They also de- clared that John Riley Tanner 18 a typical republican Governor and that the last Legislature was a typical republican Legislature. Ths plat- form adopted reads as follows: The Democratic Editorial Associa tion of Illinois renews its devotion to the principles of the democratic party as taught by Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson and clearly de fined by the democratic national convention of 1896 and indorsed at the polls by more than 6,500,000 voters in the United States. We heartily indorse the platform ad »pted at Chicago last year, and re- iterate the declaration therein made that the money question is the para- mount question before the people; and we renew our determination to continue the fight for the free and unlimited coinage of silver and gold at the legal ratio of 16 to 1, without waiting for the consent of any other nation, and pledge to the cause our allegiance and devotion until the gold and silver coinage of the con stitution shall be restored. We send greetings to our great leader, William J. Bryan, who so fully met the responsibility of the memorable campaign of 1896, and who, though defeated, is stronger to-day in the hearts of the American people than is the victoricus oppo- nent.
