in 1894, a coalition of republicans and the populist party won control of the north carolina state legislature (and with it, the ability to elect two us senators) and were successful in electing several us representatives elected through electoral fusion. the fusion coalition made impressive gains in the 1896 election when their legislative majority expanded. republican daniel lindsay russell won the gubernatorial race in 1897, the first republican governor of the state since the end of reconstruction in 1877. the election also resulted in more than 1,000 elected or appointed black officials, including the election in 1897 of george henry white to congress, as a member of the house of representatives.
