1884 Louisiana gubernatorial election
The 1884 Louisiana gubernatorial election was the second election to take place under the Louisiana Constitution of 1879. Incumbent governor Samuel D. McEnery had been elected Lieutenant Governor in 1879, succeeding Gov. Louis A. Wiltz upon the latter's death in 1881. With assistance from the New Orleans "Ring," McEnery defeated a challenge for nomination from White League chieftain, Frederick Nash Ogden. The election saw widespread intimidation of African Americans which guaranteed the election of the Democratic nominee. As a result, McEnery was elected Governor of Louisiana.
