Government |
The October 1838 Maryland gubernatorial election was held on 3 October 1838 in order to elect the Governor of Maryland. Following an 1838 constitutional amendment, Governors would be elected through popular vote instead of by the Maryland General Assembly. Democratic nominee and former member of the Maryland House of Delegates William Grason narrowly defeated Whig nominee and former member of the United States House of Representatives from Maryland's 1st district John N. Steele.[1]
