1854 Election Day
Tue., Oct. 10, 1854
Elections were held in Pennsylvania, and Whig candidate Lemuel Todd was elected to the House of Representatives for District 16. Dickinson student Horatio C. King, Class of 1858, reported on Oct. 10, "Election day in Pennsylvania. Much excitement in town. ... It is rumored that Todd is elected to Congress." The next day, he wrote, "Listened to the serenade given by the now Hon. Mr Todd. Had a glorious time. [Whig candidate James] Pollock is elected Governor and Todd for Congress."
