Romanian Senate election, 1868

 * ... that the Romanian Senate election of 1868, which consolidated the "reddish" liberal legislature, was held in July, when many conservative voters had left on vacation? Source: Ghimpele, 8/1868, p. 1: Dupe părerea mai multora, Senatulŭ celŭ noŭ se d̦ice a fi, daca nu roșu, celŭ puținŭ roșatecŭ saŭ pembe. Toțĭ se mirŭ de una ca acésta, numaĭ noĭ nu ne mirămŭ. Se înțelege de sine că a trebuitŭ să se 'ntêmple, pe câtŭ timpŭ guvernulŭ a pusŭ alegerile tocmaĭ în timpulŭ cândŭ boieriĭ [...] aŭ tabietŭ a merge în streinătate ca să maĭ resufle din plictiséla d'aicĭ ("By many accounts, the new Senate is said to be, if not scarlet red, then at least reddish or pink. Everyone is stunned by this, but not us. It is self-evident that this should have occurred, for as long as government called elections just when the boyars [...] have this comfort of traveling abroad to relieve themselves of the boredom in these here parts").
