Cross of Gold

Nebraska congressman William Jennings Bryan ran for President three times in 1896, 1900 and 1908. He came closest to winning in 1896 when he ran against and lost to Ohio Governor William McKinley. As a result Theodore Roosevelt assumed the presidency when President McKinley was assassinated.

But what if the election of 1896 had gone another way, what if Bryan had won?
