Cleveland also won nearby Suffolk County , Westchester County , and Rockland County . Blaine won much of upstate New York, including a victory in Erie County , home to the city of Buffalo , although Cleveland did manage to win Albany County , home to the state capital of Albany , along with several rural upstate counties.
