Governor Election Ballot, Whig Ticket

Whig Ticket 1854 – The Whigs nominated William Hoppin, as they had the previous year, to head its state ticket. Hoppin won the election but other Whig members on the ticket faced serious competition by the Democrats and a Temperance party ticket which also had Hoppin as its candidate for governor.
