1884 U.S. Presidential Election

[Sewer]

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.

The Republican nominees after Edmunds will be horrible, so it's not much of a loss.

Honestly, I fail to see what's so horrible about Benjamin Harrison.

Cleveland is one of the great presidents, so easily him.

I think it's safe to declare Grover Cleveland is elected the next President of the United States of America!

It'll come eventually. I'm currently trying to decide how it'll "look right".

The 1884 United States Presidential Election
Like in 1880, the election would be another close victory for the Democrats. Despite the Panic of 1881, the economy had settled and much of the steam that Greenbacks had built nationwide in the 1882 elections had dissipated, except in the West. There, miners and farmers, largely poor, sought inflationary policies for different reasons. The Butler campaign had been able to win previously Republican miners by running a pro-silver campaign in states like Nevada and Colorado, while sticking to their national platform elsewhere. However, with Edmunds, Butler, and St. John all splitting the left-wing vote in the nation, Grover Cleveland was able to win a third consecutive Democratic term running on a platform of maintaining the gold standard and continued civil service reform.

Governor S. Grover Cleveland (Democrat-New York)/Former Vice President Thomas Hendricks (Democrat-Indiana) 208 electoral votes, 40% of the popular vote
Senator George F. Edmunds (Republican-Vermont)/Senator John A. Logan (Republican-Illinois) 113 electoral votes, 32.5% of the popular vote
Governor Benjamin F. Butler (Greenback-Massachusetts)/Former Senator David B. Davis (Independent-Illinois) 80 electoral votes, 25% of the popular vote
Former Governor John St. John (Prohibition-Kansas)/Former Member of the State Legislature William Daniel (Prohibition-Maryland) 0 electoral votes, 2.5%

St. John is left-wing?

St. John is left-wing?

Apart from the whole Prohibition thing, he seemed to be fairly left-wing. As Governor of Kansas, he was instrumental in forming a relief association for the benefit of former slaves who moved into the state.
