Nevada was won by the Democratic nominees, former U.S. Representative William Jennings Bryan of Nebraska and his running mate Adlai Stevenson I of Illinois . They defeated the Republican nominees, incumbent President William McKinley and his running mate Theodore Roosevelt of New York . Bryan won the state by a margin of 24.5% and carried all 14 counties in the state for the second consecutive election.
