Great Moments At Conventions Recall by Clark Howell
Clark Howell recalls dramatic scenes from Democratic and Republican national conventions. He recalls 1888 Chicago where Ingersoll and Douglas stirred the crowd, McKinley’s Lincoln-like sacrifice, Cleveland and Cockran at Chicago, Bryan’s cross of gold oration, and Parker’s late platform change at St Louis. He notes Georgia’s shifting loyalties and Baltimore ahead as the next chapter.
