DEMOCRATIC STATE PLATFORM

We hail with satisfaction the nomina-
ton of William Jennings Bryan and
Adlai z. Stevenson for the Presidency
and Vice-Presidency of the United States
nv the action Of tl:e Democratic. Silver
Republican, and Popul:st parties OF the .
United States
We rejoicc that the new Democracy of
1897, which was the old Democracy of !
Jefferson, ard is closely allied in faith |
ard purpose to the Republicanism 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-
into three Independent organizations,
and that unity of orga n;zatian, 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 exrecta-
riens of all reformers and lovers of their
country; that the pure and exalted char
acter the marked ability AMI 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.

party. adopted at Kansas City, and pledge
our support to all it's declarations. and
particularly those relating to the silver

rialism and the trust. the natural iA-
spring Of the plutocratic policy of the
in boldness and intensity since the de-
nomctization of silver in 1873, unit! now,
in 1900, it has practically substituted for
the Declaration Of independence the
methods of imperialism in the Admins

issues of this campaign, and thst it will
