Chapter 6 - Political Statistics.


In this chapter is given the vote of Richland county for every general election held from the organization of the county until 1884, inclusive, so far as can be ascertained from the records. It will be noticed that there is no report of an election in 1883. By an act of the Legislature, passed during the winter of 1882-3, it was provided that all State and county officers should thereafter be elected in "even years." Therefore, those officers who would otherwise have been elected in 1883, hold over one year.

The first election held within the limits of Richland county was in April, 1850, when the first county officers were chosen. The following is the list, although no record is in existenc to show the number of votes polled, or where the election was held: John Rutan, county clerk; Marvin White, register of deeds; A B Slaughter, clerk of the courts; D H Byrd, county treasurer; John J Mathews, sheriff; J W Coffinberry, county judge, and John H Price, E H Dyre and Adam Byrd, members of the board of supervisors.

The election of Nov 5, 1850, was the first held in the county of which there is any record. At this election the total number of votes cast was 158, divided as follows:

		Election, November, 1850.

The record states that the following county officers were elected: John Rutan, county clerk; A B Slaughter, clerk of court; Levi Houts, register of deeds; D H Byrd, county treasurer; J W Coffinberry, county judge; John J Mathews, sheriff; John Stone, prosecuting attorney; James Appleby, surveyor and William Kincannon, coroner.

The election July 15, 1851, was a special election, at which only eight votes were cast, electing John J Morland to fill the office of prosecuting attorney, to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of John Stone.

In November, 1851, the board of canvassers, having decided that the election held this year was not in accordance with the law, rejected all returns. "No election had taken place," was entered upon the records, and the old officers held over.
