For the second time in U.S. history, what winner of the 1888 election defeated his rival despite losing the popular vote?

Cleveland had incited dissatisfaction when he advocated for a reduction in the protective tariff during his State of the Union Address. The Republicans fundraised aggressively and deployed paid, nonresident voters in Indiana, swinging that state. Despite Cleveland's 100,000 more votes, he lost the electoral college 233 to 168. Harrison would be defeated by Cleveland four years later, making Grover the first to serve non-consecutive terms.
