Chromolithograph by Louis Dalrymple, June 6, 1896. Despite the dominant press view, Marcus Hanna, the figure in green, was extremely uneasy going into the 1896 convention since he had a lot riding on it. Many believed that if McKinley failed to be nominated, it would be a great failure for not only Hanna but the Republican Party itself. Hanna was reportedly so scared that he wanted to vote on day one of the convention. | Source: Library of Congress Prints and Photographs DivisionDownload Original File
