The Grange was organized for the sake of simplicity. It expanded by using the growing political party of the Democrats, which sprung from Farmers alliance. The populist party, which inlcuded the extremist Jacob Coxey, was about making decisions best for the population. the Cross of Gold speech involves what methods to be used when handling gold. All parties backed Jennings in 1896, and he won. 1900's candidate for Vice president was his cabinet apprentice. All people equally influenced the election, but if I had to answer with one I'd say urban because there were more people in cities now.
Hope this helps wow that took awhile.
