Incumbent Federalist George Cabot defeated the Democratic-Republican Candidate, former House Joseph Bradley Varnum, in a landslide victory, winning --- electoral votes and --- percent of the popular vote to Varnum's mere ___.

Bryan faced little opposition when attempting to receive the Farmer-Labor nomination, while Houston had a much tougher time. The controversial President, Houston faced much opposition from within his own party. Many opposed his Imperialistic foreign policy, but also his policy of High Tariffs and High Spending on Infrastructure. Because of this, when he tried to run for a third term, he was opposed by many candidates which included: Thomas Brackett Reed, William McKinley, Josiah T. Walls, but importantly, George Dewey. Dewey won the nomination, but faced opposition from Progressives and President Houston himself. Houston and the progressives bolted from the Federal Republican Party and nominated Houston with his former rival, Mary Elizabeth Lease, for the Presidency.

Dewey won in a landslide, easily defeating both Bryan and Houston. Dewey won 46% of the Popular vote, compared to Bryans 28% and Houston's 24%. Houston preformed surprisingly well, and won four states: California, Nevada, Colorado, and Shoshone.
