I know very little about the socioeconomics of DC in 1896 in particular (whether it was basically identical to the other Northeastern Metros or comparatively more like Virginia or someplace else, what its ethnic and racial demographics were and what its voting rights situation was, etc.), so I hope to learn more about that in the responses to this topic.

Baltimore City's voting history is probably our best proxy for pre-1964 DC, and in 1896 McKinley won it comfortably.
