DEMOCRATIC STATE PLATFORM

We hail with satisfaction the nomina-
ton of William Jennings Bryan and /
Adlai F.. Stevenson fer the Presidency
and Presidency of the United States I
by the action of the Democratic Silver
Republican and P"pulist parties Of the .
United States.
We rejoice 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-assertca in
1900. and that it is receiving the united
clare our belief that no reason now ex-
lists for the division of the reform forces
into three independent organizations,
and tt at unity OF organization. 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
now attainable in the line of reform, and
should satisfy the reasonable expecta-
ri~ns 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
| 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
i platform of the National Democratic
! party. adopted at Kansas City, and pledge
| our support to all its declarations, and
particularly those relating to the silver
| and monetary question, and also in,p,-
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 1878, until now,
i'll 1860, it has practically substituted for
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 i'm portan:
| issues of this campaign, and tt*t it will
never be permanently settled until our
minis are opened to the free and nnlimit-
ed coinage of gold and silver at the ratio
Of sixteen to enc, regardless of the con.
sent of other nations. We congratulate
the supporters of Bryan and Stevenson
the h'lmiliating necessity of abrOgatine
or modifying any plank in their national
platform for the accom- mediation nf thei
congressional nominee, The platform as
adopted at Kansas City, is broad enough
for our National and State candida cs
and contains not word the eliminatio,
Of which would d an iota Of strength
to tie local nominees.
Trusts-We oppose the trusts and cn,n
binations which control the products o
industry and levy tribute upon the peo
pie, and we denounce the Republican
party which creates and fosters then.
: We especially denonnce the scheme O
the Republican Administra ion to creat
the greatest of all nloncplies, in delcga
ting to the national banks the exrl,.siv
right to make and issue the people
money.
Our Flag-We condemn the cuwarll,
and Inconsistent course Of the Republi
, can Administration, whirh plants GU
flag Of freedom, defiantly in the faces q
l those struggling for liberty in the Phil
ipines, vet hauls it down from where
has honorably and righf,illy been for
third of a century, in the Porcupine Min
ng District of Alaska.
