Governor Election Ballot

“Law and Order” Prox -1846 – This election failed to give a majority to any candidate. This was due to the fact that the Liberty (abolition) party candidate Edward Harris gained few but sufficient enough votes to cause no candidate to receive a majority. Byron Diman, the Law and Order candidate, was elected in grand committee of the General Assembly by a vote of 61 to 39. 21.0 cm X 13.6 cm
