A high voice was an asset in those days because it carried better in long distances.

axeil posted:fiat money? well i for one am sold. If you stick with the Greenbacks the two elections after that you'll find yourself voting for Southern Confederate veterans for VP: Barzillai J. Chambers in 1880 and General Absolom M. West in 1884.

QuoProQuid posted:The Prohibition Party ran on a platform of women's suffrage, equal rights for minorities, an end to restrictions on immigration, breaking up monopolies, making the railways and telegraph a public utility, the direct election of the President and Senators, improved labor conditions, and (obviously) the prohibition of alcohol.

Oh, but there's an even better candidate for this thread in 1872 - John Quincy Adams II, fourth in the Adams dynasty. Don't break the streak!

lambeth posted:Equal Rights Party or bust, motherfuckers. Victoria Woodhull is an amazing woman and Frederick Douglas an equally fine man*. If they don't win, us suffragettes are going to burn this mother down. I actually tried looking up the results for that party and apparently they got so few votes it shows up as 0 in the most comprehensive source I can find. http://www.ourcampaigns.com/RaceDetail.html?RaceID=1964 She got less votes than no-name independents William Palmer, George W. Slocum, and James B. Weaver (though you'll be hearing from him soon.)

If it makes anyone feel better, another Adams is a rising star in the Prohibition Party and will run in 1880: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Adams_Thompson (He's not related)

In 1896, the "broad gaugers" of the Prohibition Party who wanted a full party platform split from the "narrow gaugers" who wanted a single plank endorsing Prohibition. The narrow gaugers got 10 times the vote of the broad gaugers in the election, despite being this thread's choice.

How did it come about that Butler's VP candidate is a Confederate veteran who raised a regiment to fight against the north and still today does not consider blacks equal to whites? Strange bedfellows. (The last Greenback VP candidate, Barzillai Chambers, was also a Confederate veteran.)

I actually did some research a while back on this and I don't think either major party would run a presidential or VP candidate that made their name in the South again until LBJ in 1960.

The legal successor of Simon Wing's party is a website last updated in 2011 and designed a decade before that http://www.slp.org/index.html Of course, it has been in decline ever since the filthy splitter Debs peeled off from DeLeonism.

5 times more people voted socialist labor party in this thread than attended the 1892 conventionquote:The party nominated its first candidate for President of the United States in 1892, a decision made in September of that year at a national conference of the organization held at party headquarters in New York City,[43] despite the fact that the SLP's platform called for the abolition of the offices of President and Vice President. A pro-forma nominating convention was held in New York City in August, attended by just 8 delegates, at which candidates were named and a platform approved.[44] The party's ticket, featuring Boston camera manufacturer Simon Wing and New York electrician Charles H. Matchett, appeared on the ballot in just six states and drew a total of 21,512 votes.[45]
