The United States Senate election of 1874 was an election which had the Democratic Party gain nine seats in the United States Senate. However, most of the gains were made by the Democrats taking seats from the Liberal Republicans, while the core Republican Party (the party of incumbent President Ulysses S. Grant) lost only one seat. Thus, this was the smallest loss by a President's party in the Senate as a result of the Six-year itch. As this election was prior to ratification of the seventeenth amendment, Senators were chosen by State legislatures. ==Results== Senate Party Division, 44th Congress (1875–1877) * Majority Party: Republican (46) * Minority Party: Democratic (28) * Other Parties: Independent Republican (1) * Vacant: (1) * Total Seats: 76 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「United States Senate elections, 1874」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
