The committee's examination of the votes showed that Jonas Galusha defeated former Governor Isaac Tichenor to win election to a second one-year term.[1] In the election for lieutenant governor, the voters selected Paul Brigham for a one-year term, his fifteenth.[1] Benjamin Swan was elected to his eleventh one-year term as treasurer.[1]
