McKinley won Connecticut by a margin of 15.85% in this rematch of the 1896 presidential election. The return of economic prosperity and recent victory in the Spanish–American War helped McKinley to score a decisive victory.

Delaware was won by the Republican nominees, incumbent President William McKinley of Ohio and his running mate Theodore Roosevelt of New York.


1900 United States presidential election in Florida
The 1900 United States presidential election in Florida was held on November 6, 1900. Florida voters chose four representatives, or electors to the Electoral College, who voted for President and Vice-President.


1900 United States presidential election in Florida
The anti-Southern animus of the Harrison presidency meant Florida‘s large landowners felt the disfranchisement of blacks was urgent by 1889. A poll tax was introduced in 1889 as were the so-called “Myers” and “Dortch” laws which required voters in more populous settlements to register their voting precincts. This dramatically cut voter registration amongst blacks and poorer whites, and since Florida completely lacked upland or German refugee whites opposed to secession, its Republican Party between 1872 and 1888 was entirely dependent upon black votes. Thus this disfranchisement of blacks and poor whites by a poll tax introduced in 1889 left Florida as devoid of Republican adherents as Louisiana, Mississippi or South Carolina. The Republican Party did not offer presidential electors in 1892, and it did not carry a single county in 1896.


1900 United States presidential election in Florida
With Bryan appealing to many pineywoods “crackers” who still paid the poll tax, he was able to improve upon his 1896 landslide. The power of Baptist preachers in the settled northern part of the state, however, did produce considerable support for the Prohibition Party’s John Woolley in the white counties.


1900 United States presidential election in Florida
The election saw William Jennings Bryan win the state and receive all four electoral votes. This stands as one of the ten occasions when third or minor parties got over 5% of the vote in Florida.


1900 United States presidential election in Georgia
The 1900 United States presidential election in Georgia took place on November 6, 1900, as part of the wider United States Presidential election. Voters chose 13 representatives, or electors, to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.


1900 United States presidential election in Georgia, Background
Following Reconstruction, Georgia would be the first former Confederate state to substantially disenfranchise its newly enfranchised freedmen and many poor whites, doing so in the early 1870s. This largely limited the Republican Party to a few North Georgia counties with substantial Civil War Unionist sentiment – chiefly Fannin but also to a lesser extent Pickens, Gilmer and Towns.


1900 United States presidential election in Georgia, Background
The Democratic Party served as the guardian of white supremacy against a Republican Party historically associated with memories of Reconstruction, and the main competition became Democratic primaries, which were restricted to whites on the grounds of the Democratic Party being legally a private club. This restriction was originally done by local laws and from 1898 by statewide party laws.


1900 United States presidential election in Georgia, Background
However, politics after the first demobilization by a cumulative poll tax was chaotic. Third-party movements, chiefly the Populist Party, gained support amongst the remaining poor white and black voters in opposition to the planter elite. The fact that Georgia had already substantially reduced its poor white and black electorate two decades ago, alongside pressure from urban elites in Atlanta, and the decline of isolationism due to the success of the Spanish–American War, meant the Populist movement substantially faded in the late 1890s, especially after the dominant Democratic Party instituted a statewide requirement to use primaries rather than conventions.


1900 United States presidential election in Georgia, Vote
Neither candidate campaigned in the state, despite McKinley’s efforts to establish the GOP amongst white southerners during the preceding election. Polls just before election day gave Bryan a majority of between forty thousand and sixty thousand, and this proved accurate, for Bryan won by nearly forty-seven thousand votes or by thirty-eight percent. Bryan even won fifty-nine percent of the ballots in what was typically the state’s most Republican county – Fannin – possibly due to his opposition to imperialist adventures in the Pacific. He is alongside Samuel J. Tilden and Jimmy Carter one of only three post-Civil War candidates to win a majority in Fannin County.


1900 United States presidential election in Idaho
The 1900 United States presidential election in Idaho took place on November 6, 1900. All contemporary 45 states were part of the 1900 United States presidential election. State voters chose three electors to the Electoral College, which selected the president and vice president.

Idaho was won by the Democratic nominees, William Jennings Bryan of Nebraska and his running mate Adlai Stevenson I of Illinois. Bryan and Stevenson defeated the Republican nominees, William McKinley of Ohio and his running mate Theodore Roosevelt of New York.


1900 United States presidential election in Idaho
Bryan had previously defeated McKinley in Idaho four years earlier. He would later lose the state to William Howard Taft in 1908. As of the 2020 election this is the last election in which the Republican candidate won the presidency without Idaho.


1900 United States presidential election in Illinois
The 1900 United States presidential election in Illinois took place on November 6, 1900. All contemporary 45 states were part of the 1900 United States presidential election. State voters chose 24 electors to the Electoral College, which selected the president and vice president.


1900 United States presidential election in Illinois

1900 United States presidential election in Kentucky
The 1900 United States presidential election in Kentucky took place on November 6, 1900. All contemporary 45 states were part of the 1900 United States presidential election. Kentucky voters chose 13 electors to the Electoral College, which selected the president and vice president.


1900 United States presidential election in Kentucky, Background and vote
Ever since the Civil War, Kentucky had been shaped politically by divisions created by that war between secessionist, Democratic counties and Unionist, Republican ones, although the state as a whole leaned Democratic throughout this era and the GOP would never carry the state during the Third Party System. However, the Democratic Party in the state was heavily divided over free silver and the role of corporations in the middle 1890s, and it lost the governorship for the first time in forty years in 1895 due to Populist defections.


1900 United States presidential election in Kentucky, Background and vote
In 1896, the state’s growing urban and coal mining areas, which unlike most parts of the South had developed economic ties with the Midwest and Northeast and thus opposed free silver, gave William McKinley sufficient support to carry Kentucky by a very narrow margin of 277 votes in what remains the seventh-closest vote for presidential electors on record.


1900 United States presidential election in Kentucky, Background and vote
For the rematch in 1900, an early poll had the state in doubt. By the final week of October, polls generally had returning Democratic nominee William Jennings Bryan carrying the state, and this he did by a 1.71 percent margin. His win was generally attributed to the fact that urban and coal counties were more tolerant of anti-imperialism (directed against American colonialism in the Pacific islands) than free silver.


1900 United States presidential election in Louisiana
The 1900 United States presidential election in Louisiana took place on November 6, 1900. All contemporary 45 states were part of the 1900 United States presidential election. State voters chose eight electors to the Electoral College, which selected the president and vice president.


1900 United States presidential election in Louisiana
Louisiana was won by the Democratic nominees, former U.S. Representative William Jennings Bryan of Nebraska and his running mate Adlai Stevenson I of Illinois.

1900 United States presidential election in Maine
Maine overwhelmingly voted for the Republican nominee, President William McKinley, over the Democratic nominee, former U.S. Representative and 1896 Democratic presidential nominee William Jennings Bryan. McKinley won Maine by a margin of 27.85% in this rematch of the 1896 United States presidential election. The return of economic prosperity and recent victory in the Spanish–American War helped McKinley to score a decisive victory. Nonetheless, Bryan’s narrow victory in Knox County was the only occasion between 1884 and 1908 that a Democrat carried any of Maine’s counties, and one of only two such cases between 1856 and 1908 inclusive.


1900 United States presidential election in Maine
With 61.89% of the popular vote, Maine would be McKinley's third strongest victory in terms of percentage in the popular vote after Vermont and North Dakota.

1900 United States presidential election in Massachusetts
The 1900 United States presidential election in Massachusetts took place on November 6, 1900 as part of the 1900 United States presidential election. Voters chose 15 representatives, or electors to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.


1900 United States presidential election in Massachusetts
Massachusetts overwhelmingly voted for the Republican nominee, President William McKinley, over the Democratic nominee, former U.S. Representative and 1896 Democratic presidential nominee William Jennings Bryan. McKinley won Massachusetts by a margin of 19.74% in this rematch of the 1896 presidential election. The return of economic prosperity and recent victory in the Spanish–American War helped McKinley to score a decisive victory.


1900 United States presidential election in Massachusetts
McKinley was able to win 13 out of the 14 counties in the state of Massachusetts. The only county that went to Bryan was Suffolk County, home to the state's capital and largest city, Boston. Bryan had previously lost the county to McKinley in 1896 and would lose it again to William Howard Taft in 1908.


1900 United States presidential election in Michigan
The 1900 United States presidential election in Michigan took place on November 6, 1900, as part of the 1900 United States presidential election. Voters chose 14 representatives, or electors, to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.


1900 United States presidential election in Michigan, Background
Ever since the formation of the Republican Party, Michigan had been a Republican-leaning state due to the Lower Peninsula’s strong history of settlement by anti-slavery Yankees, who after the end of Reconstruction continued to see the need for solid Republican voting to oppose the solidly Democratic Confederate and Border States. During the Third Party System, heavily Catholic and immigrant-settled Southeast Michigan would lean towards the Democratic Party, which was opposed to the moralistic pietism of Yankee Republicans.


1900 United States presidential election in Michigan, Background
In 1892, aided by favorable demographic changes and a legislative change allocating electors by congressional district, the Democratic Party managed to carry five of Michigan’s fourteen electoral votes, and also elect a Governor and a majority to the state legislature. However, the Panic of 1893 turned expectations or hopes of Michigan becoming a swing state rudely on its head, especially when incumbent President Cleveland stood firm, sending in troops to break the Pullman Strike. In the 1894 elections, only one Democrat maintained a seat in the state legislature, a loss of seventy seats compared to the 1890 elections.


1900 United States presidential election in Michigan, Background
During the 1896 presidential election, the Methodist cabinet counties would turn towards evangelical free silver Democrat William Jennings Bryan, whilst the previously Democratic German Catholic counties opposed free silver and turned to Republican nominee William McKinley as the Church opposed free silver and Bryan’s prohibitionist leanings.


1900 United States presidential election in Michigan, Background
During the following two election cycles, the Democrats regained only a small portion of their 1894 losses in Michigan’s legislature. Both McKinley and Bryan would be re-nominated for the 1900 presidential election.


1900 United States presidential election in Michigan, Vote
Bryan campaigned in the state in early October, relying on a theme of “misrule” in the colonies of Puerto Rico and the Philippines which had been acquired in the Spanish–American War. In a speech at Muskegeon, Bryan argued that Puerto Ricans and Filipinos were taxed without representation.


1900 United States presidential election in Michigan, Vote
As McKinley’s running mate, Theodore Roosevelt did not campaign in the state, as it was viewed as safe for the Republicans. All forecasts had the state being carried by McKinley, and in some the state was regarded as so safe as not to be discussed.


1900 United States presidential election in Michigan, Vote
These predictions were borne out by the election result when McKinley carried Michigan by 58.05 percent to Bryan’s 38.96 percent and all but one county – St. Joseph in Michiana, which would prove the last time until Woodrow Wilson in 1916 when a Democrat won any Michigan county in a two-way race, for the state would become apart from Vermont the most solidly one-party Republican in the nation for the first third of the 20th century.


1900 United States presidential election in Minnesota
The 1900 United States presidential election in Minnesota took place on November 6, 1900. All contemporary 45 states were part of the 1900 United States presidential election. Minnesota voters chose nine electors to the Electoral College, which selected the president and vice president.


1900 United States presidential election in Minnesota
Minnesota was won by the Republican nominees, incumbent President William McKinley of Ohio and his running mate Theodore Roosevelt of New York. The ticket won the state by a margin of 24.52%.


1900 United States presidential election in Minnesota
With 60.21% of the popular vote, Minnesota would be McKinley's fifth strongest victory in terms of percentage in the popular vote after Vermont, North Dakota, Maine and Pennsylvania.


1900 United States presidential election in Mississippi

1900 United States presidential election in Missouri
The 1900 United States presidential election in Missouri took place on November 6, 1900. Voters chose 17 electors to represent them in the Electoral College via a popular vote pitting incumbent Republican President William McKinley against Democratic challenger William Jennings Bryan.


1900 United States presidential election in Missouri
Missouri voted for Democrat William Jennings Bryan, giving him 51.48% of the vote versus Republican William McKinley's 45.94%, a victory margin of 5.53%. While losing Missouri, McKinley nevertheless won the national election by a 6.13% margin.


1900 United States presidential election in Missouri
Notably, this was one of only two occasions in the twentieth century that Missouri voted for a losing presidential candidate, the state often considered a political bellwether in that period. Between 1904 and 2004, Missouri voted for the eventual winner in every presidential election except for 1956 (coincidentally, Missouri voted for Stevenson's grandson in that election). However that reputation began to fade after voting for losing Republican candidates for two elections in a row in 2008 and 2012.


1900 United States presidential election in Montana
The 1900 United States presidential election in Montana took place on November 6, 1900 as part of the 1900 United States presidential election. Voters chose three representatives, or electors to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.

Bryan won Montana by a landslide margin of 18.64% in this rematch of the 1896 presidential election. The return of economic prosperity and recent victory in the Spanish–American War helped McKinley more than double his votes from the previous election, but he still lost decisively.


1900 United States presidential election in Montana
Bryan had previously defeated McKinley in the state four years earlier but would later lose the state to William Howard Taft in 1908.


1900 United States presidential election in Montana

McKinley won New Hampshire by a margin of 20.91% in this rematch of the 1896 presidential election. The return of economic prosperity and recent victory in the Spanish–American War helped McKinley to score a decisive victory.


1900 United States presidential election in New Jersey
The 1900 United States presidential election in New Jersey took place on November 6, 1900. Voters chose 10 representatives, or electors to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.


1900 United States presidential election in New Jersey
New Jersey overwhelmingly voted for the Republican nominee, President William McKinley, over the Democratic nominee, former U.S. Representative and 1896 Democratic presidential nominee William Jennings Bryan. McKinley won New Jersey by a margin of 14.17% in this rematch of the 1896 presidential election. The return of economic prosperity and recent victory in the Spanish–American War helped McKinley to score a decisive victory.


1900 United States presidential election in New York
The 1900 United States presidential election in New York took place on November 6, 1900. All contemporary 45 states were part of the 1900 United States presidential election. Voters chose 36 electors to the Electoral College, which selected the president and vice president.


1900 United States presidential election in New York
New York was won by the Republican nominees, incumbent President William McKinley of Ohio and his running mate Governor Theodore Roosevelt of New York. McKinley and Roosevelt defeated the Democratic nominees, former Congressman and 1896 presidential nominee William Jennings Bryan of Nebraska and his running mate former Vice President Adlai Stevenson I of Illinois. Also in the running was the Socialist Party candidate, Eugene V. Debs, who ran with Job Harriman.


1900 United States presidential election in New York
McKinley carried New York State with 53.10% of the vote to Bryan’s 43.83%, a victory margin of 9.27%.


1900 United States presidential election in New York
New York weighed in for this election as about three percent more Republican than the national average.


1900 United States presidential election in New York
The 1900 election was a direct re-match between McKinley and Bryan who had run against each other four years earlier in 1896. While New York would continue its Republican dominance of the Fourth Party System and that McKinley had slightly improved on his national margin, the Empire State swung heavily in Bryan's favor in 1900. In 1896, McKinley had defeated Bryan in the state by 18.85%, sweeping every county in the state except Schoharie County, including rare Republican victories in New York City.


1900 United States presidential election in New York
McKinley’s 1900 margin of victory in New York State was less than half of his 1896 margin, primarily due to dramatic Democratic gains in New York City. While in 1896 Bryan had lost New York City by about 60,000 votes, in 1900 Bryan won a majority of over 30,000 votes in New York City, winning Manhattan, the Bronx, Queens, and Staten Island. Bryan would win New York City again against William Howard Taft in 1908. New York City would not vote Republican again until the Republican landslides of 1920 and 1924, and would subsequently become a reliably Democratic bastion in every election that followed.


1900 United States presidential election in North Carolina
The 1900 United States presidential election in North Carolina took place on November 6, 1900. All contemporary 45 states were part of the 1900 United States presidential election. North Carolina voters chose 11 electors to the Electoral College, which selected the president and vice president.


1900 United States presidential election in North Carolina, Background and vote
In the period between this election and that of 1896, North Carolina had seen the overthrow of its Populist/Republican fusion government by white Democrats in the 1898 Wilmington coup d‘etat. Following this momentous event, the state would see a radical restructuring of its politics due to the disenfranchisement of its large African-American population, who had provided a substantial – but unlike many Deep South states not overwhelming – proportion of Republican Party support ever since that party first appeared in the state following Reconstruction.


1900 United States presidential election in North Carolina, Background and vote
At the same time, the state’s Republican Party, now confined to the mountain and northwestern Piedmont areas that had resisted secession and viewed the Democratic Party as a “war party”, would turn almost overnight towards a “lily-white” strategy based on attempting to appeal to businessmen who found the Democratic Party too anti-business and too favourable to using of low-cost black labor instead of whites. The GOP had to some extent followed this strategy in the years before black disenfranchisement because it wanted to appeal to the state’s budding industrialists, who were critical of Democratic policies favoring free trade over high tariffs.


1900 United States presidential election in North Carolina, Background and vote
Despite the radical changes in the electorate over this and he following election, there was relatively little change in the overall statewide vote in a rematch between Democrat William Jennings Bryan and incumbent Republican President McKinley. Although McKinley lost almost all the GOP’s black belt support as its black voters could no longer vote (such as Northampton County, a majority black county which has not voted for a Republican presidential candidate since the 1896 election), he did make extensive gains in majority-white and formerly Democratic regions of the Piedmont and secessionist parts of the mountains.


1900 United States presidential election in North Carolina, Background and vote
Consequently, thirty-four of the state’s ninety-seven counties switched parties despite a minimal statewide vote share change. McKinley was the first Republican to carry Alexander County, Caldwell County, Graham County, Lincoln County, Macon County, Swain County and Yancey County in historically secessionist parts of the mountains and northwestern Piedmont, and also Orange County in the eastern Piedmont.


1900 United States presidential election in North Carolina, Background and vote
In addition, Republicans made strong and persistent gains in historically secessionist Sampson County, home of Populist Senator Marion Butler, a key architect of both the Populist-Republican fusion at the state level in North Carolina and the Populist-Democratic fusion at the national level in 1896 with Bryan's nomination. In 1896 Sampson County overwhelmingly voted for Bryan as the Populist fusion candidate, but with the backlash to the overthrow of the Populist-Republican fusion state government, Sampson County swung heavily to the Republican McKinley, as a 67.63%-30.82% Bryan lead over McKinley in 1896 became a 58.64%-36.82% victory for McKinley over Bryan in 1900. Sampson County would remain an isolated island of Republican support down east for decades.


1900 United States presidential election in North Dakota
The 1900 United States presidential election in North Dakota took place on November 6, 1900. All contemporary 45 states were part of the 1900 United States presidential election. Voters chose three electors to the Electoral College, which selected the president and vice president.


1900 United States presidential election in North Dakota
North Dakota was won by the Republican nominees, incumbent President William McKinley of Ohio and his running mate Theodore Roosevelt of New York. McKinley won the state but a margin of 26.59%.


1900 United States presidential election in North Dakota
With 62.12% of the popular vote, North Dakota would be McKinley's second strongest victory in terms of percentage in the popular vote after Vermont. McKinley had previously won the state four years earlier, but more than doubled his margin from 1896.


1900 United States presidential election in Ohio
The 1900 United States presidential election in Ohio was held on November 6, 1900 as part of the 1900 United States presidential election. State voters chose 23 electors to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.


1900 United States presidential election in Ohio
Ohio was won by the Republican Party candidate, incumbent President and Ohio native son William McKinley with 52.30% of the popular vote. The Democratic Party candidate, William Jennings Bryan, garnered 45.66% of the popular vote.


1900 United States presidential election in Oregon
The 1900 United States presidential election in Oregon took place on November 6, 1900. All contemporary 45 states were part of the 1900 United States presidential election. Oregon voters chose four electors to the Electoral College, which selected the president and vice president.


1900 United States presidential election in Oregon
A return to prosperity, continued American expansion in the Philippines, and the fading of the Populist revolt that had spread into Southern Oregon during the previous decade ensured that incumbent President William McKinley would not have any trouble carrying the state.


1900 United States presidential election in Oregon
Indeed, the Populist voters during the 1890s from southern and Eastern Oregon – who had been historically Democratic since before statehood when they were substantially settled by southerners from the Ozarks and Appalachia – turned in substantial numbers to McKinley, so that Jackson County and also Umatilla County voted for a Republican presidential candidate for the first time ever and Josephine County for only the second after 1888.


1900 United States presidential election in Oregon
These results were also replicated in lower-level elections, so that at state level Oregon would remain, with a very brief New Deal interlude, a one-party state dominated by the Republican Party until the “Revolution of 1954”. Consequently, this would prove the last time until Franklin D. Roosevelt’s 1932 landslide that any Democrat other than Woodrow Wilson carried any of Oregon's counties in a Presidential election.


1900 United States presidential election in Pennsylvania
The 1900 United States presidential election in Pennsylvania took place on November 6, 1900 as part of the 1900 United States presidential election. Voters chose 32 representatives, or electors to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.


1900 United States presidential election in Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania overwhelmingly voted for the Republican nominee, President William McKinley, over the Democratic nominee, former U.S. Representative and 1896 Democratic presidential nominee William Jennings Bryan. McKinley won Pennsylvania by a landslide margin of 24.31% in this rematch of the 1896 United States presidential election. The return of economic prosperity and recent victory in the Spanish–American War helped McKinley to score a decisive victory.


1900 United States presidential election in Pennsylvania
With 60.74% of the popular vote, Pennsylvania would be McKinley's fourth strongest victory in terms of percentage in the popular vote after Vermont, North Dakota and Maine.


1900 United States presidential election in Rhode Island
The 1900 United States presidential election in Rhode Island took place on November 6, 1900 as part of the 1900 United States presidential election. Voters chose four representatives, or electors to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.


1900 United States presidential election in Rhode Island
Rhode Island overwhelmingly voted for the Republican nominee, President William McKinley, over the Democratic nominee, former U.S. Representative and 1896 Democratic presidential nominee William Jennings Bryan. McKinley won Rhode Island by a margin of 24.7% in this rematch of the 1896 presidential election. The return of economic prosperity and recent victory in the Spanish–American War helped McKinley to score a decisive victory.


1900 United States presidential election in South Carolina
The 1900 United States presidential election in South Carolina took place on November 6, 1900. Voters chose 9 representatives, or electors, to the Electoral College, who voted for the President and Vice President.


1900 United States presidential election in South Carolina
South Carolina overwhelmingly voted for the Democratic nominee, former U.S. Representative and 1896 Democratic presidential nominee William Jennings Bryan, over the Republican nominee, President William McKinley. Bryan won South Carolina by a landslide margin of 85.92% in this rematch of the 1896 presidential election. Despite McKinley’s decisive victory nationwide as a result of the return of economic prosperity and recent victory in the Spanish–American War, South Carolina proved to be his weakest state, due to the nearly complete disfranchisement of the black majority that was the party’s sole support in the state.

1900 United States presidential election in Tennessee
The 1900 United States presidential election in Tennessee took place on November 6, 1900. All contemporary 45 states were part of the 1900 United States presidential election. Tennessee voters chose 12 electors to the Electoral College, which selected the president and vice president.


1900 United States presidential election in Tennessee, Background
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.


1900 United States presidential election in Tennessee, Background
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, blacks and Unionist whites combined to give a competitive political system for two decades, although in this era the Republicans could only capture statewide offices when the Democratic Party was divided on this issue of payment of state debt.


1900 United States presidential election in Tennessee, Background
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 that decade by instituting in counties with significant black populations a secret ballot that prevented illiterates voting, and a poll tax throughout the state, which cut turnout by at least a third in the 1890s. Although the poll tax was supposedly relaxed or paid by party officials in Unionist Republican areas, turnout would continue to decline seriously in later years, although overall presidential partisan percentages did not change substantially as the GOP attempted to attract Democrats who would benefit from tariffs.


1900 United States presidential election in Tennessee, Background
For the 1900 presidential election, a rematch of the fiercely contested 1896 campaign, neither Republican William McKinley nor Democrat William Jennings Bryan campaigned in Tennessee, and by the fourth week of October the state was generally contested, as it had consistently gone since 1872, to the Democrats.


1900 United States presidential election in Tennessee, Vote
Bryan ultimately carried Tennessee by a margin of 8.08 percent, an increase of 2.32 percent on his 1896 margin over McKinley, a small change but a substantial one given the extremely deep partisan loyalties of white Tennesseeans. His increased margin reflected more complete black disenfranchisement and reduced suspicion of his free-silver policies in the major urban areas, which saw him carry normally Republican Knox County.


1900 United States presidential election in Texas
The 1900 United States presidential election in Texas took place on November 6, 1900. All contemporary 45 states were part of the 1900 United States presidential election. State voters chose 15 electors to the Electoral College, which selected the president and vice president.

1900 United States presidential election in Utah
The 1900 United States presidential election in Utah took place on November 6, 1900, as part of the 1900 United States presidential election held in each of the forty-five contemporary states. State voters chose three representatives, or electors to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.


1900 United States presidential election in Utah, Background
During its years as a territory the Republican Party's ancestral hostility to the polygamy of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church), whose members settled Utah and have dominated the region ever since, meant that Utah territorial politics until 1891 was dominated by the Mormon-hierarchy-controlled "People's Party" and the anti-Mormon "Liberal Party". Those Mormons who did affiliate with national parties generally were Democrats, who lacked moral qualms associated with polygamy and slavery – although the Liberal Party did have allies within the GOP.


1900 United States presidential election in Utah, Background
In order to achieve statehood, however, the LDS Church disbanded the "People's Party" in 1891 and most LDS members moved towards the Democratic Party. In Utah's statehood year – 1896 – Democrat/Populist William Jennings Bryan, whose "free silver" platform was immensely attractive to a state with large silver reserves, won the Mormon State by a five-to-one margin. However, by Bryan's 1900 rematch with incumbent Republican President McKinley, the Republican Party's ancestral hostility to Mormonism was beginning to dissipate, and Republican National Committee Chairman "Dollar Mark" Hanna was able to persuade the Mormon hierarchy that Bryan's policies – financial and otherwise – were unsound.


1900 United States presidential election in Utah, Background
Consequently, although the LDS Church had not established the links to the GOP that they were after the Utah legislature elected Reed Smoot, those Utah voters who had supported Bryan overwhelmingly in 1896 deserted him to a degree that narrowly proved sufficient to give the state's three electoral votes to McKinley. Apart from Washington County in the Dixie region, McKinley was competitive everywhere and in Kane County – later a famous Republican bastion – he received over seventy percent. This remains easily the closest presidential election in Utah history, and with the state voting essentially as the nation did, it was decisive in placing the Mormon State in the mainstream of US politics, where Utah remained until becoming a Republican bastion in the 1950s and 1960s.


1900 United States presidential election in Vermont
The 1900 United States presidential election in Vermont took place on November 6, 1900 as part of the 1900 United States presidential election. Voters chose four representatives, or electors to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.


1900 United States presidential election in Vermont
Vermont overwhelmingly voted for the Republican nominee, President William McKinley, over the Democratic nominee, former U.S. Representative and 1896 Democratic presidential nominee William Jennings Bryan. McKinley won Vermont by a landslide margin of 52.87% in this rematch of the 1896 presidential election. The return of economic prosperity and recent victory in the Spanish–American War helped McKinley to score a decisive victory.


1900 United States presidential election in Vermont
Four years earlier, McKinley had won Vermont with 80.08% of the popular vote, making it his strongest victory in the 1896 presidential election in terms of percentage in the popular vote as well as the best performance of any presidential candidate in the Green Mountain State to date. The Green Mountain State would once again be McKinley's strongest state in popular vote percentage, though with a slightly reduced margin of 75.73%.


1900 United States presidential election in Virginia
The 1900 United States presidential election in Virginia took place on November 6, 1900, as part of the 1900 United States presidential election. Voters chose 12 representatives, or electors to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.

1900 United States presidential election in Washington (state)
Washington was won by the Republican nominees, incumbent President William McKinley of Ohio and his running mate Theodore Roosevelt of New York. A return to prosperity, continued American expansion in the Philippines, and the fading of the Populist revolt of the previous decade ensured that incumbent President McKinley would not have any trouble carrying the state.

1900 United States presidential election in Wisconsin
The 1900 United States presidential election in Wisconsin was held on November 6, 1900 as part of the 1900 United States presidential election. State voters chose 12 electors to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.


1900 United States presidential election in Wisconsin, Background
Wisconsin during the Third Party System was a Republican-leaning but competitive state whereby historically anti-Civil War German Catholic counties stood opposed to highly pro-war and firmly Republican Yankee areas. However, following the Populist movement, whose inflationary monetary policies were opposed by almost all urban classes and viewed as dangerously radical by rural German Catholics, Wisconsin’s upper classes, along with the majority of workers who followed them, completely fled from William Jennings Bryan’s agrarian and free silver sympathies.


1900 United States presidential election in Wisconsin, Background
Although in 1892 Grover Cleveland had become the first Democrat to carry the state since the formation of the Republican Party, in 1896 Wisconsin would prove Republican William McKinley’s strongest state outside the Northeast, as Bryan’s free silver monetary policy gained little support from dairy farmers who were less affected by drought or debt than wheat growers.


1900 United States presidential election in Wisconsin, Background
Wisconsin would henceforth become almost a one-party polity dominated by the Republican Party. The Democratic Party became entirely uncompetitive outside the previously anti-Yankee areas adjoining Lake Michigan in the eastern part of the state. In response to Democratic strength weakening severely after 1894, however, challenges within the state Republican Party from Robert M. La Follette would emerge rapidly, with the progressive reformer being elected Governor coincident with the presidential election.


1900 United States presidential election in Wisconsin, Vote
Despite McKinley’s large win in 1896, Wisconsin was considered doubtful at the beginning of the 1900 campaign. However, by the middle of October expert opinion suggested strongly that McKinley would carry the state, and that the state’s Democrats were abandoning nominee William Jennings Bryan for the second consecutive election. This was confirmed by polls just before Election Day, and as it turned out McKinley essentially repeated his three-to-two success of 1896, winning by 24,09 points and carrying all but four counties.

1900 West Derbyshire by-election
The West Derbyshire by-election, 1900 was a parliamentary by-election held for the House of Commons of the United Kingdom constituency of West Derbyshire on 11 December 1900.


1900 West Derbyshire by-election, Vacancy
Under the provisions of the Succession to the Crown Act of 1707 and a number of subsequent Acts, MPs appointed to certain ministerial and legal offices were at this time required to seek re-election. The vacancy in West Derbyshire was caused by the appointment of the sitting Liberal Unionist Member of Parliament (MP), Victor Cavendish to become Treasurer of the Household, a formal title held one of the government’s Deputy Chief Whips in the House of Commons.


1900 West Derbyshire by-election, Candidates
Victor Cavendish had held the seat since he inherited it from his father Lord Edward Cavendish at a by-election in 1891. At the previous general elections in 1895 and in 1900 just a few weeks earlier, he had been unopposed and clearly the Liberals were unprepared with a candidate and reluctant to contest such a safe seat at a by-election so soon after a general election. Cavendish fought the seat again in the Liberal Unionist interest.


1900 West Derbyshire by-election, The result
The writ of election was received at Derby on 5 December and nomination day was set for 11 December. There being no other nominations Cavendish was returned unopposed. He held the post of Treasurer of the Household in the Unionist government until 1903.

1900 Westchester County tornado
The 1900 Westchester County tornado was an intense, but short-lived tornado that caused significant damage near the city of New Rochelle, New York.


1900 Westchester County tornado, Synopsis
During the afternoon of Tuesday, August 7, 1900, a strong tornado estimated at 40 ft (12 m) wide, struck the city of New Rochelle, New York along a 4 miles (6.4 km) path. The thunderstorm that produced the tornado tracked slightly north of due west through the area and was followed by a second strong thunderstorm that tracked northeastward. Intense lightning was associated with the two storms, resulting in several fires.


1900 Westchester County tornado, Impact
Throughout the city, trees were snapped and defoliated, signs were torn from the ground and tossed around and numerous buildings were damaged or destroyed. Airborne debris shattered windows in a large number of structures. In addition to the tornado, intense lightning was observed, many of which struck buildings, igniting fires. Two buildings were destroyed in the fires caused by the storm. The most significant fire took place on the Livingston Disbrow estate where the barns were struck. Nearly all of New Rochelle's firemen were dispatched to the estate located about 1.5 miles (2.4 km) from the city.


1900 Westchester County tornado, Impact
By the time they arrived on scene, the barn was completely ablaze and threatening to ignite the nearby carriage house where Mrs. Charles Disbrow was. While attending to the Disbrow fire, a second alarm was relayed to the firefighters about another house fire on the other side of the city. Two of the firemen who didn't attend the Disbrow fire gathered volunteers to put out the new fire. However, by the time they reached the building, it had been completely destroyed by the fire.

The firefighters later reported that there would have been very little they could have done to save the building had they arrived before it burned to the ground as there was no nearby hydrant. Another lightning strike blew the chimney clear off one home and damaged the roof. The City Bank Building in New Rochelle was struck and caught fire; however, a janitor at the building was able to put out the fire.

The final notable lightning strike hit a trolley car near an electrical pole, the lightning jumped from the car to the pole and killed a dog standing at the pole. At the Disbrow estate, losses were reported to be up to $15,000 (1900 USD). High winds caught people walking in the streets off-guard, knocking several down and pelting many with debris; none of the injuries were reported to be serious.


1900 Western Australian floods
The 1900 Western Australian floods were a series of flooding events from March to May 1900 that affected large areas of Western Australia, primarily in the Pilbara and Gascoyne regions, though it extended to cover most of the state except the more humid Kimberley and South West regions.


1900 Western Australian floods
The flooding had its beginnings in heavy rain in March 1900 over a very broad area extending from North West Cape to the southeastern corner of the state. It was in the middle of April over the Easter long weekend, however, that flooding began in earnest, and at the end of the month the majority of the normally arid parts of the state were completely inundated: by Easter Monday, all houses in Roebourne were completely surrounded by water from the Harding River.


1900 Western Australian floods
During April and May, the rain was associated with what was described in the press of the time as "a gentle easterly flow" but today is recognised to be a northwest cloudband. There were several of these cloudbands during the month, and the result was some astonishing rainfall totals, for instance Wiluna received 527.1 millimetres (20.8 in) and Cossack (near Port Hedland) as much as 636.4 millimetres (25.1 in).


1900 Western Australian floods
The heaviest rainfall of all occurred in the Pilbara during the middle of the month, and resulted in rivers such as the Gascoyne, Ashburton and Murchison overflowing their banks for extraordinarily sustained periods. (Unfortunately, there were no gauges at the time so we do not know what the exact heights were).


1900 Western Australian floods
So heavy indeed was the rainfall that the normally arid "North West" (as the region was known at the time) was completely boggy and the primitive horse-drawn carts could not traverse the country not only in April, but well into May, especially as another major rainband affected the State early that month, with Onslow recording as much as 9.31 inches (236 mm) in a day on the third. The busy Easter mail services were most severely hit of all, with the mail vans from Perth bogged down at Peak Hill after crossing a Gascoyne River that was supposedly 3 miles (4.8 km) wide as the rain extended at the end of Easter to the Murchison River’s basin.


1900 Western Australian floods
Wash-outs on the telegraph line with which the remote regions affected by the floods communicated with Perth were indeed not repaired until well into June, a month after flooding peaked in the Pilbara and Gascoyne and had spread eastward to the goldfields of Western Australia.


1900 Western Australian floods
In the interim, communication about the flooding was delayed almost uniformly by at least three or four days, aided by a severe famine and shortage of food for pack horses and salt lakes in the Goldfields such as Lake Carnegie and Lake Maitland filled for probably the only time in centuries - they were never seen with any water between the first European settlement of Western Australia and these floods were thus unprecedented for an extremely long period of time.


1900 Western Conference football season
The 1900 Western Conference football season was the fifth season of college football played by the member schools of the Western Conference (later known as the Big Ten Conference) and was a part of the 1900 college football season. This was the first season the league expanded, as Indiana and Iowa began competing for the conference title.

Williams, compiled a 10–0–2 record, shut out nine opponents, and outscored all opponents by a combined total of 299 to 23. Iowa, under head coach Alden Knipe, compiled a 7–0–1 record and led the conference in scoring offense with an average of 38.9 points per game.

1900 Western University of Pennsylvania football team
The 1900 Western University of Pennsylvania football team was an American football team that represented Western University of Pennsylvania (now known as the University of Pittsburgh) as an independent during the 1900 college football season.


1900 Western University of Pennsylvania football team, Season recap
The football coaching at the Western University of Pennsylvania continued its rather strange revolving door policy again for the 1900 football season. On July 15th The Pittsburg Post headline stated "Jackson to Coach W.U.P. "Three days later the Pittsburgh Press reported that Dr. Roy Jackson would coach the D.C. & A.C. team and play in all their games. The WUPs would be able to practice with the red and black and get some coaching from Dr. Jackson as time permitted. The Western University would have a strong team to scrimmage against and hopefully get some decent instruction from Coach Jackson.


1900 Western University of Pennsylvania football team, Season recap
The first practice took place on September 3rd and all candidates were eligible for the Varsity. There would be no sophomore unit in 1900. Also, the lettermen would be the only students to wear the "P", which was an added incentive to go out for the team. Game days, the Universities would be under the direction of their captain Richard Wallace. Surprisingly, this situation was very beneficial to the WUP eleven and they were very pleased to receive the expertise of Dr. Roy Jackson. Their final record was not a true measure of how much better they performed than they had in years past. In its first and only season under head coach Roy Jackson, the team compiled a 5–4 record and outscored opponents by a total of 110 to 33.


1900 Western University of Pennsylvania football team, Game summaries, at Penn State
On a rainy Saturday, the 29th of September, the Western University of Pennsylvania football team opened their season at the Driving Park grounds in Bellefonte, Pennsylvania, against the State College eleven. In the first half (20 minutes), the WUP contingent held their own against the heavier Staties. After 15 minutes of back-and-forth possessions dominated by line plunges, fullback Cummings of State College managed to score a touchdown. Martin was successful on the goal kick after, and the score at halftime was 6-0 in favor of State College.

After an exchange of possessions and WUP fumbles, the Staties offense found themselves on the WUP 10-yard line. Two plays later, State guard Scholl scored. Martin was again successful with the goal kick after and the final score was a respectable 12-0. Coach Jackson was impressed with the play of his charges.

1900 Western University of Pennsylvania football team, Game summaries, Duquesne Country and Athletic Club
On Tuesday, October 9, the WUP eleven played a game against the team (D.C. & A.C.) it had been practicing against for the past two weeks. Also, they were playing against their own coach (Dr. Roy Jackson), who played left halfback for the Duquesnes in addition to coaching them. The University eleven fooled the experts and played a strong game against the heavier more experienced "pro" team. The Duquesnes scored on a line plunge by their guard Smith in the first half.


1900 Western University of Pennsylvania football team, Game summaries, Duquesne Country and Athletic Club
The goal kick after was unsuccessful and the score stood 5-0 in favor of D.C. & A.C. There was no scoring in the second half as the Duquesnes were able to move the ball against the Universities but would fumble and the WUP would recover. The University eleven could not move the ball consistently on offense even though, they changed their normal signals to confuse Coach Jackson. WUP fullback Edmund Graham was kept busy punting the ball out of danger. The Western U. team gained a lot of confidence for their next game against Grove City College.

1900 Western University of Pennsylvania football team, Game summaries, Grove City
On October 19, the Grove City College eleven came to Exposition Park to take on the WUP. Pregame drama arose when Western U. captain Wallace argued that Grove City coach Lowrey was a professional and should not be in the lineup. Grove City countered that since the WUP squad had played a game against the D.C.& A.C. their argument was moot. Coach Lowrey played. On the opening drive, the WUP backs were able to move the ball steadily downfield. Finally, halfback Beach scored the touchdown on a five yard dash around the end.

1900 Western University of Pennsylvania football team, Game summaries, Thiel
On November 1, the Thiel College football team came south from Greenville, Pennsylvania, to Exposition Park to battle the WUP. There was some concern with the University lineup because the Buchtel game was so physical. Starters Barclay, Paul, Graham and captain Wallace were all injured so the lineup had to be adjusted. The concern turned out to be unfounded as the WUP contingent ran roughshod over the Thiel eleven and won the game by a 47-0 margin. Five different WUP players scored touchdowns – Hockensmith (2), Martin (2), Beach (2), Sterrett and Wheeler.


1900 Western University of Pennsylvania football team, Game summaries, Thiel
Martin made the longest run of the game on his 43-yard touchdown jaunt. Thiel only had the ball four times on offense and was unable to sustain any offense. However, Thiel never gave up and played hard to the bitter end. The WUP offense advanced the ball easily and lost it once on downs and once on a fumble. The large crowd of noisy students and bands helped make the day a total success.

1900 Western University of Pennsylvania football team, Game summaries, Westminster (PA)
With the WUP football team sporting a three game win streak, the student body was anxiously awaiting the November 14th tussle with Westminster College at Exposition Park. Both the Dental and Medical Departments arrived with a brass band. The Collegiate Department was also well represented. Both teams agreed to pregame measures to avoid any dispute similar to the 1899 game. The WUP fans were schooled on the proper behavior to ensure a great game of football. So, with at least six hundred noise making students in attendance, there was total silence when Westminster had the ball on offense.


1900 Western University of Pennsylvania football team, Game summaries, Westminster (PA)
No fans were allowed on the field during the game. The guaranteed fifty per cent gate receipt was paid two days before the game. Surprisingly, the day before the game Westminster decided they wanted sixty percent of the receipts . Manager William Cullers reluctantly agreed so the game could be played. The WUP offense received the opening kick on their twenty-five yard line and moved it to the thirty-five before turning it over on downs to the Titans. Witherspoon and Edmundson of Westminster were able to penetrate the WUP defense for good yardage and Edmundson finally scored from the one.


1900 Western University of Pennsylvania football team, Game summaries, Westminster (PA)
The goal kick after was unsuccessful. After alternating possessions the WUP offense moved the ball to the Westminster six yard line and lost the ball on downs. A holding penalty gave the ball back to the WUP offense but William Sterrett missed a field goal. The WUP defense regained possession and the offense advanced the ball steadily downfield. Abram Barclay raced the final twenty yards for the touchdown. Wheeler's goal kick after was unsuccessful and the score was tied 5-5 at halftime. The WUP eleven controlled the second half of play to the delight of the crowd.

1900 Western University of Pennsylvania football team, Game summaries, Shadyside Academy
The closest the WUP offense could get to scoring in the first half was the four yard line, but the staunch Academy defense kept them from scoring.
