The1794–95 United States House of Representatives elections were held on various dates in various states between August 25, 1794 (New Hampshire), and September 5, 1795 (Kentucky). Each state set its own date for its elections to theHouse of Representatives before the first session of the4th United States Congress convened on December 7, 1795. They were held duringPresidentGeorge Washington's second term. Elections were held for all 105 seats, representing 15 states.

In the first election for the House of Representatives with organizedpolitical parties, theDemocratic-Republican Party, which opposed the incumbentWashington Administration, defeated the pro-administrationFederalist Party. The outgoing speaker,Frederick Muhlenberg, had supported the pro-administration forces during his first two terms, but was elected by a coalition made up mainly of anti-administration members in 1793, and by 1795 he was seen as more favorable to the Democratic-Republicans. Despite the Democratic-Republican majority, however, Muhlenberg was not re-elected, and was succeeded by FederalistJonathan Dayton.[3]

Election summary

[edit]

During this period, each state fixed its own date for a congressional general election. Elections took place both in the even-numbered year before and in the odd-numbered year when a Congress convened. In some states, the congressional delegation was not elected until after the legal start of the Congress (on the 4th day of March in the odd-numbered year).

  10. ^A petition by various citizens of Massachusetts contested the election. TheCommittee on Elections ruled in the winner's favor and added "that the attempt to deprive him of his seat was rather the act of malevolence than a desire to promote the public good." On January 25, 1797, these words were stricken out and expressions of compliment to the member were substituted, and the report was agreed to.[2]
