The 1900 Delaware gubernatorial election was held on November 6, 1900. Though Governor Ebe W. Tunnell was eligible for re-election under the newly adopted 1897 constitution,[1] the state convention ended up nominating Peter J. Ford,[2] a prominent businessman.[3]

On the Republican side, the split from four years earlier threatened to divide the party once again. The Addicks and anti-Addicks Republicans nominated separate candidates for Governor. The anti-Addicks (or "Regular Republicans") nominated attorney Martin B. Burris,[4] while the Addicks (or "Union Republicans") nominated Dr. George W. Marshall.[5] Both factions, however, nominated John Hunn for Lieutenant Governor.[6]

Though initial negotiations between the factions failed to produce a reconciliation,[6] a tentative agreement developed to form a joint ticket, adopting Hunn as a compromise for Governor splitting nominations for statewide offices among the two factions.[7] Ultimately, the parties came to an agreement, and a joint ticket was nominated for the general election.[8]

In the general election, Hunn ended up defeating Ford by a decisive margin, reclaiming the governorship for the Republican Party. Republicans would end up holding onto the office until 1936.
