Harrison won New Hampshire by a narrow margin of 4.00%. This would be typical of the 1876 to 1892 period, but the state would turn much more Republican in subsequent elections: Cleveland's victories in Carroll and Coös Counties would be the last time a Democrat won any county in the state until 1912.


1892 United States presidential election in New Hampshire
With 51.11% of the popular vote, New Hampshire would prove to be Harrison's fifth strongest victory in terms of percentage in the popular vote after neighboring Vermont, Maine, Massachusetts and Pennsylvania.

1892 United States presidential election in New York
Also running a significant campaign that year was the Populist Party candidate, Congressman James 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 6 states, Weaver finished in fifth place in New York State, with only 1.23% of the vote, behind fourth-place Socialist Labor candidate Simon Wing’s 1.34%.


1892 United States presidential election in New York
Cleveland carried New York State with 48.99% of the vote to Harrison's 45.58%, a victory margin of 3.41%. In a distant third came the Prohibition Party candidate John Bidwell with 2.86%.


1892 United States presidential election in New York
New York weighed in for this election as less than one percentage point more Democratic than the national average.


1892 United States presidential election in New York
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.


1892 United States presidential election in New York
Cleveland’s relatively narrow statewide victory relied heavily on a strong margin of victory in New York City, receiving more than 60% of the vote in New York County along with victories in Kings County, Queens County, and Richmond County. Cleveland also won nearby Westchester County and Rockland County. Harrison fared better upstate, where he won most counties, although Cleveland carried several upstate counties including Erie County, home to the city of Buffalo, and Albany County, home to the state capital of Albany.

1892 United States presidential election in North Dakota
North Dakota participated in its first presidential election, having been admitted as the 39th state on November 2, 1889. The state was won by the Populist nominees, James B. Weaver of Iowa and his running mate James G. Field of Virginia. However, the state Democratic Party also endorsed the Weaver/Field ticket in exchange for the Populists supporting Democratic candidates for local offices, creating a fusion ticket. Weaver and Field defeated the Republican nominees, incumbent President Benjamin Harrison of Indiana and his running mate Whitelaw Reid of New York.


1892 United States presidential election in North Dakota
Two electors from the Democratic-Populist Fusion ticket won and one Republican Elector won on a technicality during counting. This created a split delegation of electors: one for Weaver, one for Harrison, and one for national Democratic candidate Grover Cleveland, who was not separately on the ballot. This is the only time in a US presidential election that a state has equally distributed its electoral votes between three candidates.


1892 United States presidential election in Ohio

1892 United States presidential election in Oregon
Oregon was won by the Republican nominees, incumbent President Benjamin Harrison of Indiana and his running mate Whitelaw Reid of New York. The direct election of Presidential Electors combined with the fact that one Weaver elector was endorsed by the Democratic Party and elected as a Fusionist, resulted in a split between the Republican and Populist electors: three for Harrison and one for Weaver.

1892 United States presidential election in Tennessee, Background and vote
For over a century after the Civil War, Tennessee’s white citizenry was divided according to partisan loyalties established in that war. Unionist regions covering almost all of East Tennessee, Kentucky Pennyroyal-allied Macon County, and the five West Tennessee Highland Rim counties of Carroll, Henderson, McNairy, Hardin and Wayne voted Republican – generally by landslide margins – as they saw the Democratic Party as the “war party” who had forced them into a war they did not wish to fight.


1892 United States presidential election in Tennessee, Background and vote
Contrariwise, the rest of Middle and West Tennessee who had supported and driven the state’s secession was equally fiercely Democratic as it associated the Republicans with Reconstruction. After the state’s white landowning class re-established its rule in the early 1870s, black and Unionist white combined to forge adequate support for the GOP to produce a competitive political system for two decades, although during this era the Republicans could only capture statewide offices when the Democratic Party was divided on this issue of payment of state debt.


1892 United States presidential election in Tennessee, Background and vote
White Democrats in West Tennessee were always aiming to eliminate black political influence, which they first attempted to do by election fraud in the middle 1880s and did so much more successfully at the end of the decade by instituting in counties with significant black populations a secret ballot that prevented illiterates voting, and a poll tax throughout the state. This largely eradicated Republican support in secessionist areas as freedmen became no longer able to vote.


1892 United States presidential election in Tennessee, Background and vote
At the time of the next presidential election, third-time Democratic nominee Grover Cleveland was extremely concerned with the lack of loyalty to the gold standard by Tennessee Democrats and the growing influence of the James B. Weaver-led Populist Party over the state, especially after Governor John P. Buchanan joined the Populists and ran for re-election under that party’s banner However, the strong emphasis by Cleveland and running mate Adlai Stevenson I on opposing the Lodge Force Bill and on reducing tariffs was able to minimise defections to the Populists or the GOP – which with large Unionist areas was even with incomplete black disenfranchisement more viable than in any other ex-Confederate state. Stevenson’s extensive tour of Tennessee and his campaign against the Populists ensured that the state was won comfortably against incumbent President and Republican nominee Benjamin Harrison, whose vote total declined by thirty-eight thousand or over a quarter due to the loss of black voters.

Grover Cleveland was not on the ballot in Wyoming because his supporters fused with Weaver in an effort to deny Harrison Wyoming's electoral votes.


1892 University of Utah football team
The 1892 University of Utah football season was the first season in history for the University of Utah football team. The team played three games and compiled a 1–2 record. However, only one game counts in official NCAA records so their official record is 0–1. Utah lost to Utah Agricultural College (now Utah State University) 12–0 in the first game of what is now known as the Battle of the Brothers.


1892 Utah Agricultural Aggies football team
The 1892 Utah Agricultural Aggies football team was an American football team that represented Utah Agricultural College (later renamed Utah State University) during the 1892 college football season. In their first season of intercollegiate football, the Aggies compiled a 1–0 record.


1892 Utah Agricultural Aggies football team
On November 25, 1892, the Aggies played the University of Utah football team at Logan, Utah with the Aggies prevailing by a 12-0 score. The game was the first intercollegiate football game in program history for both schools. The game began at 3 p.m. on a muddy field that had been partially cleared of snow. After a scoreless first half, Garf ran for the first touchdown in Aggies history, and F. Olsen kicked the goal from touchdown. The Salt Lake Tribune wrote that "probably no finer exhibition of manly sport was ever witnessed in this part of the country", and reported that no one was injured in the game "except for a few sprains."


1892 Utah Agricultural Aggies football team
The team's lineup against Utah was Harry Sanborn at fullback, George Hughes at right halfback, F.

1892 VAMC football team
The 1892 VAMC football team represented Virginia Agricultural and Mechanical College in the 1892 college football season. The team was led by their head coach E. A. Smyth. In what was the inaugural season of Virginia Tech football, the team finished with a record of one win and one loss (1–1).


1892 VAMC football team
On October 21, 1892, the first game ever played in Blacksburg, Virginia was against St. Albans Lutheran Boys School from Radford, Virginia. The game was a 14–10 victory for VAMC and William E. Anderson scored the first touchdown in Virginia Tech football history.


1892 VAMC football team, Background
The first college football game was played on November 6, 1869, between Rutgers and the College of New Jersey. Although the sport continued to grow, it was not introduced for another 23 years at VAMC. In September 1891, VAMC President John McBryde approved an athletic association for the college. Later that fall, a group of students gathered in a field behind the Number One Barracks (now Lane Hall) to play the first pick-up games of football.


1892 VAMC football team, Background
In September 1892, with the help of Biology Professor Ellison Adger Smyth (known as the father of modern football at Virginia Tech), Physics Professor William E. Anderson, and cadets H. B. Pratt and John Walter Stull, a call went out for cadet players and two teams were formed, which would become Virginia Tech's first football squad. Smyth served as coach of the team and Anderson was chosen as captain. They had to go to the barracks every day and ask cadets to participate, since most of the players who were assigned to the second team felt that they had been insulted and refused to return to practice on the following day.


1892 VAMC football team, Background
Practices (and the first home game) were held in a plowed wheat field, located behind Number Four Barracks (near present-day Shanks Hall) that was "about as level as a side of Brush Mountain" and "not as smooth as the bed of the new Blacksburg railroad, but ran up and down hill, with interesting little hollows with hid the play from spectators on the other side of the field."


1892 VAMC football team, Players
The following players were members of the 1892 football team according to the roster published in the 1903 edition of The Bugle, the Virginia Tech yearbook. The roster is also found in the Virginia Tech University Archives.


1892 VAMC football team, Season summary, St. Albans
In what was the first ever game played by Virginia Agricultural and Mechanical College, a team from St. Albans Lutheran Boys School in Radford, Virginia lost to VAMC 14–10 in Blacksburg, Virginia on October 21, 1892. William E. Anderson scored the first touchdown in Virginia Tech football history.


1892 VAMC football team, Season summary, At St. Albans
The second and final game of the season was also against St. Albans Lutheran Boys School and played in Radford. St. Albans led 10–0 at the end of the first half and then the second half was call off with consent of both teams' captains, due to "continued disputes and disagreements." A newspaper article of the time states that the game was "declared off at the end of the first pass.". Another newspaper article cites the score as 12–0.

VAMC attempted to schedule a game with Roanoke College, but they were unsuccessful.


1892 VFA season
The 1892 Victorian Football Association season was the 16th season of the Australian rules football competition.


1892 VFA season
The premiership was won by the Essendon Football Club, which finished with a record of 15 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses from 19 matches. It was Essendon's second consecutive premiership, out of a sequence of four consecutive premierships won from 1891 to 1894.


1892 VFA season, Association membership
The size of the Association premiership increased to thirteen senior clubs in 1892, with the newly established Collingwood Football Club competing for the first time. The club was formed from the Britannia Football Club, which had been a leading junior club in the Collingwood area since the establishment of the VFA in 1877, and had applied to enter the VFA since 1889.


1892 VFA season, Ladder
Teams did not play a uniform number of premiership matches during the season. As such, in the final standings, each team's premiership points were adjusted upwards proportionally to represent a 21-match season – e.g., Essendon played 19 matches, so its tally of premiership points was increased by a factor of 21/19. After this adjustment, there was no formal process for breaking a tie.


1892 VMI Keydets football team
The 1892 VMI Keydets football team represented the Virginia Military Institute (VMI) in their second season of organized football. The Keydets went 4–0–1, a game better than they were the previous season.


1892 Vacaville–Winters earthquakes
The 1892 Vacaville–Winters earthquakes occurred in northern California as a large doublet on April 19 and April 21. Measured on a seismic scale that is based on an isoseismal map or the event's felt area, the 6.4 Mla and 6.2 Mla  events were assigned a maximum Mercalli intensity of IX (Violent), and affected the North Bay and Central Valley areas. The total damage was estimated to be between $225,000 and 250,000 and one person was killed. No evidence of fault movement on the surface of the ground was observed as a result of either of the strong shocks. Both occurred in the domain of the San Andreas strike-slip system of faults, but their focal mechanism is uncertain.


1892 Vacaville–Winters earthquakes, Tectonic setting
The primary tectonic feature of the region is the strike-slip San Andreas system of faults (that move laterally alongside one another). From west to east, the Hayward–Rogers Creek Fault Zone and the Concord–Green Valley Faults are the closest to Vacaville and Winters. A 1999 forecast stated that the Hayward and Rogers Creek Faults have been given a 32% chance of a M6.7 or greater shock before 2030, and the Concord and Green Valley Faults have been assigned a lower probability of 6% each.


1892 Vacaville–Winters earthquakes, Tectonic setting
Vacaville and Winters both lie to the east of these faults along the low foothills. Numerous geoscientists have remarked on the potential for blind thrust earthquakes in this area. These professionals specifically labelled it the Coast Range–Sierran Block Boundary Zone in a sequence of published articles from the 1980s and 1990s and stated that the 1983 Coalinga earthquake (a blind thrust event) occurred within the zone.


1892 Vacaville–Winters earthquakes, Earthquakes
Each large shock in the doublet, one on April 19 and the other two days later on April 21, had a high intensity and was felt over roughly the same geographical area. The area over which the initial shock was felt with an intensity of VIII (Severe) was about 1,100 km2 and the area for the second shock was about 890 km2. The furthest extent that they were felt was from Redding in the north to Salinas and Fresno in the south and to Virginia City, Nevada in the east.


1892 Vacaville–Winters earthquakes, Earthquakes
Investigators completed a study of the area that included a three dimensional crustal velocity model. Proprietary seismic reflection data were also inspected in an attempt to establish a source for the sequence. Observations of the range front and modelling of strong ground motions led to the presentation of a 17 km (11 mi) rupture on the west-dipping Gordon Valley blind thrust fault that could have produced the felt intensities that were specific to the April 19 event.


1892 Vacaville–Winters earthquakes, Earthquakes, Damage
The shocks affected Solano and Yolo Counties along the border of the Sacramento Valley. In the north, the communities of Esparto and Capay both experienced Mercalli intensities of VIII (Severe)—which is associated with damage—and in the south, Vacaville and Fairfield both experienced the same. Work by seismologist Toussan Toppozada, that was published in a 1981 report, further clarified that Vacaville was at the center of the destruction. Damage also occurred at Dixon as well as the area of the highest reported intensity of IX (Violent), midway between Winters and Vacaville, at Allendale. There, some buildings were damaged, some collapsed, and 1.6 km (1 mi) long ground fissures were observed.


1892 Vacaville–Winters earthquakes, Earthquakes, Damage
These widespread and north-trending cracks were very narrow, from 2.5–7.6 centimeters (1–3 in) in width. Despite these surface cracks and other offset drainages and other lineaments, no surface faulting occurred. This was confirmed by trench excavations where these features were found. Other ground effects occurred though. Reports of rockslides and dislodged boulders were written about in the newspapers, but the most common type of damage were the many chimneys that were damaged or destroyed. Total damage was estimated between $225,000 and $250,000, and one person was reported dead.


1892 Vacaville–Winters earthquakes, Earthquakes, Intensity
An isoseismal map for the April 19 event shows an asymmetrical and slightly elongated pattern of isoseismal lines (of equal intensity) on the north–south axis. There are high intensities east of the Napa–Solano county border. No locations in Napa county reached any higher than intensity VI (Strong), indicating that the shock originated east of the Vaca Mountains. The April 21 event differed slightly, in that the strongest effects were shifted slightly to the northwest.


1892 Vanderbilt Commodores football team
The 1892 Vanderbilt Commodores football team represented Vanderbilt University during the 1892 college football season. The team's head coach and team captain was Elliott H. Jones, who served his third and last season in that capacity. This was the first year for Vandy and University of Tennessee to play football also the first year to play at (Old) Dudley Field. The 1892 team was the oldest in the memory of Grantland Rice. He claimed Phil Connell then would be a good player in any era.


1892 Varuna Boat Club of Bay Ridge football team

1892 World Series
The 1892 World Series followed the first split season in National League history, with the first-half champion Boston Beaneaters (102–48) playing the second-half champion Cleveland Spiders (93–56) in a best-of-nine postseason series to determine the overall champion of the 1892 baseball season. After the first game ended in a 0–0 tie due to darkness, Boston won the next five games to win the championship.


1892 World Series
Contemporary newspaper reports referred to the games as the "world's championship series" or "World's Series". This was the last of the pre-modern-era World Series, and followed similar annual postseason competitions held from 1884 to 1890 between the champions of the National League and the American Association (which collapsed after the 1891 season). Later, the Temple Cup would be awarded to the winner of an annual postseason series between National League teams, from 1894 to 1897.


1892 World Series, Background
Boston manager Frank Selee worried that late-October weather conditions would lead to postponements and low attendance. Cleveland's player-manager Patsy Tebeau suggested that "the [Boston] Beaneaters fear the humiliation of possible defeat." Tebeau told Sporting Life that the cold weather was a "dodge … simply an excuse to avoid playing Cleveland."


1892 World Series, Background
Bookies had the Spiders as the favorite, due to their pitching staff. Cy Young had gone 36–12 in 49 starts, with a 1.93 earned-run average. Meanwhile, Boston star Mike "King" Kelly had a batting average of only .189 for the year, and was described as "one of the biggest failures of the base ball season."

Hugh Duffy of Boston batted .462 with nine runs batted in and six extra-base hits including a home run.

After an off-day (professional baseball games were not allowed on Sundays in Boston until 1929) the Beaneaters won their fifth game of the series to capture the championship. The 13 players on their roster split $1000 prize money.


1892 World Series, Aftermath
The National League abolished the split season format for 1893, and did not play another split season until 1981, which was caused by a players' strike.


1892 World Series, Aftermath
Multiple participants in the series were later inducted to the National Baseball Hall of Fame:

John Clarkson had started the season with the Beaneaters, and signed with the Spiders after being released at the end of June. Pitcher Lee Viau also played for both Boston and Cleveland during 1892.


1892 World Series, Aftermath
The Beaneaters were later known as the Doves (1907–1910) and the Rustlers (1911) before adopting the nickname of "Braves" in 1912. The franchise relocated to Milwaukee in 1953, and then moved to Atlanta in 1966, where they remain members of the National League as the Atlanta Braves.


1892 World Series, Aftermath
The Spiders' final season was 1899, when they compiled a record of 20–134 (establishing a longstanding record for the worst major league season) after ownership moved their best players to the St. Louis Cardinals, and were one of four teams contracted out of the National League when the league reduced its size to eight teams prior to the 1900 season.

1892 Wyoming gubernatorial special election
The 1892 Wyoming gubernatorial special election was held on November 6, 1892. Republican Governor Francis E. Warren, who was elected in 1890, resigned several weeks into his term after being elected to the U.S. Senate by the state legislature, elevating Secretary of State Amos W. Barber to the governorship and triggering a special election for the balance of Warren's term.


1892 Wyoming gubernatorial special election
The Republican Party nominated banker Edward Ivinson for Governor and Democrats nominated former State Representative and former Rawlins Mayor John E. Osborne. In an election that was largely defined by the Johnson County War, in which cattle companies, supported by the state's Republican establishment, attacked alleged rustlers and homesteaders in the Powder River Country. The Republican support for the Wyoming Stock Growers Association severely hurt the party's performance across the state, as Osborne centered his campaign around his opposition to the invasion. Osborne defeated Ivinson by a wide margin, Democrats won a majority in the Wyoming Legislature, and Republican Benjamin Harrison barely won the state in the 1892 presidential election.


1892 Wyoming gubernatorial special election, Party conventions
Prior to the adoption of Wyoming's primary law in 1911, the political parties nominated their candidates for office by convention. Both the Democratic and Republican conventions were hotly contested and drawn-out. As the Democratic convention started, two candidates were seen as the frontrunners: former State Senator Leopold Kabis and J. J. Hart. During the convention, Kabis, Hart, and former State Senator William H. Holliday earned strong support and were unwilling to yield, resulting in more than thirty ballots without a nominee. On the thirty-seventh ballot, Kabis withdrew from consideration and Osborne emerged as a compromise candidate, winning the nomination.


1892 Wyoming gubernatorial special election, Party conventions
At the Republican convention, three frontrunners emerged: retired banker Edward Ivinson, banker DeForest Richards, and State Senator Frank W. Mondell.

1892 Yale Bulldogs football team, Game summaries, Penn
When a half back started ahead with the ball the first man who took him along would fall in front of the Pennsylvania man about to tackle and this would upset half a dozen men, while another Yale player had jumped quick as a flash ahead of the runner to continue the interference. If another Pennsylvania man tried to tackle the runner the interferer would knock him off while the runner would dodge inside, another Yale man would appear to carry on the runner, and so on until there was a clear field."

1892 vote of no confidence in the Salisbury ministry
The vote of no confidence in the second Salisbury ministry occurred when the Conservative government of Robert Cecil, the Marquess of Salisbury decided to meet Parliament after the general election despite not winning a majority. The government presented a Queen's Speech, but was defeated on 11 August 1892 when the House of Commons carried by 350 to 310 an amendment moved by the opposition Liberal Party declaring that Her Majesty's "present advisers" did not possess the confidence of the House. After the vote Salisbury resigned and Liberal Party leader William Ewart Gladstone became Prime Minister for the fourth time.


1892 vote of no confidence in the Salisbury ministry, Background
With polling in the general election taking place over several weeks, the state of play with regard to party gains could be monitored each day. The Times noted that as the Conservatives and Liberal Unionists together had a majority of 66 in the outgoing House, it would take 33 net seat gains by the Gladstonian side to win (which counted Liberals together with Liberal-Labour members, and Irish Nationalists whether supporters or opponents of Charles Stewart Parnell).


1892 vote of no confidence in the Salisbury ministry, Background
The result of elections up to 11 July gave the Liberals 31 gains, and on 12 July the Gladstonians made further progress to reach a total of 36 net gains. The Times Leader column noted that the leading Liberal Sir William Harcourt had begun estimating the size of the eventual Gladstonian majority, although the Irish did not class themselves as such and that a majority dependent on their support would not be stable.


1892 vote of no confidence in the Salisbury ministry, Background
With almost all election results known, on 21 July The Times noted that it was for William Ewart Gladstone to succeed "in uniting, for the moment, the multifarious elements of the motley majority against the Government, to shape that advice so as to compel LORD SALISBURY's resignation". When returns from all seats came in, the Gladstonian Liberals had 272 seats, with their likely allies bringing them up to 355, while the Conservatives and Liberal Unionists had 315. As the Liberal Party did not have a majority of seats on its own, the Prime Minister the Marquess of Salisbury did not immediately offer his resignation.


1892 vote of no confidence in the Salisbury ministry, Background
On 3 August, Gladstone met with the Anti- Parnellite leaders Justin McCarthy and John Dillon, agreeing that the no confidence motion should be put as soon as possible (preferably on Tuesday 9 August) and that there would be only one or two speeches in the debate from the Anti- Parnellite side. The much smaller Parnellites were determined to maintain their independence of other parties, and a resolution to this effect was passed when the Irish National League met in Dublin on 4 August. Both groups determined to continue to sit on the opposition side of the House after a change of government, but it was always clear that they intended to support the no confidence motion.


1892 vote of no confidence in the Salisbury ministry, Parliament meets
On 4 August the new Parliament met for the House of Commons to elect a Speaker. Sir Matthew White Ridley (Conservative MP for Blackpool) proposed, and William Gladstone seconded, the re-election of Arthur Peel who had been in office for the past eight years, and the proposal was unanimously agreed. On 8 August the Queen's speech was delivered, read by Commission by the Lord Chancellor, the Earl of Halsbury. The "brief and colourless" speech was confined to formally opening the new session, as it asserted that "the business of the Session was completed .. prior to dissolution."


1892 vote of no confidence in the Salisbury ministry, No confidence motion
When the House of Commons met that afternoon, Unionist backbenchers Dunbar Barton and William Henry Cross moved and seconded the 'loyal address' thanking the Queen for the speech. Barton noted that some had suggested that Salisbury ought to have resigned immediately it became obvious he had lost the election, and also that Liberals did not want to have a prolonged discussion on their vote of no confidence. As an Irish Unionist member he defended the government's policy on Ireland. H. H. Asquith then moved an amendment to add the words:


1892 vote of no confidence in the Salisbury ministry, No confidence motion
That we feel it, however, to be our duty humbly to submit to Your Majesty that it is essential that Your Majesty's Government should possess the confidence of this House and of the Country, and respectfully to represent to Your Majesty that such confidence is not reposed in the present Advisers of Your Majesty.


1892 vote of no confidence in the Salisbury ministry, No confidence motion
The debate on the amendment occupied three full days of Parliamentary time, on Monday 8, Tuesday 9 and Thursday 11 August. Special arrangements had to be made for the eventual vote because the issue was crucial, which was the reason the House did not sit on Wednesday.


1892 vote of no confidence in the Salisbury ministry, Division
The vote was called at midnight on 11 August. The Times reported that there was a "scene of great excitement", and owing to the large number of Members of Parliament voting it took more than 25 minutes to count. Both Arthur Balfour and William Gladstone were cheered by their parties, with Gladstone being greeted by his supporters waving their hats. The result was announced by Liberal MP Arnold Morley:


1892 vote of no confidence in the Salisbury ministry, Division
The announcement produced even more cheers and shouts of "Remember Mitchelstown!"


1892 vote of no confidence in the Salisbury ministry, Division
With 665 Members of Parliament taking part (the 660 voting, two tellers from each side and the Speaker in the Chair), the no confidence vote of 1892 was later acknowledged as the 'greatest division' of all time in the House of Commons in the sense of having the most Members taking part. The full House of Commons had 670 seats but two were vacant at the time (Holborn, where Gainsford Bruce had been made a Judge, and Cork North East which had been declined by William O'Brien in preference to Cork City when he had been elected to both).


1892 vote of no confidence in the Salisbury ministry, Division
Only three Members did not vote. Thomas Bartholomew Curran (Kilkenny City, Anti- Parnellite) was absent in Australia, while Arthur Winterbotham (Cirencester, Liberal) and John Lloyd Wharton (Ripon, Conservative) were both ill and were 'paired' with each other. The Times had successfully forecast the result of the vote on the morning of Wednesday 10 August.


1892 vote of no confidence in the Salisbury ministry, Change of government
On Saturday 13 August, the Marquess of Salisbury arrived to see Queen Victoria at Osborne House on the Isle of Wight, where he tendered his resignation. The Court Circular recorded that the Queen had accepted it "with much regret". Gladstone arrived on Monday 15 August to kiss hands and take office for the fourth time.


1892nd Engineer Aviation Battalion (United States)
The 1892nd Engineer Aviation Battalion was a United States Army Air Forces unit activated on 1 May 1943 at Gowen Field (Army Air Base) in Boise, Idaho. The battalion was responsible for building, maintaining, and patrolling runways throughout the Pacific Theater during World War II. The unit was inactivated on 17 June 1946 following the end of the war. The unit was later reactivated and re-designated the 964th Engineering Construction Battalion and performed training functions in Rochester, New York and Fort Belvoir, Virginia until it was inactivated on 23 October 1959.


1892nd Engineer Aviation Battalion (United States), World War II, Training and embarkation
Upon activation on 1 May 1943, the 1892nd Engineer Aviation Battalion was initially assigned to the 930th Engineer Aviation Regiment at Gowen Field, Boise, Idaho, Second Air Force. Later that year the battalion was transferred to the 934th Engineer Aviation Regiment for coordination and supervision of organization and training. On 13 January 1944 the unit was relocated to Geiger Field, Spokane, Washington for a temporary change of station, where the unit was reassigned to the Fourth Air Force for additional training. After training the 1892nd was transferred to Camp Anza near Riverside, California from 6 to 20 October for staging. The unit was then transferred to the San Francisco Port of Embarkation on 21 October 1944 where it remained until leaving on the USS Latimer for overseas deployment on 26 October.


1892nd Engineer Aviation Battalion (United States), World War II, Pacific Theater deployment
On 13 November 1944 the 1892nd arrived at the Oro Bay, New Guinea Pacific Theater staging area via the USS Latimer. The unit was assigned to Biak Island, Mokmer Airfield near the northern coast of Papua, New Guinea where it maintained the airfield. The airfield at Biak was under Japanese control until it was captured by the United States Army in May 1944 following the Battle of Biak.


1892nd Engineer Aviation Battalion (United States), World War II, Pacific Theater deployment
On 28 January 1945 the 1892nd was transferred to the island of Luzon, the largest island in the Philippines. Then on 8 February 1945 the battalion reported that it was again in New Guinea. On 25 May 1945 the 1892nd was ordered to Okinawa for permanent change of station where it was assigned to the Far East Air Force, Fifth Air Force, 928th Engineer Aviation Regiment. The Fifth Air Force was a combat force that was assigned multiple bomber groups throughout the area, particularly Motobu Airfield on the Motobu Peninsula of Okinawa.


1892nd Engineer Aviation Battalion (United States), World War II, Pacific Theater deployment
The 1892nd departed New Guinea on LSTs on 5 June 1945 with a destination of the Ryukyu Islands. On 22 June the unit arrived at Ie Shima (Iejima), a small island off the northwest coast of Okinawa, where it would spend the remainder of the war working on runway maintenance projects and guarding airfield assets. The island housed a 5,000+ foot runway that was made from coral quarried from the island's interior; the runway was utilized by bomber aircraft groups. The battalion was stationed near the site of war correspondent Ernie Pyle's death.


1892nd Engineer Aviation Battalion (United States), World War II, Pacific Theater deployment
Pyle had been killed by a hidden Japanese machine gunner during the initial landing on the island. At the time of his unit's arrival the grave site was marked by an upturned rifle stuck in the mud with Pyle's helmet on it. It was later marked by a monument created by the 77th Infantry Division.


1892nd Engineer Aviation Battalion (United States), World War II, Pacific Theater deployment
After the dropping of the atomic bomb on Nagasaki and Hiroshima as well as a declaration of war by Russia on Japan, the Japanese agreed to unconditional surrender to Allied Forces at Ie Shima. On 19 August 1945, a Japanese surrender party arrived on the island in two Betty Bombers painted white with green crosses, a color-coding that signaled to the Allies who they were and not to shoot them down.


1892nd Engineer Aviation Battalion (United States), World War II, Pacific Theater deployment
The Japanese transferred to a C-54 transport for the trip to Manila and a meeting with General MacArthur to review the terms of surrender. Members of the 1892nd and other units stationed on the island were allowed to line the sides of the runway as the Japanese delegation landed and departed, signaling the imminent end of World War II. The 1892nd was inactivated on 17 June 1946.


1892nd Engineer Aviation Battalion (United States), World War II, Pacific Theater deployment
Awards of the battalion included the World War II Victory Medal, American Campaign Medal, Asiatic-Pacific Campaign Medal (with Battle Stars), Army of Occupation Medal - Japan.


1892nd Engineer Aviation Battalion (United States), Post-World War II
Following the war the unit was later reactivated and re-designated the 964th Engineering Construction Battalion. It performed training functions as an organized reserve unit in Rochester, New York and Fort Belvoir, Virginia until it was inactivated on 23 October 1959.


1892–93 Ardwick A.F.C. season
The 1892–93 season was Ardwick A.F.C. 's second season of league football. Following the amalgamation of the Football Alliance with the Football League, Ardwick was elected to the new Second Division in the inaugural season of two-tier football in England, and the season marked the start of Ardwick (Manchester City)'s exactly 100-year stay in the Football League before leaving in 1992 to co-found the Premier League.


1892–93 Ardwick A.F.C. season, Cup competitions, FA Cup
The draw for the preliminary round and first round of the FA Cup was held at a meeting of the Football Association on 29 August 1892. Ardwick were drawn away at Fleetwood Rangers in the preliminary round, although Ardwick made an offer to Fleetwood to transfer the game to their own stadium, which was accepted. A first round home tie against Workington awaited the winners. The first match was drawn and Fleetwood refused to play extra time, forcing a replay, which was also held at Hyde Road.


1892–93 Aston Villa F.C. season
The 1892–93 English football season was Aston Villa's fifth season in the Football League since its formation. George Ramsay would continue in charge of Aston Villa while the  Management Committee continued to pick the team. The season fell in what was to be called Villa's golden era.


1892–93 Aston Villa F.C. season
First-class cricketer and England football international, Jack Devey  was  Captain. Denny Hodgetts also captained the team.


1892–93 Aston Villa F.C. season
Frederick Rinder had become the club's financial secretary in 1892, and set about installing turnstiles at Villa's Perry Barr ground. Gate receipts immediately increased from £75 to £250. He introduced many other good business practices to the club. It was his idea to make Aston Villa a limited company. Rinder would later be known as the 'Grand Old Man of Aston Villa'.


1892–93 Bristol & District League
The 1892–93 season was the first in the history of the Bristol & District League, which was renamed the Western League in 1895. Nine clubs formed the new league, which consisted of a single division. Wells City joined the league from the Somerset Senior League, of which they had been champions twice. Warmley were the first champions of the new league.


1892–93 British Home Championship
The 1892–93 British Home Championship was an international football tournament between the British Home Nations. The competition was won and dominated by England, who beat all three rival teams and scored 17 goals in just three matches. Fred Spiksley claimed four and Walter Gilliat scored a hat-trick in the competition's opening game. Scotland came second with victories over Ireland and Wales, who finished third and fourth respectively.


1892–93 British Home Championship
England began as the strongest team, scoring twelve goals in the first two games against the Irish and the Welsh with only one in reply. Scotland too began well, winning their match against Wales in Wales by 8–0 before netting another six in a rout of Ireland at home. In the final games, England and Scotland played a match in London which England easily won 5–2 to whitewash their opponents and take the trophy. In a consolation game in Belfast, Ireland beat Wales 4–3 to finish third.


1892–93 British Home Championship
The official attendance for the England v. Scotland match was 16,000; the crowd was so large that it was forced to stand in front of the journalists who were therefore prevented from seeing all of the action. Consequently, there is some dispute over the goal-scorers: although it is not credited in any of the official references, it is now generally accepted that Spiksley scored a hat-trick.


1892–93 Burslem Port Vale F.C. season
The 1892–93 season was Burslem Port Vale's first season of football in the English Football League. The club were founding members of the Football League Second Division, the First Division having been in operation for four seasons prior to 1892–93. A learning curve for the club, it marked the first of four seasons of struggle in what was rapidly becoming the second tier of the strongest league in the world. This learning curve was punctuated by the biggest league defeat in the club's history, a 10–0 humiliation in a snowstorm at home to Sheffield United on 10 December 1892, still a Football League record for a home defeat.


1892–93 Burslem Port Vale F.C. season
Other than the record defeat (which saw right-half Billy Delves play in goal), and two away performances where five goals were conceded, the Vale were competitive in most matches, winning three of their games by at least a three-goal margin. If not for the capitulation to Sheffield United then the club would have had one of the better defensive records in the league. However a run of one goal scored in five consecutive games highlighted their lack of offensive firepower. This run saw them lose eight of ten games.


1892–93 Burslem Port Vale F.C. season, Winning Football League status
Having spent their early history playing only friendly matches, cup games, and in minor leagues such as the Midland Football League; 1892–93 marked the club's first season in the English Football League. The Football League's merger with the Football Alliance saw the club granted Second Division status, due to their third place standing in the Midland League in 1891–92, along with Northwich Victoria and Sheffield United.


1892–93 Burslem Port Vale F.C. season, Overview, Second Division
The pre-season started terribly, star striker Frank McGinnes dying of kidney disease before a ball was kicked. His replacement was Wallace Bliss, and local headmaster Fred Farrington was appointed captain. The first match continued in desperately poor fashion; Billy Beats missed the train, and so Vale played with ten men against Small Heath, losing 5–1, with Bliss scoring the club's first Football League goal – his only goal in the league ever. Away matches were difficult for the "Valeites" as players had trouble gaining permission from their employers to miss work. Vale suffered a 10–0 defeat in a snowstorm at home to Sheffield United on 10 December, a Football League record for a home defeat.
