On November 8, 1892, Democrat Grover Cleveland won the presidential election over his 1888 rival, Republican Benjamin Harrison, and Populist James Weaver with an Electoral College victory of 277 to Harrison’s 145 and Weaver’s 22. Cleveland’s margin in the popular vote was the largest in 16 years, 46%-43%-9% (5.6 to 5.2 to 1 million). It was the third consecutive time that he had achieved a popular majority in a presidential election, a feat equaled only by Andrew Jackson and Franklin Roosevelt (who surpassed it with four).
