TheSilver Party was apolitical party in theUnited States active from 1892 until 1911 and most successful inNevada which supported a platform ofbimetallism andfree silver.^[1][2]

In 1892, several Silver Party candidates were elected to Nevada public offices. The party's success continued throughout the decade, culminating in the election ofGovernorsJohn E. Jones andReinhold Sadler. Nevada was the only state to elect both Senators and Congressional representatives from the Silver Party.^[3]

Nationally, the Silver Party aligned with thePopulist Party and to a lesser extent with theSilver Republican Party. However, the 1896Democratic Party presidential nomination of free silver advocateWilliam Jennings Bryan moved many Silver Party members towards the Democrats. By 1902, most pro-silver factions in Nevada had been absorbed by thestate Democratic Party organization.
