The election of 1888 was not one filled with hard campaigning on both sides. President Grover Cleveland was busy seeing to the affairs of the Presidency, while Benjamin Harrison campaigned hard to protect high tariffs. That was the central issue of the year. [1] Although, Democrats did try to campaign the results of hte election would show:
| candidates | popular vote | electoral vote |
|---|---|---|
| Benjamin Harrison | 5, 447, 129 | 233 |
| Grover Cleveland | 5, 537, 857 | 168 |
| Clinton B. Fisk | 249, 505 | 0 |
| Anson J. Streeter | 146, 935 | 0 |
