DAVIS NOTIFIED
Of His Nomination for vioe-fresident
BY the Democrats.
EVENT WAS A NOTABLE ONE.
A Large and Enthusiastic Crowd is
Present When the Speeches
Arc Made by Messrs.
Williams and Davis.

Henry G.. Davis Wednesday was
formally notified of and formally &C.
copied 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 the Green Brier White, Sulphur
Springs hotel ard were marked by
simplicity iu every detail.
Mr.. Davis was escorted to the flag
draped platform at 1.30 O'Clock in the
afternoon by Representative John
Sharp Williams of Mississippi, who
delivered the notification address. An
invocation by the Right Rev. DR.. w.
L. Gravatt Of the Episcopal diocese OF
West Virgian preceded Mr.. Williams
address. 1t took Mr.. Davis 10 minutes
to read his formal acceptance but he
prefaced this with heart to heart
talk Of like duration to the several
thousand friends and neighbors who
were gathered under the trees as his
audience. A reception and cotillion in
honor Of the nominee were held In the
hotel in the evening.
Special trains began arriving at
White Sulphur last night. Several
cane this mer::uy and the last, 4 Is
car special from Charleston, w. Va,
delayed the ceremonies a half hour,
as Mr.. Davis did not wish to disap.
point his friends en- route by proceed
ing without them.
Old fashioned coaches and four"
rolled in with steaming horses and
merry passengers from nearby resorts;
farmers drove to "The White" with
their families from many miles around
and mountaineer made pilgrlmages
with saddle bags crammed with ra-
tiODS.
White Sulphur has population at
this time of the year of nearly 1000
guests-mostly the feminine elite of
southern society. These, in their sum-
mer finery, together with the travel
stained visitors, made most cosmop-
olitan gathering estimated 1900 to
4 900 in numbers. AS an enthusiastic
demonstration ut did itself proud" as
Mr.. Williams put it.

NOTHING OF ALL THIS

by the President. On the contrary,
passing over all legeal remedies, re-
sort was had at once to an and captain
dunn and theatrical announcement Of
course that was without any legal
sanction and which punished the con.
fessed!y Innocent equally with the
guilty. Edmund Burke, you will re-

greater and wiser than Rurke, knows
how not only to indict, but to try,

IAN SORRY TO BE OBLIGED

l AM SORRY TO BE OBLIGED
to add that the Presidents action In
this case was greeted by salvos of ap.
proval from his party friends; and it
must be further added that not few
who are not his political supporters
applauded his action. So slow are
men to look below the surface of
things and see the essence OF such con.
duct So easy Is 1t to palm Off hum
bug and claptrap, yes, and rank in
justice and cruelty, as honorable in
dlgnation or spirited defence Of right.
For what is the essence OF the Presi-
dents action? 1t Is that because
portion, comparatively small por-
tlon, OF one entire community acts
badly, the President may take 1t upon
himself, without a hearing and with
out law, to punish the whole COM
munity, the guilty and innocent alike.
The President had not shadow OF
authority or right to close the post
Office at IndianOla, none whatever,
and no man can show such authority.
The act was purely wanton and law
less act. What he could do and what
he should have done was to set in mo-
tion the legal remedies so abundantly
provided by our Federal statutes for
the punishment Of those who caused
Mrs. Cox to resign and abandon her
Office. The Federal statute book Is
literally stuffed with provisions framed
to meet and punish such offences. L It
