already has
threatened a shortage in the labor

gerated reports have been sent from

ports have created the impression
abroad that life is unsafe and prop

for the lesson of Tuesday has made a
profound impression on the negroes.

the efforts of all classes of whites are
directed. No violence has been vdi-

day is the alleged acknowledgement of

PUBLIC SAFETY

The verdict of the Coronei'S jury in Chicago on
the lroquois Iheater tragedy is document of cx
ceptional Importance and Significance If prec:l-
tions against fire and the dangers arising from fire
ard panics avert catasrophes the iurys report
will he one of the most valuable of documents for
future study in all cities.
As 10 violation of the laws. the jury makes two
parties responsible-the public officials and the own
ers and managers of the the,tcr As to negligence
in providing for public safety in the tlleater the
jury holds two parties responsible-the owners and
managers of the theaer and the employees
The jury considers that the public officers have
specific duties and obligations that the. owners and
managers are directly responsible and that the en-
ployes have duties which binding in conscience
and law. The public officers must enforce the law:
If they fail 10 do they share in responsibility
any disaster which may take place. The owners
and managers expressly required to obey lilc
law, and should do without compulSion. as they
supposed to know the law: if they fail in com
pance, they share in responsibility. Employees who
fail in duty also share in responsibility.
Indirectly high public official may be held in
blame. 1t may be said. however that the blame is
more nominal than real. for the chief official cannot
be held to account for work or mistakes in all of
fees. His duties numerous. and he is not and
cannot be expected to make his supervision
stantly effective. Nevertheless, it is well to fix
indirect responsibility. 1t will help make the
laws more binding.
Another party should be included in the RESPONSE
blity. The public and especially that part Of the
public which patronzes the thcaters. is not without
certain obligations 1t is bound to insist enforce
ment of law 1t is bound to obey the law. 1t IS
supposed take advantage of the precautions pro-
vided for public safety.
This point may be plainly illustrated Theater
