DEMOCRATIC STATE PLATFORM

We hail with satisfaction the nomina-
ton of William Jennings BRYAN and
Adlai F. Stevenson for the Presidency
and Nice-Presidenrv OF the United States
Nv the action Of the Democratic. Silver
Republican, and Populist parties of the
United Stat.
We rejoice that the new Democracy of
1897, which was the old Democracy of
jefferson ard * ,nselv 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,
and that 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
| 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
| 'NhoSAsh1p'
