1884 HISTORY
WINNEBAGO COUNTY, IOWA.

CHAPTER IX1.
POLITICAL.

OFFICIAL VOTE

 

The political history of Winnebago county is more fully given and much better understood by a presentation of the votes cast at the various elections, than in any other way, and for convenience of reference it will be appreciated. Any difficulties arising from doubtful and contested elections will appear in the chapter following, entitled "National, State and County Representation," in connection with the article upon the office in question.

OFFICIAL VOTE.

It is the intention under this head to give a complete abstract of the votes cast at every general election held in Winnebago county since its organization. This, however, cannot be done, as the record of the votes cast in the years of 1857 to 1861, inclusive, were destroyed by fire. The names of those elected are given without the number of votes cast during those years.
