Bryan-Silver fusion plan floated by Senator Jones
St Louis July 20 The plan, backed by Senator Jones of Arkansas as head of the Democratic committee, offers one member from each party on the Democratic national executive committee in exchange for Populist and silver Republican support. Populists would control nominations in states where they outrun Democrats, while elsewhere a bargain would push free silver Democrats into Congress. Jones argues Bryan’s non nomination could split Populists, especially in the West, if they abandon the ticket.
