Bryan Forces Block Bid to Reorder Nomination at Populist Convention
At St Louis on July 3 1896 the Populists nominated Watson of Georgia for vice president on the first ballot amid a split over Sewall. Bryan refused a nomination if Sewall was not paired, and leaders crafted a reversal of the nomination order. The roll call produced a 170 vote majority for the change, sealing Sewall’s defeat and prompting Bryan and Sewall to be named by the convention later.
