United States presidential election in Alabama, 1888

|
The 1888 United States presidential election in Alabama was held on November 6, 1888, as part of the concurrent Presidential election in which all thirty-eight contemporary states participated. Alabama voters chose ten electors, or representatives to the Electoral College, who voted for President and Vice-President.
Alabama was won easily by the Democratic nominee, former President and Governor of New York Grover Cleveland, over the Republican nominee, former Indiana Senator Benjamin Harrison. Increasing intimidation of African-Americans who attempted to vote[1] meant that Cleveland increased his margin of 22 percentage points in 1884 to 34.51 percentage points. Increasingly blatant electoral fraud in the region against the Republican Party – associated at this state with the memories of Reconstruction – meant that Cleveland carried every Black Belt county,[2] and lost only five counties in North Alabama that were unfavourable to his Bourbon Democrat policies and image.
