Democratic nominee and former member of the Connecticut Senate Joseph W. Alsop won the election against Republican nominee George A. Bowen. However due to irregularities in the concurrent gubernatorial election and a split state legislature, the results were not certified and the legislature spent two years debating the issue. The election's winner, Democrat Luzon B. Morris, was not seated and incumbent Republican governor Morgan Bulkeley essentially served as governor by default. The same applied to the results of this election, meaning that this election's winner, Democrat Joseph W. Alsop, was not seated and incumbent Republican lieutenant governor Samuel E. Merwin continued serving as lieutenant governor, despite not running in this election. General election On election day, November 4, 1890, Democratic nominee Joseph W. Alsop won the election with 51.60% of the vote. But as the results were not certified due to irregularities in the concurrent gubernatorial election, incumbent Republican lieutenant governor Samuel E. Merwin continued serving as lieutenant governor, despite not running in this election.https://electionhistory.ct.gov/eng/contests/view/24861/ 1890 Nov 4 :: General Election :: Lieutenant Governor :: State of Connecticut electionhistory.ct.gov 2016 2026-04-07 Results Connecticut lieutenant gubernatorial election, 1890 Democratic Party (United States) Joseph W.
