We hail with satisfaction the nomina-
ton Of William Jennings Bryan and
Adlai T.. Stevenson for the Presidency
and Vicc-Presidenry Of the United States
hy the action cf tho Democratic. Silver
Republican unl Populist parties of the
United States.
We rejoice that the new Democracy of
1897, which was the old Democracy Of t
Jefferson and is closely allied in faith !
and purpose to the Republicanism of
Lincoln. has again been re-aSser;ed 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 ofpur-
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
I, 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.
