 Alton B. Parker - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Parker was supported by conservative pro-Gold Standard Democrats like former President Grover Cleveland who had been alienated from the party in 1896 and 1900 due to the perceived radicalism of the party's nominee William Jennings Bryan on economic issues.
It was hoped that Parker could be acceptable to both factions since he was "sound" on economic issues but had supported Bryan in 1896 as a good party man. These hopes were frustrated however as Parker had little appeal to Bryanites and carried only the Solid South.
Parker was unable to return to his former judicial position and practiced law for the rest of his life.
