Index

^V1	In the 1900 rematch of the 1896 race McKinley again wins over Bryan with greater popular and electoral votes and a much wider gap of victory. Much of McKinley's victory is credited to the upturns in the economy and the victorious end to the Spanish-American War.
^V2	Bryan and the Democrats tried to assert the war was not over as fighting continued in the Philippines.
^V3	The Populist Party that had supported Bryan in 1896 broke away to present their own candidate, Wharton Barker.
*	The soldier vote from the Philippines overwhelmingly supported McKinley. The mention of the election in letters and diaries kept by the troop showed little support for Bryan with Private Hambleton writing, "Of course, there are some boys who think Bryan is the whole cheese but they don't say too much."
