We hail with satisfaction the nomipa-
ton of William Jennings Bryan and
Atllai F. Stevenson for the Presidency
and Presidency Of the United States
ty the action of ;he Democratic. Silver
Republican and Pnpulist parties of the
United States.
We rejoice that the new 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
1000, 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 hat unity of organization, 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 lovers If their

sc!er, the marked ability and high pa
