Two things that jump out in this one. I would like the source of William Jennings Bryan criticize McKinley for not replacing his Vice President. Because until the Twenty-Fifth Amendment (1967) there was no mechanism to fill the vacancy of the office and there had been a lot of vacancies of the office of Vice President since the Constitution was implemented, like every time a President died and the VP took over come to mind. Honestly it doesn't seem like something Bryan would say because it would make him look like a fool given over a 100 years of history. Second, Tammany Hall was a Democratic political machine not Republican. However its reputation for corruption was so bad that both Democrats (Tilden, Cleveland, FDR, Koch) and Republicans (Teddy, Dewey, Javitis) would gain national attention for opposing them thanks to the New York press.

I think that it is ironic that despite all that it took decades for that corrupt tamminy hall establishment to finally come undone. It shows that American citizens don't have nearly as much power as they'd like to believe.

"Who'd want to hurt me?" Well, Mr. McKinley, first lesson of security: assume EVERYONE is a suspect.
