Notes

  1. [a]
    Bashford, a Republican, was elected as an independent in 1866 with the support of the "federal ring," the faction composed of federal appointees led by territorial governor Richard C. McCormick.[5]
  2. [b]
    McCormick deliberately avoided partisan labels during his tenure in territorial politics and was elected as a nonpartisan "Union" candidate in 1868.[5]
