The 1896 campaign is often considered to be a realigning election that ended the old Third Party System and began the Fourth Party System . McKinley forged a conservative coalition in which businessmen, professionals, skilled factory workers, and prosperous farmers were heavily represented. He was strongest in cities and in the Northeast , Upper Midwest , and Pacific Coast . Bryan was the nominee of the Democrats , the Populist Party , and the Silver Republicans . He presented his campaign as a crusade of the working man against the rich, who impoverished America by limiting the money supply, which was based on gold. Silver, he said, was in ample supply and if coined into money would restore prosperity while undermining the illicit power of the money trust. Bryan was strongest in the South, rural Midwest, and Rocky Mountain states. Bryan's moralistic rhetoric and crusade for inflation (to be generated by a money supply based on silver as well as gold) alienated conservatives. Turnout was very high, passing 90% of the eligible voters in many places.

Since the Panic of 1893 , the nation had been mired in a deep economic depression, marked by low prices, low profits, high unemployment, and violent strikes. Economic issues, especially tariff policy and the question of whether the gold standard should be preserved for the money supply, were central issues. Republican campaign manager Mark Hanna pioneered many modern campaign techniques, facilitated by a $3.5 million budget. He outspent Bryan by a factor of five. The Democratic Party's repudiation of its economically conservative Bourbon faction, represented by incumbent President Grover Cleveland , largely gave Bryan and his supporters control of the Democratic Party until the 1920s, and set the stage for Republican domination of the Fourth Party System and control of the White House for 28 of the next 36 years, interrupted only by the two terms of Democrat Woodrow Wilson .

Miner County is a county located in the U.S. state of South Dakota .  Its county seat is Howard . The county was created in 1873 and organized in 1880.

The area is situated on the site of Dakota Sioux trails that connected two sites of cultural significance to the Dakota people, the pipestone quarries in southwestern Minnesota and the Sioux Crossing of the Three Rivers , near present-day Fort Thompson . South Dakota Highway 34 now roughly follows this route.

The Fort Ridgely and South Pass Wagon Road , also known as Nobles Trail, was the first road in Dakota Territory and passed through the area. It was built in 1857, connecting Fort Ridgley, Minnesota with South Pass in Wyoming Territory , along the Oregon Trail . The Minnesota and Powder River Road of 1865 also passed through the county.

The boundaries of present-day Miner County experienced several changes during territorial times. The county was originally established in 1873 by the South Dakota Territorial Legislature when Hanson County was divided into several parts. It was named after Ephriam Miner, a territorial legislator, and Nelson Miner , a territorial legislator and captain in the 1st Dakota Cavalry . At the time, Miner County spanned the southern half of present-day Miner and Sanborn counties; Bramble County (now extinct) spanned the northern portion of these counties. In 1879 the legislature combined Miner, Bramble, and portions of Wetmore counties and eliminated the latter two. The new Miner County was organized the following year with Forestburg named the capitol. In 1883 the county was divided, with the western portion being renamed Sanborn County and the eastern portion retaining the name Miner County. Howard was named the county seat of Miner County.

In 1881 the Milwaukee Road railroad opened tracks in Miner County that followed Fort Ridgely Road from east to west, connecting Madison to Woonsocket . The Chicago and North Western railroad opened tracks from Hawarden, Iowa , to Iroquois , crossing northwest across the county in 1882. Both of these railroads have since abandoned their tracks in the county. The first homesteader in Miner County was Matthew A. Moore, in 1878. Significant homesteading started in 1879 and concluded in 1884, when all available government land had been claimed. Settlers were primarily Norwegian , German , Danish , Welsh , Irish and Swedish .

Location of Miner County in the U.S. state of South Dakota

Howard is a city in Miner County , South Dakota , United States . It is the county seat and most populous city in Miner County . The first pioneer settlement at Howard was made in 1879, however the town of Howard was established in 1882, shortly after the Southern Minnesota Railway was extended to that point. The city was named for Howard Farmer, a pioneer settler. In 1883, when Miner and Sanborn counties were organized, the town was named the county seat of Miner County.
