Michigan Democrats Endorse Bryan Without Free Coinage Promise
The Michigan state convention endorsed Colonel Bryan while evading a direct commitment to free coinage. It spoke of a historic union of gold and silver as primary metals, mirroring 1892 and 1896 platforms, and left unclear whether it supports a 16 to 1 silver to gold ratio. A Chicago meeting reportedly placed Charlie Towne on Bryan’s ticket, a move seen as aligning Democrats, populists, and Lincoln Republicans, despite rank and file views.
