Three days. It's late, so description and pictures to come. The general idea is that in an epic four (to five even?) way election, President Weaver is attempting to win a second term. Populists back fiat money, Democrats back silver, the other two gold. Tariff positions should be obvious given the parties and ideologies.


President James B. Weaver (P-IA)/Former Congressman Thomas E. Watson (P-GA)


Former Governor William McKinley (R-OH)/Senator William B. Allison (R-IA)


Senator William Jennings Bryan (D-NE)/Mr. Arthur Sewall (D-ME)


Senator William Freeman Vilas (GD-WI)/Former President S. Grover Cleveland (GD-NY)


Mr. Joshua Levering (P-KY)/Former Mayor Hale Johnson (P-IL)

Also why in the world would a 3-term President want to become Vice-President?

Get some fresh blood into the office while still having a capable statesman to fill in if something unfortunate should happen.

Vilas/Cleveland with enthusiasm.

The only one to file a request for VP in the form of a post in the Gold Democrat thread was SJoyce, who wanted Cleveland. That was the only vote for VP I knew about, thus the convention nominated Cleveland.

It is a strong ticket, I just don't see Cleveland wanting the job. Do you think FDR would have wanted to become Vice-President in 1944?

This should be a close election, but I have a feeling that Vilas and McKinley will split vote on the right.

You have to remember that Cleveland has won no race after 1884. He's been out of office for eight years or so by now and this is his last race.

We must support the President.

Also, I'm pleasantly surprised Bryan hasn't caused vote splitting... for now.

I still don't understand why so many of you (on both sides) have such a hard-on for Vilas.

Allright it's time for use conservatives to throw our support behind villas. McKinley is the best choice obviously but we must beat weaver and the only candidate tha has a chance is vilas.

So vote Vilas.
