Silver Party
The Silver Party was a political party in the United States active from 1892 until 1911 and most successful in Nevada which supported a platform of bimetallism and free silver.
In 1892, several Silver Party candidates were elected to Nevada public offices. The party's success continued throughout the decade, culminating in the election of Governors John E. Jones and Reinhold Sadler. Nevada was the only state to elect both Senators and Congressional representatives from the Silver Party.
Nationally, the Silver Party aligned with the Populist Party and to a lesser extent with the Silver Republican Party. However, the 1896 Democratic Party presidential nomination of free silver advocate William Jennings Bryan moved many Silver Party members towards the Democrats. By 1902, most pro-silver factions in Nevada had been absorbed by the state Democratic Party organization.
