Topic: List of state leaders in 1896


  
  1896
The 1896 presidential election was one of the most exciting and complicated in U.S. history.
These themes--and protests against them, which were largely ignored in the press--represented the state of public opinion at the time.
The elephant, traditional symbol of the GOP ("Grand Old Party"), links to an information page on the leaders, issues, and tactics of the Republican party in the 1896 campaign.

  Federalist Party (United States) Summary
In most states the congressional elections were recognized, as Jefferson strategist John Beckley put it, as a "struggle between the Treasury department and the republican interest." In New York, the race for governor was organized along these lines.
Militia officers, state's attorneys, lawyers, professors and schoolteachers were in the van of this "conscript army." In all, about a thousand or eleven hundred dependent officer-holders were described as the inner ring which could always be depended upon for their own and enough more votes within their control to decide an election.
Those states were competitive and had the best-developed local parties and most elaborate campaign techniques, including nominating conventions and formal party platforms.

 A Centennial Historiography of Populism
In 1896 Democrats startlingly endorsed a major Populist issue, the free coinage of silver at a ratio of sixteen to one with gold (which would have reversed deflation) and nominated William Jennings Bryan, who was quite close to Populists in his native Nebraska, for president.
While the United States and the Soviet Union were allies during World War II, American Communist party ideologist Anna Rochester proclaimed Populism the earliest attempt by farmers, small producers, and the beginnings of the industrial working class to protect themselves against monopoly capitalism.
Protest leaders, she claimed, presented a counter ideology that undermined the dominant capitalist class's orthodoxy and generated a class consciousness that produced the agrarian revolt.

It is not possible to state with accuracy the total capital thus turned from its natural course into these channels, but the estimates of various experts agree pretty nearly that the total capitalization of trusts in the United States is not far from $6,000,000,000.
In the Republican States, as a rule, to which there are but few exceptions, the so-called anti-trust laws were either drawn by trust attorneys in trust offices, or else amended by the same influences in such manner as to defeat their usefulness.
And it is a highly instructive commentary on the state of morals in modern business that many of the respectable, not to say pious and philanthropic, gentlemen who have been summoned to give testimony in court and before various other tribunals regarding the operation of their trusts, have taken refuge behind this constitutional provision.

 Should There Be A Jewish State?
The idea of a Jewish state (whose Jewish proponents call themselves "Zionists") is sacrosanct in the mainstream U.S. media, which does not give voice to the troublesome questions raised by the issue, in particular that many Jews have historically opposed the idea of a Jewish state.
From its modern origin in Herzl's book, the concept of a Jewish state rests on a rejection of the democratic principle that states derive their right to rule from the assent of the people who live in them.[6] Herzl had to reject this democratic principle because Jews were not a majority in Palestine.
It must be an ethnically divisive state, a state only "of and for the Jews," a state whose "very existence" drives Arabs off the land and incites ethnic war.

 Article - Separation of Church and State
Being a minority used to being wary of the State, they too had suffered from catholic supremacy, that was still very strong during the Ordre Moral period between 1873 and 1876.
Moreover, a restricted minority was already independent from the State : the evangelical churches outside the Concordat.
In the Spring of 1895, to stand fast and get ready for the separation, an assembly of orthodox reformed Protestants suggested holding a Protestant meeting, which was to be the first general assembly of the reformed that took place in Lyon in 1896 to be followed by one in 1989.

 Silas C. Swallow: The Fighting Parson
The state treasurer's position was one of two state jobs up for election in 1897, and was one directly related to his charges of misuse of state funds.
In the 1897 state treasurer's race he carried an unprecedented ten counties, winning a total of 119,000 votes, or 16 percent of the total.
He sent party leaders a note saying that if the nomination implied a necessity of campaign travel he must refuse to accept, as his wife was quite ill. Swallow and the National Committee came to some understanding, however, and the clergyman did accept the nomination.

 Populism | Book Reviews | EH.Net   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Two websites, one devoted to Populism and the other to the famous "battle of the standards" that was the 1896 presidential election, go a long way toward aiding that leap, largely through the use of a device that itself came of age in the 1896 campaign: the political cartoon.
The 1896 website is the creation of Rebecca Edwards, an associate professor of history at Vassar College, and one of her students, Sarah DeFeo, with contributions from students in a Vassar history class.
Humorous put-downs of the opposition are a staple of every presidential campaign, and in 1896 those put-downs found their fullest expression in cartoon caricatures, such as those of McKinley campaign manager Mark Hanna in a dollar-sign suit, devilish-looking Populists holding pitchforks, and Bryan as a hot-air balloon.
