Reading the 1892 result in Indiana

Indiana backed Cleveland (Democratic) in the 1892 presidential election, casting 15 electoral votes for the ticket. That placed Indiana with the eventual winner: Grover Cleveland went on to take the presidency, and Indiana was part of his column.

The result flipped Indiana away from the Republican it had supported in 1888. The region divided — Illinois and Kentucky joined Indiana for the Democratic ticket, while Ohio and Michigan did not. Over its 53 recorded presidential cycles, Indiana has backed the Republican party more than any other — 32 times in all. The vote fell within the Gilded Age — Industrialization, narrow margins, and patronage politics.

Nationally, Grover Cleveland finished with 277 of the 444 electoral votes to Benjamin Harrison's 145. Grover Cleveland led the national popular vote with 46.02% of the ballots cast.
