DEN HCRATIC STATE PLATFORM

We hail with satisfaction the nomina-
ton of William Jennings Bryan and |
Adlai f. Stevenson for the Presidency .
and Nice-Presidencv of the [ nited States
by the action cf the Democratic. Silver /
Repullica, al ?.apulist parties of the
United States.
We rejoice that the new Democracy of
1897, which WAS 'an old Democracy of
LETTERS on, and is closely allied in faith
and purpose to tie Republicanism of
Lincoln. has again been 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-
into three Independent organizations,
and tt at 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
new attainahle in the line of reform, and
should satisfy the reasonable expecta-
rions of all reformers and lovers of their
| country; that the pure and exalted char
acter, the marked ability and high pa
| triotisin of William Jennings Bryan, fill
every requirement Of leadership, and
that patriotic duty demands the perfect
union into one political organization of
! all the parties now enlisted under his
leadership.
National Platform We endorse the
party. adopted at Kansas City, and pledge
our support to all its declarations, and
particularly those relating to the silver
and monetary question, and also impe-
rialism and the trust. the natural off
spring of the plutocratic policy of the
in boldEess and intensity since the de-
nOmetizatiOn of silver in 1873, until now
in 1900, it has practically substituted fol
the Declaration of Independence the
methods of Imperialism in the Admins
tration of our national government.
Silver Question-We hold that the Sill
yer question is still one of the imuortan
: issues of this campaign, and that it will
never be permanently settled until oul
minis are opened to the free and unlimit
, ed coinage of gold and silver at the ratio
, sent of other nations. We congratulate,
the supporters Of Bryan and Stevenson
ih Nevada that they are not subjected t,
the hamiliating necessity of abrogatin,
or modifying any plank in their nationa
| platform for the accommodation of thei
congressional nominee, The platform a
adopted at Kansas tity, is broad enough
for our National and State candidates
and contains not word the elimination
of which would d an iota Of strength
E to tie local nominees.
Trusts-We oppose the trusts and com
!. binations which control the products q
d industry and levy tribute upon the pee
r pie, and we denounce the Republica
v party which creates and fosters then
= We especially dcnonnce the scheme {
the Republican Administration to Great
, the greatest of all monoplies, in delegs
ting to the national hanks the exclusiv
right to make and issue the people
x money.
Our Flag-We condemn the cowardl
and inconsistent course of the Republ
can Administration, which plants on
Il flag nf freedom, defantly in the faces
h those struggling for liberty in the Phi
;: ipines, yet hauls it down from where
