Weed's Campaign Plan for Free Coinage and Republican Unity
Hon Elbert D Weed of Telena outlines a campaign strategy to secure free coinage in 1896. He proposes a preconvention Republican bloc of western states to demand a free coinage position, then unity in the national convention or independent action. The plan envisions electors binding or not by custom, with western states delivering balance of power and potential reshaping of the presidency through electoral and House votes.
