DEMOCRATIC CONVENTIONS
Copyrighted by g. NJ Adams Service
THE CoNvENTi0N OF 1898:

The 1896 democratic national conven-
ton, which gathered in Chicago on July
Z, was destined to split the party Quite
as the later 1912 convention split repub-
llcanlsm. The issue upon which the di-
vision came was the free coinage of gill
yer in the famous ratio of "16 to l.:
and the new democratic chieftain whom
the occasion made, was William Jen-
nings Bryan-then only Sc years of age
who was destined. TO dominate sub
sequent party faiths for 90 years
From the moment the. gavel first fell,
the convention fight ragged around free
silver and from first 10 last free sill

proposed Senator David B. Hill of New
York for temporary chairman. He was
promptly endorsed by a vote of 556 to
34s when the convention substituted
Senator John w. Daniel free sill
verite," from Virginia The committee
on credentials then decided all contests
in favor of the free silverites," and
thus augmented their convention con-
troll.
The resolutions committee then report
ed a straight-aWay free silver plank
which, after terrific debate, was sustain
ed by vote of 626 to Sos 1t was in
this debate that Bryah-who got into the
convention only when the credentials
committee unseated the gold delegation"
from housekeeping into whitehead
popularity and dominion with that ia
nous speech which concluded in these
burning words-"We shall answer their
demand for the, gold standard by saying
to them: you shall not press down upon
the brow Of labor this crown of thorns ;
you shall not cruelty mankind upon a
cross of gold p
The "silverites'' were now so complete

delegates realized they were helpless to

under the two-thirds rule. They did not
withdraw from the convention at the
time, but 1Ts delegates refused to vote
on the presidential roll-calls.
Richard B. Bland Of Missouri led the
first ballot with 235 to Bryan's 119 votes
