Apresidential election was held inIndiana on November 8, 1892, as part of the1892 United States presidential election. TheDemocratic ticket of the formerpresidentGrover Cleveland and the former first assistantU.S. postmaster generalAdlai Stevenson I defeated theRepublican ticket of the incumbent presidentBenjamin Harrison and the formerU.S. ambassador to FranceWhitelaw Reid. Cleveland defeated Harrison in the national election with 277electoral votes.[2]
This was the first presidential election held in Indiana following passage of the 1889 ballot reform law, which replaced the previous party ticket system with asecret ballot.[3]
Indiana chose 15 electors on a statewidegeneral ticket. Nineteenth-century election laws required voters to elect each member of the Electoral College individually, rather than as a group. This sometimes resulted in small differences in the number of votes cast for electors pledged to the same presidential candidate, if some voters did not vote for all the electors nominated by a party.[4] This table reflects the statewide popular vote as calculated byWalter Dean Burnham in his influential study,Presidential Ballots, 1836–1892.[5]Svend Petersen finds 1,712 more votes for Harrison and 30 more votes for Bidwell in Indiana.[6]
