Caucus of Gold Men in Chicago Congress on Silver Delegates
In Chicago on July 6 the gold state delegates met for a second time with larger attendance. Talks centered on avoiding abrogation of the two thirds rule and on the risk silver plans pose to gold delegates. Michigan’s delegation shift could swing votes, and plans to unseat gold delegates were discussed, met with strong opposition. The Arkansas national party split endorsed Bentley for president, nominated a governor candidate J W Miller, and backed a 16 to 1 silver coinage ratio in a platform.
