	Election of 1892
		Cleveland was the front runner at the Democratic convention in 1892.
		The election campaign was dominated by the issue of tariffÐ with Cleveland running against the increase in tariffs that Harrison had brought about.
		Cleveland won the election, but Weaver won 22 electoral votesÐ the only third party candidate between 1860- and 1912 to carry a single state.

		In the Middle Ages elections were abandoned, except for such processes as elections to the papacy and, in a more limited sense, of the Holy Roman emperor by a small and partly hereditary body of electors.
		In colonial America the election of church and public officials dates almost from the founding of the Plymouth Colony, and the paper ballot was instituted in elections to the Massachusetts governorship in 1634.
		The Constitution specified that elections to the House of Representatives be direct, or popular, and that the election of the Senate and of the president and vice president be indirect, Senators being chosen by the state legislatures and the president and vice president by electors selected by the people (see electoral college).

	NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Secret voting
		The secret ballot is a process in elections where the choice of the voters is kept confidential.
		The key aim of this process is to ensure the voter records a sincere choice by forestalling attempts to influence the voter by intimidation or bribery.
		Elections in the United States are now almost always held by secret ballot, with party nominating caucuses in some states--most significantly the leadoff Presidential nominating state of Iowa--requiring an open casting of ballots.

		Elections to be by ballot; qualifications of voters; election districts.
		A person once entitled to vote in any election district, shall be entitled to vote there until he shall have acquired a residence in another election district or ward in this State.
		Privilege to vote in a state is within the jurisdiction of the state itself, to be exercised as the state may direct, and upon such terms as to it may seem proper, provided, of course, no discrimination is made between individuals in violation of the federal Constitution.

		Election results served up predictable victory for the ruling Democrats, despite loud outcries of foul play – some of which were even acknowledged by old-line regulars, given the visible depths to which the elections had been hijacked.
		Even with charges of election fraud during the 2000 presidential election a recent memory, it is nearly impossible to imagine an election like the one held in 1892.
		In Origins, Woodward describes the 1892 election season as a “brutal replay” of Reconstruction, in which the tactics of “boycott, social ostracism, foreclosure of mortgages, discharge from jobs, withholding of credit and supplies” were utilized to “calibrate” the vote of Southern farmers.

		In principle, the election of the president was indirect, each of the nine States casting one single vote; the successful candidate required an absolute majority, otherwise the final decision was left to Congress.
		Ordinarily popular elections were held for president of the Union, state president or governor, representatives to the lower house of Congress, and deputies to the state legislature.

	Facial hair and Presidential elections
		Every Republican candidate from 1856 to 1892 (with the arguable exception of 1860) had a beard, with a later run of moustaches on Roosevelt in 1904, Taft in 1908 and Roosevelt and Taft in 1912 followed by a final beard in 1916 (and a postscript for the moustache in 1944 and 1948).
		The trend of bearded presidents is often said to have begun with Abraham Lincoln in the 1860 election.
		This election is seen by many as the one that set the trend for the rest of the century, as Abraham Lincoln, famously bearded, defeated Stephen Douglas, incumbent Vice-President John Breckinridge, and John Bell, all of whom were clean shaven.

		The elections led to losses for the Liberals, partially because the Conservatives adopted anti-Semitism as part of their platform for the first time.
		This theory was denounced as a heresy at the Lübeck congress (1901, especially by Karl Kautsky and Rosa Luxemburg), but it nevertheless colored the outlook of the party, which was further influenced by the rapid progress of the trade union movement, dominated by moderate views.
		After the serious setback of the Socialists in the election of 1907, revisionism became more and more generally accepted.

		In December 1887, the president used his annual message to Congress to appeal for a reduction in the nation’s high tariffs, and an administration-backed bill was introduced into the House by Congressman Roger Mills in the spring of 1888.
		Given the timing, the tariff became a key issue in the presidential election.
		Sweeping Democratic victories in the 1890 congressional elections whetted his political appetite again, prodding Cleveland to threw his hat into the ring and secure the Democratic presidential nomination for a third straight time in 1892.

		The high point of conflict over American monetary policy was reached between the 1870s and the 1890s, when the Greenback and Populist movements split groups, parties, and regions, defined the agenda of several national elections, and gave rise to some of the more vivid political rhetoric in the country's history.
		These fears grew after the 1892 elections gave the Democrats, who had run on a silverite platform, control of the presidency and both houses of Congress for the first time since the 1850s.
		Indeed, in the 1896 Presidential election the Republicans made an explicit connection of this sort, promising industrialists high tariffs in return for their support for gold.

		Populists favored regulation of railroads and railroad rates, a national graduated income tax law, state election laws to deal with disputed elections, a secret ballot and more money for farmers.

		In a 1913 by-election the Liberals beat the Unionists by 57 votes; they were then unopposed in a 1914 by-election after their new MP died.
		Nationalists were the narrow losers in 1885, 1886, 1892 and 1900; Liberals likewise in 1910; the seat was unopposed in a 1903 by-election and in 1906.

		By 1930, lever machines had been installed in virtually every major city in the United States, and by the 1960’s well over half of the Nation’s votes were being cast on these machines.
		Mechanical lever machines were used by 20.7% of registered voters in the United States as of the 1996 Presidential election.
		Because these machines are no longer made, the trend is to replace them with computer based marksense or direct recording electronic systems.

		Its first convention was in 1892, when delegates from farm, labor and reform organizations met in Omaha, Nebraska, determined at last to make their mark on a U.S. political system they viewed as hopelessly corrupted by the monied interests of the industrial and commercial trusts.
		The Populists showed impressive strength in the West and South in the 1892 elections, and their candidate for president polled more than a million votes.

		In the first few contested elections, the principal opponents might even be members of the same party.
		This consecutive distribution does not match the style of back and forth election winners: thus, the consideration for superior-inferior fails in the case of the solar eclipse chart.
		Because she does not approach her model as statistical or probabilistic in nature, her one unequivocal prediction - that the Democrats would win in 1984 - looks silly in retrospect, and this allows easy dismissal of a very important contribution to mundane study: a model which, with further effort, may yet yield successful quantitative results.

		Following the 1892 elections, many Democrats believed they had finally succeeded.
		In that contest, they had captured the presidency for the first time since the war and had added control of the Senate to that of the House of Representatives.

		The presidential election of 1900 gave the American people a chance to pass judgment on the McKinley administration, especially its foreign policy.
		The 16th Amendment authorized a federal income tax; the 17th Amendment, ratified in 1913, mandated the direct election of senators by the people, replacing the system whereby they were selected by state legislatures.
		Yet balanced against these achievements was Taft's acceptance of a tariff with protective schedules that outraged liberal opinion; his opposition to the entry of the state of Arizona into the Union because of its liberal constitution; and his growing reliance on the conservative wing of his party.
