Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use mdy dates Шаблон:Infobox election Шаблон:ElectionsNJ The 1898 New Jersey gubernatorial election was held on November 8, 1898. Republican nominee Foster McGowan Voorhees defeated Democratic nominee Elvin W. Crane with 48.91% of the vote.
Democratic nomination
Essex County convention
Elvin W. Crane and James M. Seymour contested the convention to elect delegates to the state convention. Crane won 132 of the 163 delegates, and Seymour withdrew as a candidate, releasing his delegates to support Crane.[1]
State convention
The Democratic convention in Trenton on September 29 was controversial and chaotic. First, proceedings were disrupted by free silver supporters. A large number of names were placed in nomination, and after a ballot was taken, Robert Davis of Hudson County rose to change the county's 165 votes to Elvin Crane, securing his nomination without a second ballot. The rest of the delegates soon followed, making his nomination formally unanimous.[1]
