The Congressional elections of 1894 had gone Re- publican by large majorities ; and the Repub- licans were jubilant over their prospects for 1896. The Democratic Party had been cap- tured by the advocates of free silver. Cleve- land endeavored to rally the supporters of "honest money" within the Democratic ranks. "A cause worth fighting for," he said, "is worth fighting for to the end." But his efforts were futile. At the Democratic national convention which met at Chicago in June, 1896, Clevel...and's name was not [51] cheered, and his administration was not en- dorsed. Cleveland afterwards said: "Any man with even the smallest knowledge of the conditions which surrounded my second ad- ministration knows that I could not have commanded the support of half a dozen dele- gates in the whole country. The persistent misrepresentations of personal enemies, the falsehood and partisan denunciations pub- lished in the Republican press, betrayal by the advocates of free silver, and resistance to the declaration of war with Spain, had combined to make my administration one of the most unpopular in our history." There were other causes for discontent: the bond sales, the use of the Federal injunction against labor, low wages and unemploy- ment.
