presidential election of 1900  

Definition

  • AS THE NATION calmed after the electrifying election of 1896, known as the Battle of the Standards (over the currency issue), Americans began to enjoy prosperity again, and it seemed that William McKinley and the Republicans delivered on their promise of a “full dinner pail” for all. At first glance, it appeared that Democratic loser William Jennings Bryan's political career had ended at age 37.
