The1892 United States presidential election in New York took place on November 8, 1892. All contemporary 44 states were part of the1892 United States presidential election. Voters chose 36 electors to theElectoral College, which selected thepresident andvice president.
New York was won by theDemocratic nominees, formerPresidentGrover Cleveland ofNew York and his running mate formerCongressman and AssistantPostmaster GeneralAdlai Stevenson I ofIllinois. Cleveland and Stevenson defeated theRepublican nominees, incumbentPresidentBenjamin Harrison ofIndiana and his running mateU.S. Ambassador to FranceWhitelaw Reid ofOhio.
Also running a significant campaign that year was thePopulist Party candidate,CongressmanJames B. Weaver ofOhio with his running mate state attorney generalJames G. Field ofVirginia, although Weaver's primarilyWestern-based campaign did not perform strongly in New York. Despite receiving 8.51% nationally and winning electoral votes from six states, Weaver finished in fifth place in New York State, with only 1.23 percent of the vote, behind fourth-placeSocialist Labor candidateSimon Wing’s 1.34 percent.
Cleveland carried New York State with 48.99 percent of the vote to Harrison's 45.58 percent, a victory margin of 3.41 points. In a distant third came theProhibition Party candidateJohn Bidwell with 2.86 percent. New York weighed in for this election as less than one percentage point more Democratic than the national average. The Democratic win of New York’s electoral votes marked a personal comeback for Grover Cleveland in his home state, as he had narrowly won the state in his initial1884 presidential campaign, but a narrow defeat here in1888 had cost him the1888 presidential election, partially the result of strong opposition to Cleveland from theTammany Hall machine which dominated New York politics at the time.
Cleveland’s relatively narrow statewide victory relied heavily on a strong margin of victory inNew York City, receiving more than 60% of the vote inNew York County along with victories inKings County,Queens County, andRichmond County. Cleveland also won nearbyWestchester County andRockland County. Harrison fared better upstate, where he won most counties, although Cleveland carried several upstate counties includingErie County, home to the city ofBuffalo, andAlbany County, home to the state capital ofAlbany.
