1890 United States House of Representatives elections
The U.S. House election, 1890 was an election for the United States House of Representatives in 1890 which occurred in the middle of President Benjamin Harrison's term. A poor economy and a lack of support for Mckinley's steep tariff act, which favored large industires at the expense of consumers, led to a sharp defeat for Harrison's Republican Party, giving a majority to the Democratic Party and presaging Harrison's defeat in 1892.
