The 1867 California gubernatorial election was held on September 4, 1867, to elect the governor of California . The election pitted Democrat Henry Haight Against National Unionist George Gorham . Congressman John Bidwell had also sought the National Union nomination, but lost due to his anti-monopoly stance.[ 1] Haight Defeated Gorham by slightly over ten points. Republicans opposed to Gorham, who had support from pre-war Unionist Democrats, ran an alternate Republican ticket headed by Caleb T. Fay.[ 2]
