 1896: The Republican Party
Republicans framed their attacks in terms of gender roles, for example when Andrew White dismissed Bryan supporters as "unbalanced men and hysterical women." Many Republicans claimed that free-silver men and women had the roles backwards: men were weak and effeminate, while women were aggressive and "unsexed."
Republicans often accused these opponents of seeking tyrannical state power, while claiming in the next breath that they were anarchists--basing most of their assertions on the so-called "anarchy plank" in the Silver Democrats' platform.
Republicans stressed maintainance of the gold standard and of high protective tariffs that would protect American jobs and wages.

 JS Online: Both parties' conventions awash with record cash donations
Washington - Private donors are pouring more than $103.5 million into the Democratic and Republican national conventions this summer, nearly double the amount raised for the conventions four years ago and 12 times what was raised in 1992, according to a non-partisan research group.
The study shows that the New York City Host Committee is collecting at least $64 million in unrestricted cash from private donors for the Republican National Convention, and that in 1992 the comparable figure was $2.2 million.
Once financed by local companies, labor unions and individuals, the conventions are now a magnet for major corporations and other large donors from across the nation that are capable of contributing millions, the report says.
