DEMOCRATIC STATE PLATFORM

We hail with satisfaction the nominal
ton of William Jennings Bryan and
Adlai E. Stevenson for tho Presidency
and Vice-Presidency Of the United States
by the action Of The Democratic, Silver
Repuilicar .,:,,l nnpulist parties of the
United States.
We rejoice that no new Democracy Of
1897. which was ''ao old Democracy of
Jefferson, and is ioselv allied in faith
and purpose to the Republicanism of
Lincoln, has again been re-assertcd 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-
pose is the demand of the hour.
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-
| fions of all reformers and lovers of their
| acter, the marked ability and high pa
triOtism of William Jennings Bryan, fll
every requirement of leadership, and
that patriotic duty demands the perfect
| union into one political organization al
| all the parties now enlisted under his
leadership.
