Tennessee voters chose 12 representatives, or electors, to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.1884 Presidential Election Results Tennessee https://uselectionatlas.org/RESULTS/state.php?year=1884&off=0&elect=0&fips=47&f=0 For over a century after Civil War, Tennessee's white citizenry was divided according to partisan loyalties established in that war. Unionist regions covering almost all of East Tennessee, Kentucky Pennyroyal-allied Macon County, and the five West Tennessee Highland Rim counties of Carroll, Henderson, McNairy, Hardin and WayneWright, John K.; ‘Voting Habits in the United States: A Note on Two Maps’; Geographical Review, vol. 22, no. 4 (October 1932), pp. 666-672 voted Republican – generally by landslide margins – as they saw the Democratic Party as the “war party” who had forced them into a war they did not wish to fight.Key (Jr.), Valdimer Orlando; Southern Politics in State and Nation (New York, 1949), pp. 282-283 Contrariwise, the rest of Middle and West Tennessee who had supported and driven the state's secession was equally fiercely Democratic as it associated the Republicans with Reconstruction.Lyons, William; Scheb (II), John M. and Stair Billy; Government and Politics in Tennessee, pp. 183-184 1572331410 After the state's white landowning class re-established its rule in the early 1870s, blacks and Unionist whites nonetheless forged adequate support for the GOP to produce a competitive political system for two decades,Kousser, J. Morgan; The Shaping of Southern Politics: Suffrage Restriction and the Establishment of the One-Party South, 1880-1910, p. 104 0-300-01973-4 although during this era the Republicans could only capture statewide offices when the Democratic Party was divided on this issue of payment of state debt. White Democrats in West Tennessee were always aiming to eliminate black political influence, and during the 1880s they attempted to do this by election fraud and stuffing of ballot boxes.Kousser; The Shaping of Southern Politics, p. 110 However, at this stage the Republican Party was a strong force throughout the state and the Democratic Party had not yet achieved a monopoly in power in secessionist areas, with its statewide vote not rising above sixty percent in any year's congressional race. Tennessee was won by the Democratic nominees, Governor Grover Cleveland of New York and his running mate former Senator and Governor Thomas A. Hendricks of Indiana. Cleveland and Hendricks defeated the Republican nominees, former Secretary of State and Senator James G. Blaine of Maine and his running mate Senator John A. Logan of Illinois, with 51.45% of the vote. This would be the last occasion Shelby County voted for a Republican presidential candidate until Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1956,Menendez Albert J. The Geography of Presidential Elections in the United States, 1868-2004 298–303 2005 McFarland 0786422173 the last occasion Fayette County did so until Richard Nixon in 1960, and the last occasion Haywood County voted Republican until Barry Goldwater in 1964.
