What county is it in?

Suffolk County voted Democrat in 1892, 1900, 1904, 1912, 1916, and then from 1928 onward, overwhelmingly Democrat every time.

Atlas doesn't have data for elections prior to 1892.

Cook County voted Republican in 1900, 1904 (landslide), 1916, 1920, 1924, and 1928. In 1912, it went Progressive.

No data for 1908 or any time before then.

As for Philadelphia County, it voted GOP in 1892 (57.5%), 1896 (72.1%), 1900 (73.9%), 1904 (80.8%), 1908 (69.1%), 1912 (36.5%, but combined with TR, almost 70%), 1916 (66.8%), 1920 (73.4%), 1924 (77.7%), 1928 (60.0%), and even 1932 (54.5%). Democratic ever since, though 1948 was close.

Where did you think McKinley's support came from? Rural areas?
