The 1896 campaign, which took place during an economic depression known as the <a href="/wiki/Panic_of_1893" title="Panic of 1893">Panic of 1893</a>, was a <a href="/wiki/Political_realignment" title="Political realignment">political realignment</a> that ended the old <a href="/wiki/Third_Party_System" title="Third Party System">Third Party System</a> and began the <a href="/wiki/Fourth_Party_System" title="Fourth Party System">Fourth Party System</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Incumbent Democratic President <a href="/wiki/Grover_Cleveland" title="Grover Cleveland">Grover Cleveland</a> did not seek election to a second consecutive term (which would have been his third overall), leaving the Democratic nomination open. An attorney and former congressman, Bryan galvanized support with his <a href="/wiki/Cross_of_Gold_speech" title="Cross of Gold speech">Cross of Gold speech</a>, which called for reform of the monetary system and attacked business leaders as the cause of ongoing economic depression. The <a href="/wiki/1896_Democratic_National_Convention" title="1896 Democratic National Convention">1896 Democratic National Convention</a> repudiated the Cleveland administration and nominated Bryan on the fifth presidential ballot. Bryan then won the nomination of the <a href="/wiki/People%27s_Party_(United_States)" title="People's Party (United States)">Populist Party</a>, which had won several states in <a href="/wiki/1892_United_States_presidential_election" title="1892 United States presidential election">1892</a> and shared many of Bryan's policies. In opposition to Bryan, some conservative <a href="/wiki/Bourbon_Democrat" title="Bourbon Democrat">Bourbon Democrats</a> formed the <a href="/wiki/National_Democratic_Party_(United_States)" title="National Democratic Party (United States)">National Democratic Party</a> and nominated Senator <a href="/wiki/John_M._Palmer_(politician)" class="mw-redirect" title="John M. Palmer (politician)">John M. Palmer</a>. McKinley prevailed by a wide margin on the first ballot at the <a href="/wiki/1896_Republican_National_Convention" title="1896 Republican National Convention">1896 Republican National Convention</a>. </p><p>Since the onset of the Panic of 1893, the nation had been mired in a deep economic depression, marked by low prices, low profits, high unemployment, and violent strikes. Economic issues, especially <a href="/wiki/Tariffs_in_United_States_history" class="mw-redirect" title="Tariffs in United States history">tariff</a> policy and the question of whether the <a href="/wiki/Gold_standard" title="Gold standard">gold standard</a> should be preserved for the <a href="/wiki/Money_supply" title="Money supply">money supply</a>, were central issues. McKinley forged a conservative coalition in which businessmen, professionals, prosperous farmers, and skilled factory workers turned off by Bryan's <a href="/wiki/Agriculture" title="Agriculture">agrarian</a> policies were heavily represented. He was strongest in cities and in the <a href="/wiki/Northeastern_United_States" title="Northeastern United States">Northeast</a>, <a href="/wiki/Upper_Midwest" title="Upper Midwest">Upper Midwest</a>, and <a href="/wiki/West_Coast_of_the_United_States" title="West Coast of the United States">Pacific Coast</a>. Republican campaign manager <a href="/wiki/Mark_Hanna" title="Mark Hanna">Mark Hanna</a> pioneered many modern campaign techniques, facilitated by a $3.5 million budget. Bryan presented his campaign as a crusade of the working man against the rich, who impoverished America by limiting the money supply. He said that silver was in ample supply and if coined into money would restore prosperity while undermining the illicit power of the money trust. Bryan was strongest in the <a href="/wiki/Southern_United_States" title="Southern United States">South</a>, rural <a href="/wiki/Midwest" class="mw-redirect" title="Midwest">Midwest</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Rocky_Mountain_states" class="mw-redirect" title="Rocky Mountain states">Rocky Mountain states</a>. His moralistic rhetoric and crusade for inflation (to be generated by the institution of <a href="/wiki/Bimetallism" title="Bimetallism">bimetallism</a>) alienated conservatives. </p><p>Bryan campaigned vigorously throughout the <a href="/wiki/Swing_states" class="mw-redirect" title="Swing states">swing states</a> of the Midwest, while McKinley conducted a <a href="/wiki/Front_porch_campaign" title="Front porch campaign">front porch campaign</a>. At the end of an intensely heated contest, McKinley won a majority of the popular and <a href="/wiki/Electoral_College_(United_States)" class="mw-redirect" title="Electoral College (United States)">electoral vote</a>. Bryan won 46.7% of the popular vote and Palmer just under 1%. Turnout was very high, passing 90% of the eligible voters in many places.

Most of the Southern and Western delegates were committed to implementing the Populist Party's "free silver" ideas. The convention repudiated Cleveland's gold standard policies and Cleveland himself. This left the convention wide open: there was no obvious successor to Cleveland. A two-thirds vote was required for the nomination and the silverites had it in spite of the extreme regional polarization of the delegates. In a test vote on an anti-silver measure, the Eastern states (from Maryland to Maine), with 28% of the delegates, voted 96% in favor. The other delegates voted 91% against, so the silverites could count on a majority of 67% of the delegates.<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The attorney, former congressman, and unsuccessful Senate candidate <a href="/wiki/William_Jennings_Bryan" title="William Jennings Bryan">William Jennings Bryan</a> filled the void. A superb orator, Bryan hailed from Nebraska and spoke for farmers suffering from the <a href="/wiki/Economic_depression" title="Economic depression">economic depression</a> following the <a href="/wiki/Panic_of_1893" title="Panic of 1893">Panic of 1893</a>. At the convention, he gave what has been considered one of the greatest political speeches in American history, the <a href="/wiki/Cross_of_gold_speech" class="mw-redirect" title="Cross of gold speech">"Cross of Gold" Speech</a>. Bryan presented a passionate defense of farmers and factory workers struggling to survive the economic depression, and attacked big-city business owners and leaders as the cause of much of their suffering. He called for reform of the monetary system, an end to the gold standard, and government relief efforts for farmers and others hurt by the depression. Bryan's speech was so dramatic that many delegates carried him on their shoulders around the convention hall afterward. </p><p>The next day, eight names were placed in nomination: <a href="/wiki/Richard_P._Bland" title="Richard P.

Despite a strong initial showing by Bland, who led on the first three ballots, Bryan's speech helped him gain the momentum required to win the nomination, which he did on the fifth ballot, after most of the other candidates withdrew in his favor. </p><p>After Bland's defeat, his supporters attempted to nominate him as Bryan's running mate, but Bland was more interested in winning back his former seat in the House of Representatives, and so withdrew his name from consideration despite leading the early rounds of voting. <a href="/wiki/Arthur_Sewall" title="Arthur Sewall">Arthur Sewall</a>, a wealthy shipbuilder from Maine, was eventually chosen as the vice-presidential nominee. It was felt that Sewall's wealth might encourage him to help pay some campaign expenses. At just 36, Bryan was only a year older than required by the Constitution to be president. He remains the youngest person ever nominated for president by a major party. </p> <table class="wikitable collapsible collapsed"> <tbody><tr> <td style="text-align:center" colspan="7"><b>Presidential Nominating Ballots (1 Thru 5)</b> </td> <td style="text-align:center" colspan="7"><b>Vice-Presidential Nominating Ballots (1 Thru 5)</b> </td></tr> <tr> <th></th> <th>1st</th> <th>2nd</th> <th>3rd</th> <th>4th</th> <th>5th</th> <th>Unanimous</th> <th></th> <th>1st</th> <th>2nd</th> <th>3rd</th> <th>4th</th> <th>5th</th> <th>Unanimous </th></tr> <tr> <th><a href="/wiki/William_Jennings_Bryan" title="William Jennings Bryan">William J.

After a majority of 188 brought the report forward, "Narrow-Gaugers" campaigned among wavering delegates of the Northeast and Midwest to convince them of the electoral consequences should it be adopted: that Party gains in states like New York would reverse overnight in the face of free coinage and populism. When St. John's report was brought up to a formal vote the margins had largely reversed; it was rejected, 492 to 310. With the silver delegates still in shock and St. John attempting to move for a reconsideration, Illinois "Narrow-Gaugers" moved to offer as a substitute to both the minority and majority reports a single-plank platform centered on Prohibition.

When it came to the nomination for president, many "Broad-Gaugers" were already openly considering bolting and running their own candidate as it became increasingly apparent that the "Narrow-Gaugers" had brought a majority of the convention under their influence. Formal action was deferred until after the nomination for president was made.

Formed in 1892, the Populists represented the philosophy of <a href="/wiki/Agrarianism" title="Agrarianism">agrarianism</a> (derived from <a href="/wiki/Jeffersonian_democracy" title="Jeffersonian democracy">Jeffersonian democracy</a>), which held that farming was a superior way of life that was being exploited by bankers and middlemen. The Populists attracted cotton farmers in the South and wheat farmers in the West, but significantly few farmers in the Northeast and rural Midwest. In the presidential election of 1892, Populist candidate <a href="/wiki/James_B._Weaver" title="James B. Weaver">James B. Weaver</a> carried four states, and in 1894, the Populists scored victories in congressional and state legislature races in a number of Southern and Western states. In the Southern states, including Alabama, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Texas, the wins were obtained by <a href="/wiki/Electoral_fusion" class="mw-redirect" title="Electoral fusion">electoral fusion</a> with the Republicans against the dominant Bourbon Democrats, whereas in the rest of the country, fusion, if practiced, was typically undertaken with the Democrats, as in the state of Washington.<sup id="cite_ref-12" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-12"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>12<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-13" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-13"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>13<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> By 1896, some Populists believed that they could replace the Democrats as the main opposition party to the Republicans. However, the Democrats' nomination of Bryan, who supported many Populist goals and ideas, placed the party in a dilemma. Torn between choosing their own presidential candidate or supporting Bryan, the party leadership decided that nominating their own candidate would simply divide the forces of reform and hand the election to the more conservative Republicans. At their national convention in 1896, the Populists chose Bryan as their presidential nominee. However, to demonstrate that they were still independent from the Democrats, the Populists also chose former Georgia Representative <a href="/wiki/Thomas_E._Watson" title="Thomas E. Watson">Thomas E. Watson</a> as their vice-presidential candidate instead of Arthur Sewall. Bryan eagerly accepted the Populist nomination, but was vague as to whether, if elected, he would choose Watson as his vice-president instead of Sewall. With this election, the Populists began to be absorbed into the Democratic Party; within a few elections the party would disappear completely. The 1896 election was particularly detrimental to the Populist Party in the South; the party divided itself between members who favored cooperation with the Democrats to achieve reform at the national level and members who favored cooperation with the Republicans to achieve reform at a state level. </p><p>Bryan's Democratic and Populist supporters organized joint "fusion" tickets in several states with pledged electors drawn from both parties. The <i>New York Times</i> counted seventy-one Populist and six Silver Republican electoral candidates pledged to Bryan. In ten states where the fusion ticket was successful, twenty-seven electors voted for Bryan for president and Watson for vice president. (The remainder of Bryan's 176 electors, including the Populist and Silver Republican electors from Colorado and Idaho, voted for Sewall.)<sup id="cite_ref-14" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-14"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>14<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <table class="wikitable" style="text-align:center"> <tbody><tr> <th colspan="2"><b>Presidential Ballot</b></th> <th colspan="2"><b>Vice Presidential Ballot</b> </th></tr> <tr> <th><a href="/wiki/William_Jennings_Bryan" title="William Jennings Bryan">William Jennings Bryan</a></th> <th>1,042</th> <th><a href="/wiki/Thomas_E._Watson" title="Thomas E.

Near the beginning of that year, U.S. senators from silver-producing states (Colorado, Idaho, Nevada, and Montana) began objecting to President <a href="/wiki/Benjamin_Harrison" title="Benjamin Harrison">Benjamin Harrison's</a> economic policies and advocated the free coinage of silver. Senator <a href="/wiki/Henry_M._Teller" title="Henry M. Teller">Henry Teller</a> notified the Senate that if the two major parties did not back down on their financial policies, the four western states would back a third party. The <i>Portland Morning Oregonian</i> reported on June 27, 1892, that a Silver Party was being organized along those lines. </p><p>Nevada silverites called a state convention to be held on June 5, 1892, just days following the close of the Democratic National Convention. The convention noted that neither the Republicans or Democrats addressed the silver concerns of western states and officially organized the "Silver Party of Nevada." Proceeding by itself, the Silver Party swept the state in 1892; <a href="/wiki/James_B._Weaver" title="James B. Weaver">James Weaver</a>, the <a href="/wiki/People%27s_Party_(United_States)" title="People's Party (United States)">People's Party</a> nominee for president running on the Silver ticket, won 66.8% of the vote. <a href="/wiki/Francis_G._Newlands" title="Francis G. Newlands">Francis Newlands</a> was elected to the U.S. House with 72.5% of the vote. The Silverites took control of the legislature, assuring the election of <a href="/wiki/William_Morris_Stewart" class="mw-redirect" title="William Morris Stewart">William Stewart</a> to the U.S. Senate. </p><p>The success of the Nevada silverites spurred their brethren in Colorado to action; the Colorado Silver Party never materialized, however. </p><p>In the 1894 midterm elections, the Silver Party remained a Nevada party. It swept all statewide offices, formerly held by Republicans. <a href="/wiki/John_Edward_Jones_(governor)" title="John Edward Jones (governor)">John Edward Jones</a> was elected Governor with 50% of the vote; Newlands was re-elected with 44%. </p><p>Following the Democratic Party debacle in 1894, James Weaver began agitating for the creation of a nationwide Silver Party. He altered the People's Party platform from 1892 and eliminated planks he felt would be divisive for a larger party and began to lobby silver men around the nation. The first major statement by the national Silver Party was an address delivered to the American Bimetallic League, printed in the Emporia Daily Gazette on March 6, 1895. Letterhead for the nascent party promoted U.S. Representative <a href="/wiki/Joseph_C._Sibley" title="Joseph C. Sibley">Joseph Sibley</a> of Pennsylvania for president, noting that his endorsement by the Prohibitionists would secure that party's support. </p><p>Silver leaders met in Washington DC on January 22 to discuss holding a national convention. They decided to wait until after the conventions of the two major parties in case one of them agreed to the 16:1 coinage demands. Just a few days later, however, party regulars convinced the leaders to change course. On January 29, the leaders issued a call for a national convention to be held in St. Louis on July 22. J.J. Mott, the Silver Party National Chairman, went to great lengths to organize state parties, but his efforts did not produce dramatic results. The Silver State convention in Ohio was attended by just 20 people, even though the president of the Bimetallic League, A.J. Warner, lived there. </p><p>Although most Silverites had been pushing the nomination of Senator Teller, the situation changed with the Democratic nomination of William Jennings Bryan. Congressman Newlands was in Chicago as the official Silver Party visitor, and he announced on July 10 that the Silver Party should endorse the Democratic ticket. Chairman Mott, who was in St. Louis making final arrangements for the Silver National Convention, told a reporter five days later "All the Silver Party wants is silver, and the Democratic platform will give us that." I.B. Stevens, a member of the executive committee, told a reporter that the Silver Party "will bring to the support of [Bryan] hundreds of thousands who do not wish to vote a Democratic ticket." </p><p>On July 25, both Bryan and <a href="/wiki/Arthur_Sewall" title="Arthur Sewall">Arthur Sewall</a> would be nominated by acclamation. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="National_Democratic_Party_nomination">National Democratic Party nomination</h4><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=1896_United_States_presidential_election&action=edit&section=14" title="Edit section: National Democratic Party nomination"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <table class="wikitable" style="font-size:90%; text-align:center;"> <tbody><tr> <td style="background:#f1f1f1;" colspan="30"><big><b>1896 National Democratic Party ticket</b></big> </td></tr> <tr> <th style="width:3em; font-size:135%; background:#FFD700; width:200px;"><a href="/wiki/John_M._Palmer_(politician)" class="mw-redirect" title="John M.

He traveled 18,000 miles by train and made around 600 speeches across the country. He often displayed religious imagery at the site of his speeches. The content of his speeches revolved around progressive policies such as the free coinage of silver and progressive tax reform that appealed to lower-class Americans.

It told urban workers that their return to prosperity was possible only if the farmers prospered first.

Bryan's campaign was influential because of the populist messaging that Bryan presented in his speeches nationwide. Even though Bryan did not have the same amount of campaign funds as McKinley, his messaging was impactful enough to earn a significant electoral vote, and he only needed a few more states to win the election. McKinley's campaign was influential because of how he earned and used his campaign funds to undermine Bryan's campaign. The front porch strategy was an excellent success for McKinley as he earned massive amounts of campaign funds from donors. Additionally, the way McKinley used the funds to attack Bryan's campaign produced the intended effect of Americans viewing Bryan as a religious fanatic whose policies threatened to ruin the economy. The outcome of the 1896 election shifted party coalitions as Republicans maintained strong relationships with businesses, professionals, skilled workers, and wealthy farmers. Unfortunately for Democrats, they were not able to produce a coalition of lower-class farmers, unskilled laborers, and white southerners.<sup id="cite_ref-:1_23-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:1-23"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>23<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="The_fall_campaign">The fall campaign</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=1896_United_States_presidential_election&action=edit&section=22" title="Edit section: The fall campaign"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:William-Jennings-Bryan-speaking-c1896.jpeg" class="mw-file-description"><img alt="Three-quarters standing portrait of Bryan in a dark suit and white tie, with hands clasped before him, and with a serious and commanding expression" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/04/William-Jennings-Bryan-speaking-c1896.jpeg/170px-William-Jennings-Bryan-speaking-c1896.jpeg" decoding="async" width="170" height="251" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/04/William-Jennings-Bryan-speaking-c1896.jpeg/255px-William-Jennings-Bryan-speaking-c1896.jpeg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/04/William-Jennings-Bryan-speaking-c1896.jpeg/340px-William-Jennings-Bryan-speaking-c1896.jpeg 2x" data-file-width="1931" data-file-height="2854" /></a><figcaption>Bryan's imposing voice and height made a deep impression on many who thronged to hear him.</figcaption></figure> <p>Throughout the campaign the South and Mountain states appeared certain to vote for Bryan, whereas the East was certain for McKinley.

His fiery crusading rhetoric to huge audiences would make his campaign a newsworthy story that the hostile press would have to cover, and he could speak to the voters directly instead of through editorials. He was the first presidential candidate since Stephen Douglas in 1860 to canvass directly, and the first ever to criss-cross the nation and meet voters in person. </p><p>The novelty of seeing a visiting presidential candidate, combined with Bryan's spellbinding oratory and the passion of his believers, generated huge crowds.

Bryan focused his efforts on the Midwest, which everyone agreed would be the decisive battleground in the election. In just 100 days, Bryan gave over 500 speeches to several million people.

His well-organized staff prepared both the remarks of the visiting delegations and the candidate's responses, focusing the comments on the assigned topic of the day. The remarks were issued to the newsmen and telegraphed nationwide to appear in the next day's papers. Bryan, with practically no staff, gave much the same talk over and over again. McKinley labeled Bryan's proposed social and economic reforms as a serious threat to the national economy. With the depression following the Panic of 1893 coming to an end, support for McKinley's more conservative economic policies increased, while Bryan's more radical policies began to lose support among Midwestern farmers and factory workers. </p><p>To ensure victory, Hanna paid large numbers of Republican orators (including <a href="/wiki/Theodore_Roosevelt" title="Theodore Roosevelt">Theodore Roosevelt</a>) to travel around the nation denouncing Bryan as a dangerous radical. There were also reports that some potentially Democratic voters were intimidated into voting for McKinley. For example, some factory owners posted signs the day before the election announcing that, if Bryan won the election, the factory would be closed and the workers would lose their jobs. </p><p>Bryan's midsummer surge in the Midwest played out as the intense Republican counter-crusade proved effective. Bryan spent most of October in the Midwest, making 160 of his final 250 speeches there.

Sectionalism was thus marked in this first election of the <a href="/wiki/Fourth_Party_System" title="Fourth Party System">Fourth Party System</a>. This was the last election in which the Democrats won South Dakota until 1932, the last in which the Democrats won Utah and Washington until 1916, and the last in which the Democrats won Kansas and Wyoming until 1912. It was also the last time that South Dakota and Washington voted against the Republicans until they voted for the Progressive Party in 1912. This also constitutes the only election since their statehoods when a Republican won the presidency without winning Kansas, South Dakota, Utah, or Wyoming.
