The 1888 United States presidential election in New Hampshire took place on November 6, 1888, as part of the 1888 United States presidential election . Voters chose four representatives, or electors to the Electoral College , who voted for president and vice president .
New Hampshire voted for the Republican nominee, Benjamin Harrison , over the Democratic nominee, incumbent President Grover Cleveland . Harrison won the state by a narrow margin of 2.50%.
This would be the last election when bellwether Coös County in the far north voted for a losing presidential candidate until voting for Hubert Humphrey over Richard Nixon in 1968 . It would also be the last election when a Democratic presidential candidate carried Merrimack and Rockingham Counties until 1912 , when the Republican Party was divided between Progressive Theodore Roosevelt and conservative incumbent Taft , and the last when those two gave a majority to the Democrat until Lyndon Johnson in 1964 .[ 1] Harrison was the first Republican to ever win without Rockingham County.
