Distribution of votes in the 1888 US presidential election

The 26the presidential election of the United States took place in 1888, and was contested between the Republican Party's Benjamin Harrison, and incumbent President Grover Cleveland of the Democratic Party. The results, like many of the other elections during the period, was very close. Cleveland received a plurality of the popular vote, with over 90,000 more votes than Harrison. In spite of this, Harrison won the popular vote in 20 states, and received a 58 percent share of the electoral votes, compared to Cleveland's 18 states (which returned just 42 percent of the electorate). Harrison won the election, and became the 23rd President of the United States, following in the footsteps of his grandfather, William Henry Harrison, who had been the ninth US President.

美国第26届总统选举于1888年举行，此次选举由共和党候选人本杰明·哈里森与民主党现任总统格罗弗·克利夫兰展开角逐。此次选举的结果，如同该时期内许多其他选举一样，竞争异常激烈。克利夫兰获得了相对多数的普选票，比哈里森多出超过9万票。尽管如此，哈里森在20个州赢得了普选票，获得了58%的选举人票，而克利夫兰仅在其所在的18个州获得了42%的选举人票。哈里森最终赢得了选举，成为美国的第23任总统，继承了其祖父威廉·亨利·哈里森——第九位美国总统——的遗志。
