Summary

Description
English: The Georgetown elections - the Negro at the ballot-box. Georgetown welch addison mayor elections.

The race for mayor was between Henry Addison (of Hyde-Addison fame) and Charles Welch. Addison was the incumbent and represented the conservative establishment. Welch had been the tax collector in Georgetown until 1866, when representatives of Addison’s party on the city council voted to fire him. He apparently declined to actively seek the support of the pro-black suffrage party, but received it nonetheless. This coupled with general discontent with Addison contributed to his narrow victory: 1,019 to 933.
