1884 United States presidential election (A new Constitution)

The 1884 United States presidential election was the 26th quadrennial presidential election, held on Tuesday, November 3, 1884. The Republican nominee,Senator George Edmunds, lost to the Democratic nominee, governor of New York Grover Cleveland,the Pro-Green nominee, President [w:b|Walton Chester]], and the Anti-Elite nominee Henry L. Kerry. This election was the most divided election until 1968. The issues in this election were Chinese immigration, tariffs, 2nd war of Lakota, and the Chicago massacre. Chester assumed the presidency when Hayes resigned in 1882 due to scandals involving him giving out bribes. Chester was 72 years old making him the oldest president up to that point. During the campaign Cleveland attacked Chester for being to progressive and not doing anything to stop the rich from rioting. Cleveland attacked Edmund for being to racist and naive. Days before the election Cleveland planned on ending the 2nd war of Lakota. As expected Cleveland won the election.
