U.S. presidential election, 1888

The U.S. presidential election of 1888 was held on November 6, 1888. Incumbent President Grover Cleveland received the greatest number of popular votes, but Republican challenger Benjamin Harrison's 233 electoral votes topped Cleveland's 168 to win the election. This marked the first time since the controversial election of 1876 that a President-elect failed to win the popular vote, a feat that would not be repeated until at least 1960 and possibly not until 2000.
