It took 19 rounds to elect the Senate President Pro Temp due to the requirement of having 21 members elect the position of the 40 member body. I have recorded the votes that were available in the Sacramento Daily Union. Irwin was finally elected when all 22 Democrats voted for him.

There were 22-D, 17-R, and 1-I elected to the legislature in 1873

So just in case you thought 15 rounds for Speaker McCarthy was bad, it took longer to elect Irwin. Irwin went on to be Governor.
