The 1900 United States presidential election was the 29th quadrennial presidential election, held on Tuesday, November 6, 1900. In a re-match of the 1896 race, Republican President William McKinley defeated his Democratic challenger, William Jennings Bryan. McKinley's victory made him the first president to win consecutive re-election since Ulysses S. Grant had accomplished the same feat in 1872. McKinley and Bryan each faced little opposition within their own party. Although some Gold Democrats explored the possibility of a campaign by Admiral George Dewey, Bryan was re-nominated at the 1900 Democratic National Convention after Dewey withdrew from the race. McKinley was unanimously re-nominated at the 1900 Republican National Convention; as Vice President Garret Hobart had died in 1899, the Republican convention chose New York Governor Theodore Roosevelt as McKinley's running mate. The return of economic prosperity and recent victory in the Spanish–American War helped McKinley to score a decisive victory, while Bryan's anti-imperialist stance and continued support for bimetallism attracted only limited support.

McKinley won 51.6 % of the popular vote. The election results were similar to those of 1896, though McKinley picked up several Western states and Bryan picked up Kentucky. McKinley was succeeded by Roosevelt; the 926 delegates to the Republican convention, which met in Philadelphia on June 19–21, re-nominated William McKinley by acclamation. Thomas C. Platt, the "boss" of the New York State Republican Party, did not like Theodore Roosevelt, New York's popular governor though he was a fellow Republican. Roosevelt's efforts to reform New York politics – including Republican politics – led Platt and other state Republican leaders to pressure President McKinley to accept Roosevelt as his new vice- presidential candidate, thus filling the spot left open when Vice President Garret Hobart died in 1899. By electing Roosevelt vice president, Platt would remove Roosevelt from New York state politics. Although Roosevelt was reluctant to accept the nomination for vice president, which he regarded as a trivial and powerless office, his great popularity among most Republican delegates led McKinley to pick him as his new running mate.

Quite unexpectedly, Roosevelt would be elevated to the presidency in September 1901, when McKinley was assassinated in Buffalo, New York. After Admiral George Dewey's return from the Spanish–American War, many suggested that he run for president on the Democratic ticket. Dewey, had angered some Protestants by marrying the Catholic Mildred McLean Hazen in November 1899 and giving her the house that the nation had given him following the war, his candidacy was almost plagued by a number of public relations gaffes. Newspapers started attacking him as naïve after he was quoted as saying the job of president would be easy, since the chief executive was following orders in executing the laws enacted by Congress, that he would "execute the laws of Congress as faithfully as I have always executed the orders of my superiors." Shortly thereafter, he admitted never having voted in a presidential election before, mentioning that the only man he would have voted for, had he voted, would have been Grover Cleveland.

He drew more criticism when he offhandedly told a newspaper reporter that, "Our next war will be with Germany."Dewey's campaign was met with a level of pessimism by Gold Democrats on whose support his campaign depended. Some threw their support to Bryan, since they believed him to be the stronger candidate; as early as three days into his candidacy, his campaign having been damaged by the aforementioned missteps, rumors abounded regarding Dewey's impending withdrawal which proved false. Further injuries, were made when it became clear that the Democratic Party leaders of Vermont were hostile to Dewey and wholly committed to Bryan. Ohio went for Bryan, though with the caveat there that some leaders suggested that all mention to silver in the party platform be dropped. By May 5, John Roll McLean, the brother-in-law of and effective campaign manager for Dewey, defected from the campaign and was considered to now be silently supporting Bryan. By May 17, Dewey recognized that there was little chance for him to gather enough delegates among the Western and Southern states to keep Bryan from attaining two-thirds of the delegates at the convention, publicly commenting that he no longer knew why he had decided to run for president at all.

After this there was a major boom for his nomination as vice president on the ticket alongside Bryan. William Jennings Bryan was faced with little real opposition. Bryan won at the 1900 Democratic National Convention held at Kansas City, Missouri, on July 4–6, garnering 936 delegate votes for the nomination. Source: US President – D Convention. Our Campaigns.. Official or speculated candidates for the vice-presidential nomination: As the nation's third largest party, the Populists had made an organizational decision in 1896 to "fuse" with the Democratic Party on the national level - their identity kept separate by the nomination of two different candidates for vice-president. At the state level, local Populist parties were left at liberty to proceed. In the Plains states, the Populists fused with the Democrats, in some states replaced them entirely. In the South, the Populists fused with the Republican Party; the end result, though Bryan wa

An esplanade or promenade is a long, level area next to a river or large body of water, where people may walk. The historical definition of esplanade was a large, level area outside fortress or city walls to provide clear fields of fire for the fortress's guns. In modern usage the space allows people to pave the area as a pedestrian walk. Esplanades became popular in Victorian times. A promenade abbreviated to' prom', was an area where people – couples and families – would go to walk for a while in order to'be seen' and be considered part of'society'. In the United States of America, esplanade has another meaning, being a median or berm dividing a roadway or boulevard. Sometimes they are just strips of grass; some roadway esplanades may be used as parks with benches. Esplanade and promenade are sometimes used interchangeably; the derivation of "promenade" indicates a place intended for walking, though many modern promenades and esplanades allow bicycles and other nonmotorized transport. Some esplanades include large boulevards or avenues where cars are permitted.
