Bryan calls election a temporary defeat for silver yet a permanent gain
In the December North American Review Bryan argues the election does not settle the silver question. He calls it the greatest peace time issue and says the result was temporary defeat but permanent gain for bimetallism, with strong sentiment in the west and south and a plan to continue the fight. He cites past elections to warn of continued campaigning and notes Democrats may resist gold standard efforts in 1900.

Alliance Beaten in Elevator Case by Nebraska Alliance
The U S Supreme Court, in an opinion by Justice Gray, refused Nebraska's request against Missouri Pacific Railroad. The state sought to force the company to permit a grain elevator at Elmwood, with the state board of transportation issuing the order. The Farmers' Alliance of Elmwood argued to erect the elevator but the court held the alliance was a voluntary group not a corporation, and the action amounted to taking private property for private use without due process under the fourteenth amendment. The decision also dismissed Chicago and Northwestern Railway vs City of Chicago for lack of jurisdiction over a street crossing condemnation.
