Elections Revisited: 1880 General Election

[Kaine for Senate '18]

The poll will close on Tuesday.

[Lief 🗽]

James B. Weaver (Greenback).

[Daniel Adams]

Since the issue of the day was tariffs, I would've voted for the pro-free trade candidate, Winfield Scott Hancock.

[Kaine for Senate '18]

Since the issue of the day was tariffs, I would've voted for the pro-free trade candidate, Winfield Scott Hancock.

Which leads me to Garfield.

This poll is worthless without the option of Weaver. Any candidate who gets over 2 percent of the popular vote (Weaver took 3.3 percent and was a serious factor in the race's outcome) should be included.

[Marokai Backbeat]

James B. Weaver (Greenback).

Agreed. Upsetting that he isn't included in this poll.

[Dr. Cynic]

I probably would've voted for my fellow Pennsylvanian, Winfield Scott Hancock.

[The Mikado]

Hancock.  Fie on your tariffs, Republicans!

[Franzl]

Hancock

[HappyWarrior]

Garfield, an anti-free trade man.
