  1. ^ a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o Died in office.
  2. ^ a b c Initially, Barstow was declared the winner of the 1855 election, but soon resigned amid claims that he had won through fraudulent means. MacArthur, as lieutenant governor, acted as governor for five days, until the Wisconsin Supreme Court declared Barstow's opponent, Bashford, the legitimate governor. Bashford completed the term, with MacArthur continuing to serve as lieutenant governor.
  3. ^ a b c d e f g h i j k Appointed to fill a vacancy.
  4. ^ Resigned to become Chicago superintendent of schools.
  5. ^ Elected a Unionist, James W. Beardsley, as Speaker.[2]
  6. ^ a b c d As lieutenant governor, acted as governor for remainder of unexpired term.
  7. ^ Elected a Republican, Sam Fifield, as Speaker.[2]
  8. ^ Elected an Independent, John B. Cassoday, as Speaker. He ran on a Unionist ticket.[2]
  9. ^ Elected a Greenback, Augustus Barrows, as Speaker.[2]
  10. ^ During Rusk's first term, the Wisconsin Constitution was amended to provide that all elections of state and county officers would henceforth take place in even-numbered years. By the provisions of the amendment, the terms of all officials who would have left office in 1884, including Rusk, were extended by one year.
  11. ^ Also nominated by the Democratic Party and the Prohibition Party.
  12. ^ a b c d Resigned.
  13. ^ La Follette nominated himself to Wisconsin's vacant U.S. Senate seat in 1905 and was confirmed by the state Senate; he held both offices, leaving the senate seat unfilled, until he resigned from the office of governor to take his seat in the Senate.
  14. ^ a b Failed to give required bond.
  15. ^ Elected a Democrat, Harry W. Bolens, as President Pro Tempore.[3]
