Democrats split in Massachusetts convention crisis
In Boston and music hall on September 26 chaos erupted as silver delegates seized control while gold delegates pressed for admission. A death occurred when James Hughes, a Somerville delegate, died after an attempt to escape halted by a live wire. The convention factions soon organized separate gatherings, with George Fred Williams nominated for governor at music hall and later at Fanueil Hall. The state party endorsed Bryan and Sewall while gold delegates withdrew in protest.
