Also running a significant campaign that year was the Populist Party candidate, CongressmanJames B. Weaver of Ohio with his running mate state attorney general James G. Field of Virginia, although Weaver's primarily Western-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-place Socialist Labor candidate Simon 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 the Prohibition Party candidate John 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 initial 1884 presidential campaign, but a narrow defeat here in 1888 had cost him the 1888 presidential election, partially the result of strong opposition to Cleveland from the Tammany Hall machine which dominated New York politics at the time.
