Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1900-10-18
DEMOCRATIC STATE PLATFORM

We hail with satisfaction the nomina-
ton of William Jennings Bryan and
Adlai +. Stevenson for the Presidency
and Vice Presidency of the United States
by the action cf the Democratic Silver
Republican .:,s, onoulist parties of the
United States.
We rejoice that the new Democracy of
Jefferson, ;iid i ioselv 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-
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
Ell 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
party. adopted at Kansas City, and pledge
! our support to all its declarations, and
! particularly those relating to the silver
aud monetary question, and also i.npe-
rialism and the trust. the natural off
spring of the plutocratic policy of the
Republican party. which has increased
in holiness 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
yer question is still one Of the important
issues of this campaign, and that it will
never be permanently settled until our
minis are opened to the free and unlimit-
ed coinage of gold and silver at the ratio
of sixteen to one, regardless of the CON
sent of other nations. We congratulate
the supporters of Bryan and Stevenson
il Nevada that they are not subjected tc
the h-'miliating necessity of abrogatine
or modifying any plank in their national
platform for the accom- Odation of thei
congressional nominee, The platform a.
adopted at Kansas City, is broad enough
for our National aud State candidates
and contains not a word the elimination
of which would d an iota of strength
to tie local nominees.
Trusts-We oppose the trusts and com
binations which control the products O
industry and levy tribute upon the PEG
pie, and we dcnOunce the Republican
PARTY which creates and fosters them
We especially denouncc the scheme O
the Republican Administration to Great
the greatest of all >mOnoplies, in delepa
ting to the national hanks the exclusiv
right to make and issue the people
( money.
Our F!ag-We condemn the cowardl
and Inconsistent course of the Republ
:! can Administration, which plants GU
I flag OF freedom, defiantly in the faces q
I those struggling fof liberty in the Phi
F: ipines, vet hauls it down from where
