Oliver Hudson Kelley conceived the idea of the Grange as a social and fraternal organization of farmers, and on December 4, 1867 he and six others secured the charter and Kelley became secretary until his resignation in 1878. The Grange was later instrumental in passing the "Granger Laws" which put an end to various abuses by the railroad industry in the late 1800s.
Bryan supported J. Sterling Morton for Congress in 1888, but the man who was later to be Mr. Cleveland's Secretary of Agriculture was defeated.... Next time, in 1890, Bryan took the nomination and ran against the same Republican who had so badly defeated Mr. Morton. Bryan had much better luck. He challenged his adversary to a series of joint debates, and made so brilliant a showing that he carried the district, which had given the Republicans 3,500 majority two years before, by a majority of 6,700 votes.
