Twenty two votes were cast for Benjamin Harrison, and one vote for Grover Cleveland. The contest was extremely close between the Republican and Democratic parties, and James P'. Seward was elected on the Democratic electoral ticket, and cast his vote for Cleveland. This has been the only instance of a division in the electoral vote of Ohio.
