The passion that attended these decisions was deeply embedded in the traditional alliances and understandings of the past, in the careers and futures of the party's most prominent leaders and most insignificant ward heelers, and in the personal relations of men who had long served together in the halls of Congress. This passion was continuously on display in the Chicago Coliseum, shaped by the rhythm of parliamentary ritual and the physical architecture of the convention hall. William Jennings Bryan anticipated the moment when pathos would be at its height and chose that moment to give his 'Cross of Gold' address, thus harnessing passion to his personal ambition and winning the presidential nomination. 517 3 $aPassion & Preferences 606 $aSilver question 607 $aUnited States$xPolitics and government$y1893-1897 615 0$aSilver question. 676 $a324.2736 700 $aBensel$b Richard Franklin$f1949-$01491664 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910784986503321 996 $aPassion and preferences$93725640 997 $aUNINA
