Blaine refused to disavow Buchard's remark. That refusal became a major campaign issue, and "Rum, Romanism, and rebellion" became a negative campaign slogan. Blaine lost to Grover Cleveland. The difference turned out to be a 1,000 vote loss of New York State whose large Irish Catholic population went against Blaine.
