The1892 United States presidential election in Kentucky took place on November 8, 1892. All contemporary 44 states were part of the1892 United States presidential election . Kentucky voters chose thirteen electors to theElectoral College , which selected thepresident andvice president .
Ever since theCivil War ,Kentucky had been shaped politically by divisions created by that war betweensecessionist ,Democratic counties andUnionist ,Republican ones,[ 1] Third Party System at either presidential[ 2] [ 3]
However, at the beginning of the 1890s, the state was hit by a crisis in its farming sector, which was especially severe in its most secessionist region – the historically slaveholding and dark-tobacco-growingJackson Purchase which was badly affected by changes in taste amongst the nation's smokers.[ 3] Greenback revolt over a decade previously, and a continuation of the trends meant that the “Kentucky Alliance” was formed in 1887. During the state's 1891Constitutional Convention, the Alliance made a number of demands on taxation and labor reform, and sent to the state legislature thirteen men, mostly from the Purchase andWestern Coal Field .
The Populist threat, however, would be dissipated by the work of Democratic vice presidential nomineeAdlai Stevenson I , whose campaign in the state emphasized the potential impact of theLodge Force Bill and high tariffs upon the South,[ 4] Grover Cleveland – whose stance in favor of thegold standard was unpopular in the South – would carry the state by almost the same margin as in1888 .[ 4]
