3 Why did William McKinley win the election of 1896?
Every election has a lot to do with the political and economical situation of the country during and long before the election itself. Every event that happened before was to become a make-way. The Election of 1896 was the first modern and also the most complicated election in History. The fight was between William McKinley and William Jennings Bryan. There are many aspects that led William McKinley won the election despite he was supporting gold standard dislike Bryan supporting bimetallism.
William McKinley was from Ohio States. With the help of Rutherford B. Hayes, McKinley was elected as a Republican to the United States 3_Why_did_William_McKinley_win_the_election_of_1896of Representative and during 1877 to 1882. He was re-elected in 1885 for second term from 1885 to 1891. After leaving Congress, McKinley ran for Governor of Ohio where he got victory against Democrat James E. Campbell. He was reelected in 1883 over Lawrence T. Neal. As governor, he imposed an excise tax on corporation, secured safety legislation for transportation workers and restricted anti-union practices of employers. Governor McKinley left office in early 1896 and, at the instigation of his friend Marcus Hanna began actively campaigning for the Republican Party's presidential nomination. McKinley's well-known expertise on the tariff issue, successful record as governor, and genial personality appealed to many Republican voters. After winning the nomination, he went home and conducted his famous "front porch campaign." His opponent was William Jennigns Bryan, who was 41st United States Secretary of State under Woodrow Wilson Presidency. He was nominated for presidential election. Contrary McKinley's Gold Standard, he supported only issue of "free silver" and money. McKinley was against silver because it was a debased currency and overseas markets used gold, so it would harm foreign trade. McKinley promised that he would promote industry and 3_Why_did_William_McKinley_win_the_election_of_1896and guarantee prosperity for every group in a pluralistic nation. A Democratic cartoon ridiculed the promise, saying it would rock the boat. McKinley replied that the protective tariff would bring prosperity to all groups, city and country alike, while Bryan's free silver would create inflation but no new jobs, would bankrupt railroads, and would permanently damage the economy. Bryan was known as very charismatic, emotional, conservative; due to his ethics and religious factors he lost a lot of votes from farmers from urban areas and ethnic groups. McKinley was able to succeed in getting votes from the urban areas and ethnic labor groups. Due to listed reasons above, McKinley was able to defeat Bryan by a large margin.
In summary, there were various reasons that lead to McKinley victory against the William Jennings Bryan. Strong background, supporting gold standard during inflation in economy, getting urban, religious and ethnic groups' votes are some aspect that Bryan was missing during 1896 election.

EXECUTIVE MANSION, WASHINGTON, (edited version)
December 21, 1898..
With the treaty of peace between the United States and Spain the future control and government of the Philippine Islands are ceded to the United States. The military government heretofore maintained by the United States in the city of Manila is to be extended with all possible dispatch to the whole of the ceded territory.
In performing this duty the military commander of the United States is enjoined to make known to the inhabitants of the Philippine Islands that the authority of the United States is to be exerted for the securing of the persons and property of the people of the islands and for the confirmation of all their private rights and relations. It will be the duty of the commander of the forces of occupation to announce and proclaim in the most public manner that we come, not as invaders or conquerors, but as friends, to protect the natives in their homes, in their employments, and in their personal and religious rights. All persons who, either by active aid or by honest submission, co-operate with the Government of the United States to give effect to these beneficent purposes will receive the reward of its support and protection. All others will be brought within the lawful rule we have assumed, with firmness if need be, but without severity, so far as possible. Within the absolute domain of military authority, which necessarily is and must remain supreme in the ceded territory until the legislation of the United States shall otherwise provide, the municipal laws of the territory in respect to private rights and property and the repression of crime are to be considered as continuing in force, and to be administered by the ordinary tribunals, so far as practicable. The operations of civil and municipal government are to be performed by such officers as may accept the supremacy of the United States by taking the oath of allegiance, or by officers chosen, as far as practicable, from the inhabitants of the islands. It should be the earnest wish and paramount aim of the military administration to win the confidence, respect, and affection of the inhabitants of the Philippines by assuring them in every possible way that full measure of individual rights and liberties which is the heritage of free peoples, and by proving to them that the mission of the United States is one of BENEVOLENT ASSIMILATION
substituting the mild sway of justice and right for arbitrary rule. In the fulfillment of this high mission, supporting the temperate administration of affairs for the greatest good of the governed, there must be sedulously maintained the strong arm of authority, to repress disturbance and to overcome all obstacles to the bestowal of the blessings of good and stable government upon the people of the Philippine Islands under the free flag of the United States.
