DEMOCRATIC STATE PLATFORM

We hail with satisfaction the nominal
ton of William Jennings Bryan and
Adlai F.. Stevenson for the Presidency
and Nice-Presidency of the [ nited States
Ivy the action If tho Democratic. silver
Republican and populist 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 Repuhlicanism Of
Lincoln. has again been re-assertea 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 organization. as of pur-
pnse 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 attainahle in the line Of reform, and
| should satisfy the reasonable expec:a-
| 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
union into one political organization Of
! all the parties now enlisted under his
! leadership.
