actually received more votes counted than Harrison. However, as in other elections in the period, widespread vote suppression and fraud was common on behalf of Democrats and against black Republicans in the South.

Especially in industrializing regions, voters chose the Republican view on tariffs, as they gave the party a slim majority in the House.
