Colorado reafirn the fundamental priEl-
ciples of the national Democratic platform
adopted in Chicago in 1856. The free and
unlimited coinage Of silver and gold at
the ratio of Is 10 !, and without awaiting
the aid or consent of any other nation on
earth, Is and must remain the paramount
issue in American politics until il is &C
complshed by national legislation
We recognize the matchless leadership
Of the patriot and Ilustrious citizen Will
lam Jennings Bryan, and TO mis- wise and
far-seeing craftsmanship we pledge our
continued end unwavering fidelity. The
Democratic party hereby approves Of the
recent war with Spain ard justly shares
in the glories Of dts results. We favor the
independence Of Cuba and the retention
by t disagreement of the other Spanish
Indian possessions and the control OF all
other Spanish territory taken by the
American forces in the war just closed.
THE TELLER REPUBLICANS.
When the Silver Republicans re-conven-
ed this afternoon they proceeded to MI
the places on the state ticket allotted 10
them in the fusion agreement Nomina-
tons were made as followsi
Treasurer-John H. Fesler, Glenwood
Springs.
Auditor-eGorge w. Temple. Rio Blanco
county.
Superintendent of Public Instruction
Mrs. Helen n. Greenfield. Gilpin county.
Regent of State University-Harold
Thompson, Cripple Creek.
A NJ Stevenson was elected chairman
Of the state central committee.
The Silver Republicans by rising vote
ratified the nominations made by the
Democratic convention.
Their platform as adopted demands that
the minis Of the United States be opened
to the coinage of both gold and silver at
the old ratio Of 16 toll without asking or
awaiting the aid or consent Of any other
nation.
The money plank further says:
1--WE arraign the gold standard Repubh-
can party for it's attempted deception Of
the American people by false pretenses
in favor of an International agreement for
the free coinage of silver, while actively
engaged in furthering the designs Of the
gold monopoly and the bankers trust;
and We Congratulate the American people
that in the present attitude of the admin
istration and in the declarations Of the
leading Republican state conventions this
year the nation has at last frank avow-
al by that party of its absolute surrender
to the gold standard system.
I'm the state of Colorado an especial
effort has been made to cloak and disguise
the designs Of the supporters of the gold
standard. The history of these times is
a woful chapter in the literature of polit-
ical discrimination. 1t has within the last
few days reached it's appropriate and in
evitabe elimination in an act which has
disgraced the state and may well appall
the citizenship Of the country.
THE advocates of the gold standard in
Colorado have attempted the theft of a
whole political party.
We believe that the continued existence
of the silver opinion in this state and in
the nation us for the present current, to
the advancement Of this great cause, and
we declare our continued fidelity to that
organization ana our undiminished conf
dence in our great leader, Senator Henry
M Teller"
The platform declares that the attempt
manifested in some quarters to claim the
results of the war ''as the property of a
certain political party is not creditable to
the patriotism of those who make it, and
continues: Until we declare our belief in
the administra ton of the people Of the
United States as the evangel of liberty
and lf-government to the nations of the
world and in their ability to discharge all
of the responsibilities " hich the fortunes
of war have thrown upon them. Where
ever the flag waves it shall be a symbol
of civil freedom and TO all men who gaze
upon its folds a guaranty of the inalien-
able rights of life, liberty and the pursuit
of happiness"
Thanks were extended to Hon. Charles
a. Towne. chairman of the national COM
mittee of the Silver Republican party, for
the righteous and forceful manner in
which he discharged the RESPONSE bilities
of his high office in removing Charles
Broad from the Craftsmanship of the state
committee
