History

Origins

The origins of the Democratic Party lie in its predecessor, the Romanian Communist Party. The Communist Party was founded in 1921 by Gheorghe Gheorghiu-Dej and to oppose the National Liberal Party, and a peasants' party led by Ion Mihalache.

Because of the Liberal-Peasants' dominance over government, the Communist Party was banned . After 1952, the Communist Party was the only party in Romania. After the 1989 revolution, the party dissolved into the File:Social-Democratic Party-Icon and File:DemocratsRomania-icon.

"Upon a Cross of Gold"

Notoriously in the 1876 presidential election, the Democratic nominee Samuel J. Tilden, while winning the popular vote, had their reported victories in several states, such as Louisiana and Florida, disputed by Republican authorities. As a compromise to allow Republican nominee Rutherford B. Hayes to win the 20 total disputed electoral votes and thus the election, the Republicans were forced to end Reconstruction. Democratic politics thus shifted away from Reconstruction and towards economic and cultural issues. Following the end of reconstruction, the Democrats dominated the South through the disenfranchisement of blacks. The Democratic dominance of the South was such to an extent that the South was called the 'Solid South', as the South was practically a one-party state.

The Democrats would return to the White House in 1885, when the Democratic nominee Grover Cleveland won the presidential election. Cleveland was a so-called Bourbon Democrat, who were laissez-faire, pro-business Democrats who supported the gold standard. Cleveland was not re-elected in 1888 after narrowly losing the electoral college to Benjamin Harrison, but the unpopularity of Harrison's policies led to Cleveland easily retaking power in 1892.

When the Panic of 1893 hit the United States, Cleveland and the Bourbon Democrats were immediately blamed for the depression. Because of this, the Democratic party split between pro and anti-Bourbonite factions. The anti-Bourbonites were most characterized by their support for the silver standard and bimetallism, as opposed to the gold standard. In the end, the anti-Bourbonites won out and nominated young Nebraska representative William Jennings Bryan, who became famous for his Cross of Gold speech, where he rallied for 'free silver', where the unlimited minting of silver coins would supposedly flood the economy with cash and end the depression. Bryan was controversial among Democrats, but despite losing the 1896 election, Bryan would continue to be the Democratic nominee until 1908, with the exception of 1904.
