United States.
We rejoice that the new Democracy of

Jefferson, AID is closely allied in faith
Lincoln. has again been re-assertea 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 Onr traditional
principles Of government and all that is
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
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.
