We hail with satisfaction the nominal
ton of William Jennings Bryan and
Adlai r. Stevenson for the Presidency
and Nice-Pre>idenrv of the United States
by the action Of 'hn Democratic. Silver
Republican :"1 r"pulist parties of the
United Stat,s.
We rejoice that the new Democracy of
LETTERS OF. and is lUselv 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-
lists fOr the division of the reform forces
into three independent organizations,
ard that unity of orga nizatan, as of pur-
pose is the deman'! 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 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
platform of the National Democratic
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 impa-

spring of the plutOcratlc policy of the
Republican party, which has increased
in bOldness and intensity since the de-
nOmetization Of silver in 1873 until now
in 1900, 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

, issues of this campaign, and that it will
| never be permanently settled until ou1
minis are opened to the free and nniimit

| of sixteen to one, regardless of the con
sent of other nations. We congratulate

adopted at Kansas City, is bread enough
for our National and State candidate.

Trnsts-We oppose the trusts and com

J. We especially denonnce the scheme {
the Republican Administration to Great
