“Wide-Open New York Welcomes Mr. Bryan”
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In mid-October, Bryan took his campaign to the key electoral state of New York. The situation in that swing state did not bode well for Democrats. Tammany Hall boss Richard Croker was at odds with state party boss David B. Hill, and Tammany Hall was receiving an avalanche of negative publicity regarding its corrupt practices. Headlines in the spring and summer of 1900 condemned the Ice Trust for gouging customers while enriching themselves. Major investors in the Ice Trust included Croker, New York Mayor Robert Van Wyck, and his brother, Augustus Van Wyck, who had lost the 1898 gubernatorial contest to Republican Theodore Roosevelt. |
