Bryan weighs Populist nomination and gold plan
William J. Bryan, after Populist nomination, states his acceptance depends on attached conditions. He reiterates support for immediate gold and silver coinage at 16 to 1 and notes Sewall’s nomination absence. He condemns surrender of legislative authority and compares Populist to Chicago platforms, urging consolidation of free silver forces.
Watson or Sewall May Be Induced to Retire from the Race
In St Louis on July 2% the Populists debate the impact of nominating Bryan and Watson. Some observers expect a fusion or withdrawal of a vice presidential candidate to unite silver forces. Sewall’s withdrawal seems unlikely, but Watson may be urged to withdraw for a possible union, though this is disputed by those who favor consolidation.
