DescriptionElecting the Speaker of the House in the 34th Congress was quite difficult. In the congressional elections of 1854-1855, the House was divided somewhat evenly among three factions (Opposition, Democratic and American) with further divisions due to the Kansas/Nebraska act. Although various means of compromise were attempted, no faction could garner a majority. Nathaniel P. Banks was chosen Speaker by plurality on the 133rd ballot.

William A. Richardson led on the first eleven ballots. Linn Boyd, the previous Speaker, had retired when it became obvious that the Democrats had lost control of the House. Richardson, the popular Democratic floor leader, became their chief candidate. Opposition Party members supported Lewis D. Campbell of Ohio. Anti-Nebraska Americans supported Nathaniel P. Banks, while pro-Nebraska Americans supported the Whigs Henry M. Fuller and Hemphrey Marshall. [Fuller's supporters cast their vote on the 12th ballot for Thomas J.D. Fuller, a Democrat, during a period of frustration.] Richardson's total remained quite steady on the first 15 ballots, ranging between 72 and 78. Campbell ran second on the initial ten ballots, then struck a deal with the Anti-Nebraska nativists for their votes. Campbell pulled into first place, just ahead of Richardson but still far short of a majority. Meanwhile, an assortment of over 50 Representatives received a scattering of votes on the first 15 ballots.

When it became clear that Campbell would not be able to muster a majority, he agreed to allow the nativists to test the strength of Banks. This arrangement allowed Banks to consolidate the vote of two American contenders (Smith and Zollicoffer). On the 28th ballot, Banks placed first and won the most votes any contender had received up to that point. Richardson was hemmed in, ranging from 71 to 74. Southern Democrats refused to scheme with the nativists or the Anti-Nebraska Representatives.

Banks turned out to be more popular than the Anti-Nebraska Representatives had anticipated. His vote rose to 107 on the 37th ballot, far more than Campbell's high of 81 or Richardson's high of 78. As Banks rose to within a dozen votes of a majority, the stragglers moved to the top three candidates: Banks, Richardson, and Fuller.

In the following 15 ballots, as Banks hovered just below the 50% mark, Fuller tried to collect the scattering votes in an attempt to garner support for a compromise with the two leaders. The scattering votes in these 15 ballots were cast for 25 different candidates, none of whom received more than two votes. Richardson himself voted for a different supporter on each ballot in an effort to keep his leaning supporters in line.

As the impasse continued week after week, several Representatives began to give up and pass on the situation until a resolution was completed. Meanwhile Banks was trapped at three votes shy of a majority.

The year 1856 began after the 85th ballot was cast, with still no decision as to the Speaker. With sixteen Representatives already having given up on the situation, the remainder attempted to find a resolution. A proposal to choose by plurality was the first motion of the new year, but it would have the effect of electing Banks. The Democrats and Nebraska Americans had enough support to vote it down. Alexander C. M. Pennington (Am-NJ) received half of the scattering vote in the ballots 76-90; his support would have been enough to put Banks over the top on several ballots.

On 1/9/1856, the 100th ballot for Speaker was cast. The Clerk allowed various House members to state their postion on the issue of electing the Speaker. The roll calls show the declining interest in the speeches and the continuing inability to organize the House.

The time between ballots was greater, as Representatives debated the reasons for their voting. The next 15 ballots show little change from ballot to ballot.

Richardson withdrew following the 122d ballot. The Democratic caucus decided to go with Orr, a Southerner. Although Orr gained over Richardson's late totals, he was also unable to gain traction. The Democrats finally decided to try a compromise with the Nebraska Americans. They agreed on 2/2/1856 to allow three additional ballots. If no candidate received a majority, the leading candidate on the 133d ballot would be declared the Speaker. The Democrats then placed William Aiken of SC in nomination, a Democrat with some American tendencies. It is not clear why the Democrats waited so long to attempt such a compromise. Aiken's vote on his first ballot was the highest cast for any Democratic contender up to that time. On the critical 133d ballot, Banks was chosen by a 103-100 margin over Aiken.
