STATE PLATFORM

We hail with satisfaction the nomina- |
ton of William Jennings BRYAN and
Adla F.. Stevenson for the Pres dencv
and Vice-Presidenrv Of the United States
hy the action Of the Democratic. Silver
Republican and Populist parties Of the
United States.
We rejoice that the new Democracy Of
1897. which was III" old Democracy Of
Jefferson, and is CLOSELY allied in faith
and purpose to the Republicanisn of
Lincoln, has again heen re-asserted in
1900, and that it is receiving the united
support of the reform forces. We de-
clare our belief that no reason now ex-
lists for the division of the reform forces
into three Independent organizations,
and that unity Of orga niZatan, as of pur-
pose is the demand Of the hour.
| We believe that the Chicago and Kan
| sas City platforms cover all that is need
| ed in the Enforcement Of our traditional
principles of government and all that is
now attainable in the line Of reform, and
| should satisfy the reasonable expecta-
rions of all reformers and levers IF their
country; that the pure and exalted char
acter, the marked ability and high pa
triotism Of William jennings Bryan, ill
every requirement of leadership, and
that patriotic duty demands the perfect
all the parties now enlisted under his
leadership.
National Platform - We endorse the
platform of the National Democratic
party, adopted at Kansas City, and pledge
, our support to all it's declarations, and
particularly those relating to the silver
and monetary question, and also impt-
: rialism and the trust. the natural off
spring Of the plutocratic policy of the
Republican party, which has increased
in boldness and intensity since the dc
nometizatiOn of silver in 1873, until now
= in 1900, it has practically substituted fnl
/ the Declaration of Indepen.lenre tn,
: methods of imperialism in the Admins
r tration Of our national government.
e Silver Questinn-We hold that the Sill
e yer question is still one of the I'M, ,orta,,

d never be permanently settled until on
r minis are opened to the free and unlimi,
o ed coinage Of gold and silver at the rati
3 Of sixteen to enc, regardless of the cor

: the supporters of Bryan and StevensO
the h7miliating necessity of abr"gatin
