Québécois general election of 1890

The Québécois general election of 1890 is held the June 17th 1890 in order to elect with the legislative Assemblée Quebec the Député S of the 7th legislature. It is about the 7th general election in this province of the Canada since the confederation of 1867. The Liberal party of Quebec, to the capacity and directed by Honore Draper, is deferred to the capacity, forming a majority Gouvernement.

Context

The countryside of Honore Mercier is centered on the topic of provincial autonomy. The question of the borders of the Labrador is also mentioned. On their side, the conservatives reproach Mercier for mortgaging finances of the province.

April 2nd, 1890, the electoral map is altered and 73 deputies now are counted. It is also starting from this date that the districts being used for the provincial elections will be different from those used for the federal elections.

The liberals of Draper were re-elected with an increased majority. However this mandate was to be of short duration because Mercier was dislocated of his functions under a charge, found nonfounded later, of corruption.
