William Jennings Bryan casts a vote for the nomination of James B. Weaver, the Populist Party candidate in 1892, instead of the Democratic Party candidate, Grover Cleveland. Bryan supported the “Populist Platform ’92 – Free coinage of silver at half its commercial value, unlimited paper money for everybody, the confiscation of all railroad, telegraph and telephone lines – in short, trailing National Honor in the Mud of Repudiation” over the “Democratic Platform ’92 – Bimetallism through international agreement or by such safe guards of legislation as would ensure the parity of both Gold and Silver and preserve the National Honor.” Caption: “When the Democratic party is engaged in a struggle, as it is now, any man who deserts it in the face of the enemy will never get back unless he comes in sackcloth and ashes.” From Bryan’s speech at Petersburg, Va., 1896.
