STATE PLATFORM

We hail with satisfaction the nomina
ton of William Jennings bryan and
Adlai +. Stevenson Cor the Presidency
and Nice-Presidencv of the United St,tes
hv the action Of the Democratic Silver
Republican and Populist parties of the
United States.
We rejoice that the rev Democracy of
1897 which was the old Democracy Of
Jefferson and is closely allied in faith
and purpose to the Republicanism of
Lincoln. has again been re-asserted in
1900, and that it is receiving the united
support "f the reform forces. We de-
clare our bnlief that no reason now ex-
lists for the division of the reform forces
into three independent organizations,
and that unity of organizatian, 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-
| rinnS OF all refOrmers and lovers of their
country; that the pure and exalted char
acter, the marked ability and high pa
triotisn, of William Jennings Bryan, fill
every requirement of leadership. and
that patriotic duty demands the perfect
union int" one political organization of
all the parties now enlisted under his
leadership.

Republican party, which has increased
in boldness and intensity since the de.
nometization of silver in 1873, until now
in 1900, it has practically substituted fol

methods of Imperialism in the Admins
