County resultsRoyce: 30–40% 40–50% 50–60% 60–70% 70–80% 80–90%
The 1855 Vermont gubernatorial election for governor of Vermont was held on September 4.[1] Whig Party defunct after 1854,[2] Stephen Royce , who had run with the support of both Whigs and the new Republican Party in 1854, ran as the nominee of the Republicans.[3] Merritt Clark , who had run unsuccessfully against Royce in 1854.[4] James M. Slade , the Clerk of the Vermont House of Representatives was the nominee of the Know Nothing Party, also called the American Party.[5]
With Vermont firmly in the anti-slavery camp and the Republican Party established as the main abolitionist party, Royce was easily re-elected with 58.4 percent of the vote to 22.9 for Clark and 8.4 for Slade.[6] [7]
The 1855 election also marked Republican extension of the "Mountain Rule " for the governor's and lieutenant governor's offices.[8] Green Mountains , and one from the east, and for the governorship and lieutenant governorship to rotate between east and west.[8] [8]
