Description
Excerpt from An American Commoner; The Life and Times of Richard Parks Bland: A Study of the Last Quarter of the Nineteenth Century
Mr. Bland was with his party on every public question and was prominent in the fight within the party which resulted in the adoption of the Chicago platform. If the nomination had been given merely as a reward for public service he would have had no competitor for the honor. Whether his nomination would have brought victory to the party in 1896 is a question which can not now be determined, but certain it is that no aspirant for a public Office ever manifested less disappointment over the result or gave to his successful rival more earnest and sincere support.
