President William McKinley needed a new running mate for his re-election campaign in 1900 because his first vice president, Garret Hobart, had died in office. McKinley chose Theodore Roosevelt, governor of New York and hero of the Spanish-American War. The Democratic challenger William Jennings Bryan who had lost to McKinley in 1896 also chose a new running mate in 1900, Adlai Stevenson. McKinley defeated both Bryan and Eugene V. Debs who ran with Job Harriman on the Social Democratic Party ticket and finished a distant third.
Some women linked their protest in 2017 with the suffragists who had picketed the White House in 1917 and marched down Pennsylvania Avenue in 1913. This poster, which was used in the 2017 Women’s March, depicts Inez Milholland, a lawyer and suffrage speaker who rode as the herald in the 1913 parade.
William Dougal (1822–1895) of Washington, D.C. engraved this print of three fish species after original sketches by John H. Richard (c.1807–1881) of Philadelphia. The engraving was printed as Plate 19 in "Ichthyology of the Boundary” by Charles Girard (1822-1895), published in Volume 2, Part 2 of the Report on the United States and Mexican Boundary Survey. The volume was printed in 1859 by Cornelius Wendell of Washington, D.C. The fish species illustrated include: Ictiobus tumidus [Grd], Ptychostomus albidus [Grd], and Luxilus leptosomus [Grd].

William McKinley’s 1896 presidential campaign offered many items featuring a “gold bug,” the nickname for supporters of the gold standard, a key tenet of the Republican platform. Financial policy continued to be a significant issue during McKinley’s re-election campaign as reflected in this large bug pin (more than three inches in height) promoting Theodore Roosevelt, the Republican vice-presidential candidate in 1900.
McKinley needed a new running mate for his second term because his first vice president, Garret Hobart, had died in office. McKinley chose Roosevelt, governor of New York and hero of the Spanish-American War. The Democratic challenger William Jennings Bryan who had lost to McKinley in 1896 also chose a new running mate in 1900, former vice president Adlai Stevenson. McKinley defeated both Bryan and third-party candidate Eugene V. Debs who ran on the Social Democratic Party ticket with vice-presidential nominee Job Harriman.
