   >A man in the crowd named Leon Czolgosz hoped to assassinate McKinley. He had managed to get close to the presidential podium, but did not fire, uncertain of hitting his target.[202] After hearing a speech by anarchist Emma Goldman in Cleveland, Czolgosz had decided to take action that he believed would advance the cause.
   
   I never knew about this. I don't know what I expected. Emma Goldman, eh? Fancy that

     ***Goldman**** ????
     And this person, you say, this "Goldman", was behind the assassination of a US president? Well, blow me down.

     Just to get things absolutely clear here. There was a US president (McKinley), and he was cruelly shot down in cold blood by a man who says he was inspired by the words of, one, "Goldman" ? Rather fascinating

     @lain @augustus @dave On a serious note, most mid-west and southern states thought William Jennings Bryan was going to win in a landside in 1896. I'm surprised the election hasn't been subject to populist-conspiracy theory re-examination. Instead McKinley took the landside, despite all the vocal and apparent popular support Bryan had.
