49TH CONGRESS- SENATE The General Court of the State of NEW HAMPSHIRE delayed re-electing Senator Henry W. Blair, a Republican (whose previous term in the Senate had expired 3 March 1885), to the Class 3 seat (term: 4 March 1885 to 3 March 1891) from that State until not too long before the convening of the "long" session of the 49th Congress on 7 December 1885. Senator Blair, therefore, is counted among the 41 Republicans elected to the Senate of the 49th Congress, notwithstanding the existence of a vacancy at the start of that Congress [4 March 1885] due to the failure of the legislature to elect. John H. Mitchell, a Republican, was elected by the Legislative Assembly of the State of OREGON to the Class 3 seat (term: 4 March 1885 to 3 March 1891) from that State on 18 November 1885, before the convening of the "long" session of the 49th Congress on 7 December 1885. Senator Mitchell, therefore, is counted among the 41 Republicans elected to the Senate of the 49th Congress, notwithstanding the existence of a vacancy at the start of that Congress [4 March 1885] due to a failure of the legislature to elect. |
