What role might each of the following have played in the outcome of the election of 1896?

Oh, dude, let me break it down for you. So, in the election of 1896, you had William McKinley and William Jennings Bryan battling it out. McKinley's support from big businesses and the Gold Standard backers definitely gave him an edge. Bryan's populist appeal and his "Cross of Gold" speech stirred up some excitement, but in the end, McKinley's campaign money and organization were like, "Bye, Felicia," and he won the election.
