	Brooks-Baxter War » History of a Landmark » General Information » Old State House
		It was quite an election: an egregious monument to good old fashioned politics, and relatively early good-ole-boyism, with burning ballots and voting corpses that led, two years later, to what is known as the Brooks-Baxter War, named for Joseph Brooks and Elisha Baxter, the two Republican candidates in the race.
		The 1868 election was held March 13 at a time when Brooks, who had come from Iowa with the invading Union Army and had stayed on to join the Republican Party, was the dominant figure on the Election Commission.
		Brooks, still seething over the election of 1872, became the Republican leader and was supported by allies who could testify to the crookedness of that election since they had fixed it themselves; in a curious twist of logic and justice, they rationalized supporting Baxter as the rightful governor.
