Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1900-11-01
DEMOCRATIC STATE PLATFORM

We hail with satisfaction the nomina-
ton of William Jennings Bryan and |
Adlai +. Stevenson for the Presidency
and Vice-Presidenry of the United States
by the action Of the Democratic. Silver
Republican, "n;! p"pulist parties of the
United States.
We rejoice that the new Democracy of
1897, which was tho old Democracy of
Jefferson, ard is loosely 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 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 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-
rions of all reformers and lovers of their
| country; that the pure and exalted char
acter, the marked ability and high pa
| triotism of William Jennings Bryan, fill
| 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 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
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
the Declaration Of Independence the
methods of imperialism in the Admins
tratisn of our national government.
Silver Question-We hold that tho Sill
yer question is still one Of the importan
issues of this campaign, and thst it will
never be permanently settled until oul
minis are opened to the free and unlimit
. cd coinage Of geld and silver at the ratio
: Of sixteen to enc, regardless of the con
, sent of other nations. We congratulate,
. the supporters Of Bryan and Stevenson
the h:lmiliating necessity of abrogatinl
or modifying any plank in their nationa
platform for the ccOnmodatien Of thei
v congressional nominee, The platform a
adopted ut Kansas City, is bread 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 coin
I, binations which control the products q
q industry and levy tribute upon the PEE
r pie, and we denounce the Republica
Y party which creates and fosters then
J. We especially denonnce the scheme {
j. the Republican Administra, ion to Great
:, the greatest Of all monoplies. in delegs
ting to the national banks the exclisiy
right, to make and issue the people
X money.
Our Flag-We condemn the cowardl
: and Inconsistent course of the Republ
n can Administration, which plants on
u flag of freedom. defantly in the faces
n those struggling for liberty in the Phi
:: ipines. yet 6auls 1t down from where
J. has honorably and righfully been for
third of a century, in the Porcupine Mil
ing District of Alaska.
