1888 CE to 1899 CE

The incumbent U.S. president,  the mustachioed Grover Cleveland, is defeated in 1888 by the bearded Benjamin Harrison.

Cleveland returns to the fray in 1892, however, and defeats his old rival, together with the Populist candidate, the mustachioed James A. Weaver.

William McKinley, the clean-shaven Republican nominee in the 1896 election, defeats the equally beardless William Jennings Bryan, the Democratic and Populist candidate.
