Illinois was won by the Democratic nominees, former President Grover Cleveland of New York and his running mate Adlai Stevenson I of Illinois. This marked the first time a Democratic candidate won Illinois since 1856 when James Buchanan carried the state. This makes Illinois one of three states (along with California and Wisconsin) that Cleveland lost in his first two electoral bids but won in his third.
