Home > Quebec general election, 1892


In the Quebec general election on March 8, 1892, the incumbent Quebec Conservative Party under Charles-Eugène Boucher de Boucherville defeated the Quebec Liberal Party under Honoré Mercier.

Mercier had been accused of corruption and removed from office as Premier by Quebec Lieutenant-governor Auguste-Réal Angers on December 16, 1891. The scandal probably influenced the outcome of the election. Mercier gave up the post of Liberal leader (and leader of the Opposition) to Félix-Gabriel Marchand, and was later acquitted of all charges.

Boucher de Boucherville resigned a year later, and was replaced by Louis-Olivier Taillon as Conservative leader and premier, who in turn resigned in 1896, replaced by Edmund James Flynn. Flynn would go on to lose the 1897 election, and the Conservatives never held power in Quebec again.
