With the state Democratic Party split into factions driven by personal rivalry and state government influence, the election matched insurgent E. M. Barnum against establishment candidate John Whiteaker, who won. The Republican Party first nominated John Denny, but he later withdrew in favor of the insurgent Democrat, whom the party hoped to win over to the Republicans.http://www.osl.state.or.us/home/lib/governors/jw.htm John Whiteaker Governors of Oregon Oregon State Library 2009-02-18 dead https://web.archive.org/web/20060923162226/http://www.osl.state.or.us/home/lib/governors/jw.htm 2006-09-23 Results 1858 Oregon gubernatorial electionBush Asahel Journal of the House of Representatives of the Legislative Assembly of the State of Oregon, During the First Sessions Thereof, 1858 1859 State Printer Salem 24 https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=nyp.33433086444613&view=1up&seq=30 9 April 2026Official Result of the State Election https://oregonnews.uoregon.edu/lccn/sn83025129/1858-07-24/ed-1/seq-2/ 9 April 2026 The Oregon Argus IV 15 24 July 1858 Oregon City 2The Tribune Almanac and Political Register for 1859 1859 H.
