Following the first two term Presidency since Abraham Lincoln, America is put to the task of selecting a successor. Running as Tilden's successor, both in economic policy and in support for civil service reform, is the Democrat, Governor Grover Cleveland of New York. Running as a non-machinist Republican, supporting a raise in tariffs and civil rights protection for African-Americans, is Senator George F. Edmunds of Vermont. Finally are the two other candidates. Benjamin Butler, the Greenback candidate, and John St. John, the Prohibition candidate.


Governor S. Grover Cleveland (D-NY)/Former Vice President Thomas A. Hendricks (D-IN)


Senator George F. Edmunds (R-VT)/Senator John A. Logan (R-IL)


Governor Benjamin F. Butler (GB-MA)/Former Senator David B. Davis (I-IL)


Former Governor John St. John (P-KS)/Former State Legislator William Daniel (P-MD)

There has been an eight year long assault of reactionaries on the nation, we must elect Butler to reverse the trend.

Cleveland seems to be the best suited for the job.  So that's who I am going for!

Voted Cleveland, though I would be happy with an Edmunds victory if it stopped Butler.

Oh, McKinley would be a wonderful surprise and Bryan would be all too predictable, though Debs might steal his spotlight.

1876 and 1880 have shown that the Dems do quite well with the later turnout, no surprise that it worked now. The only question is: can they hold it?

Crap, are the Greenbacks going to force America into decades of a one-party state? That's only good when it's the party I support!

But seriously, I may have to consider re-becoming a Republican.

They'll disappear for a bit in 1888. Unless Alson Streeter appears on the ballot, then we might still be Inksed.
