Governor Representative Ballot: Republican Ticket

1833 Republican, Administrative and Farmers’ Prox – The Democratic Republicans, consisting of a coalition of Democrats and Republicans, nominated a state ticket headed by John Brown Francis while the National Republican ticket was headed by Gov. Lemuel Arnold. The Democratic Republicans won with the largest turnout of votes in 15 years. The large turnout in some way may have been the results of the previous year’s stalemate in which no decision for governor, lieutenant governor or senators was made even after 5 separate elections were held.
