DEN STATE PLATFORM

We hail with satisfaction the nomina-
ton of William jennings Bryan and
AaIai +. Stevenson for the Presidency
and Nice-Presidenrv of the United States
by the action Of the Democratic, Silver
Republican a'! Pnpulist parties of the
United Stat,s
We rejoice that the new Democracy of
1897, which was IN" old Democracy OF
Jefferson and is i,selv 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-
into three independent organizations,
and that unity of organization, as of pur
pose is the demand of The hour.
We believe that tie 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
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 it's declarations, and
particularly those relating to the silver
and monetary question, and also i,rpr-
rialism and the trust. the natural of:
spring of the plutocratic policy of the
Republican party, which has increased
in holiness 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 important
issues of this campaign, and that it will
never be permanently settled until Oul
ed coinage Of geld and silver at the ratio
OF sixteen to one, regardless of the con
sent of other nations. We congratulate,
the supporters of Bryan and Stevenson
il Nevada that they are not subjected t,
the h1miliating necessity Of abrogatini
platform for the accommodation of thei
/ congressional nominee The platform q
adopted at Kansas City, is broad enough
for our National and State candidate
and contains not " ord the elimination
, of which would Ian iOta of strength

Trusts-We oppose the trusts and com
binatinns which. control the products @
! industry and levy tribute upon the pec
r pie, and we den0unce the Republics

We especially denonnce the scheme {
the Republican Administra:io ion to Great
