There is every indication that the Democ-
racy of the state Of Washington viii be
organized at once and thoroughly equipped
in time for the contest OF 1900. In almost
every locality firm and united stand has
been taken. and the determination to win
on party principles is gaining ground every
day among Democrats With thorough or
ganiza;iou and perfect harmony and
unanimty on tha issues there is no reason
why victory should not be ours at the next
election. On the issues OF the Chicago
platform Democracy will gain large fol-
lowing from the fusion wreck among the
allied forces Of the Populists and Silver
Republicans.
