A presidential election was held in Indiana on November 8, 1892, as part of the 1892 United States presidential election. The Democratic ticket of the former president Grover Cleveland and the former first assistant U.S. postmaster general Adlai Stevenson I defeated the Republican ticket of the incumbent president Benjamin Harrison and the former U.S. ambassador to France Whitelaw Reid. Cleveland defeated Harrison in the national election with 277 electoral votes.Petersen 1963 60
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 a secret ballot.La Follette 1928 117–18
General election
Summary
Indiana chose 15 electors in a statewide general election. Voters elected each member of the Electoral College individually; under this system, electors nominated by the same party often received differing numbers of votes as a consequence of voter rolloff, split-ticket voting, or electoral fusion.Petersen 1963 vii–ix This table reflects the statewide popular vote as calculated by Walter Dean Burnham in his influential study, Presidential Ballots, 1836–1892.Burnham 1955 249 Svend Petersen finds 1,712 more votes for Harrison and 30 more votes for Bidwell in Indiana.Petersen 1963 52
