canadian federal election, 1874

The Canadian federal election of 1874 was held on January 22, 1874. Sir John A. Macdonald's Conservative government was defeated by the Liberal Party under their new leader Alexander Mackenzie. Macdonald's government had been forced to resign on November 5, 1873 because of allegations of corruption relating to the construction of the Canadian Pacific Railway (see the Pacific Scandal). The Liberals under Mackenzie formed an interim government two days later with an election called for January. The Tories were unable to recover from the scandal and lost the election as a result.
