Data SourcesCongressional Quarterly Guide to U S Elections
American Governors and Gubernatorial Elections, 1775-1978 Glashan
The Tribune Almanac for 1884, p. 70 [Link] & The World Almanac for 1886, p. 94-95 [Link]
Description Both almanacs list 2,215 votes for Knott & 909 votes for Morrow in Madison County. Morrow's vote total has been corrected to 1,909 as said county was more competitive at this time than the returns in the almanacs would suggest. This correction also means that the county totals match the official statewide totals.
