Description Special Election Overview
Special election to fill the vacancy occasioned by the resignation of Alfred M. Scales on 12/30/1884. This election used the new CD05 boundaries rather than the old boundaries as it should have, since it was held to fill the vacancy from the district as it appeared in 1882.

Democratic nomination
The Democratic district executive committee met on 12/31/1884 and unanimously nominated Reid (Oxford Torchlight, 1/6/1885).
