The illustration in Threads of History shows Blaine then Logan, while here the order is reversed..<br> <br> The Presidential election of 1884 saw Blaine and Logan running against Democrats Grover Cleveland and Thomas A. Hendricks. The anti-monopoly Greenbacks and the Prohibition Party also ran candidates though neither drew any electoral votes. The election saw a Democrat win the White House for the first time since 1856. Cleveland and Hendricks received 219 electoral votes to Blaine and Logan’s 182. Only slightly over 50,000 votes separated the two parties.
