Republican and Populist parties of the

We rejoice that the new Democracy of
Jefferson, and is closely allied in faith
and purpose to the Republicanism Of
Lincoln, has again been re-assertel 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 attainahle in the line of reform, and

rions of all refOrsners and lovers of their

triotism of William jennings Bryan, fill

that patriotic duty demands the perfect
| union into one political organization of
