Watt Bardin Free Silver Champion Nominated at Gallo
Special statewide convention results show Watt Bardin, champion of free, unlimited silver coinage at 16 to 1, nominated for governor. He defeated C M Clay Jr by about 17 votes, with a clear majority over all candidates. The platform endorses democracy and President Cleveland but avoids a firm stance on the single gold standard, while gold supporters face defeat yet expect a turn toward reconciliation before election.
