We rejoice that the new Democracy of
1897 which was the old Democracy Of
jefferson. and is closely allied in faith
and purpose to the Republicsnism of
Lincoln, has again been re-assertei in
1900, and that it is receiving the united
support of the reform forces. We de-
clare our belief that II" reason now ex-
lists for the division Of the reform forces
into three Independent organizations,
, and that unity of Organizaiian, 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

! principles of government ard all that is
now attainable in the line of reform. and
should satisfy the reasonable excecta-
| 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
