1 янв 1896 г. - 1896: Williams Jennings Brian wins Democratic vote for election

Описание:

William J Bryan was the Democratic vote in the Election of 1896. At the 1896 convention the self assured Bryan delivered a speech that has some 20,000 delegates on their feet and in many in tears. He spoke for silver and the New West, for the “hardy pioneers” and against the “financial magnates” of the Urban East as well as Cleveland’s “do-nothing” response to the depression. During the election Bryan crisscrossed the country gaining support from farmers, workers, and small-business owners. In the end McKinley won the popular vote and the Electoral college vote by 271 to 176.
