I don't have one handy, but my memory is that a regular old almanac should
list that. Checking one online
(http://www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0781450.html) shows that Alson J. Streeter
was the presidential candidate and Charles E. Cunningham the vice
presidential for the Union Labor in 1888 received a total of 146,935
popular votes and no electoral votes. My assumption is that on the state
ballot they were called by a slightly different party name.

Unfortunately, the candidate names are not listed. I have not been able to find any sources that include the names of the Socialist Labor candidates.
