The committee examined the votes, which showed that Isaac Tichenor was chosen for an eighth one-year term.[1] In the election for lieutenant governor, the voters selected Paul Brigham for a ninth one-year term.[1] Benjamin Swan was elected to a fifth one-year term as treasurer.[1] According to contemporary newspaper accounts, the vote totals for governor were as follows.[1]
