Pinback button promoting Joseph Sibley for president, 1896.
Pennsylvania Congressman Joseph Sibley broke with President Cleveland and became the head of the American Bi-Metallic League, which supported free coinage of silver. He was considered as a running mate for Bryan, but had no interest in the post. Sibley would later jump ship to the Republican Party, and ran unsuccessfully for Congress in 1900. Scarce.
