Contents

Maryland was won by the Republican nominees, former Ohio Governor William McKinley and his running mate Garret Hobart of New Jersey. They defeated the Democratic nominee, former U.S. Representative from Nebraska William Jennings Bryan and his running mate Arthur Sewall. McKinley won the state by a margin of 13.11%.

This was the first time that a Republican presidential candidate won Maryland since Abraham Lincoln in 1864 and the Democrats would not win the state's popular vote until Woodrow Wilson in 1912.

In this election, Maryland voted 8.8% more Republican than the nation at-large. [1]

Bryan would lose Maryland to McKinley again four years later. In 1908, he would lose the popular vote to William Howard Taft but would win the electoral vote.
