Grover Cleveland, the former president, did not secure the Democratic Party's nomination in 1896 primarily due to his controversial stance on the gold standard, which conflicted with the rising populist sentiments favoring bimetallism. The party ultimately nominated William Jennings Bryan, who advocated for the free coinage of silver, appealing to farmers and working-class voters. Cleveland's political influence had waned by this time, as many Democrats sought a new direction that aligned more closely with the economic issues facing the country. His absence from the nomination highlighted the shifting priorities within the party during a period of economic turmoil.
