Arthur'sRepublican Partywas badly defeated, losing its majority to the oppositionDemocratic Partyafter a campaign that focused on the resistance of Republican leaders to reforming thespoils systemunder which government jobs were handed to supporters of winning candidates. After the election, Arthur agreed with the Democrats to pass thePendleton Civil Service Reform Act,establishing a professional civil service. However, his actions were too late, as the image of the Republican Party as corrupt was already engrained in the minds of voters.
This would nonetheless be the last occasion a Republican was elected to the Housefrom Floridauntil1954,[2]forthe disenfrachisement of almost all blacksin the 1890s would leave that state completely devoid of Republican support until the “Hoovercrat”bolt againstAl Smith.[3]This election also saw the decline of the pro-paper moneyGreenback Party,and the pick up of several Virginian seats by theReadjuster Partywhich promotedfiscal responsibilityand shunned elitism, though the Virginia-based Readjuster Party all but disappeared following this election and fused withthe state Republican Party.[4]
Election summaries
editFollowing the1880 census,32 new seats wereapportioned.[5]Three States lost 1 seat each, 13 States had no change in apportionment, 14 States gained 1 seat each, 6 States gained 2 seats, 1 State gained 4 seats, and 1 State gained 5 seats. Several States that gained one or more seats did not redistrict immediately, electing the new membersat-large,while one state (Maine) which lost a member also delayed redistricting, electing all of its members at-large for this Congress only.

North Carolina
editThe Liberal Anti-Prohibition Party was formed following the failure of the first statewide referendum on Prohibition in 1881. Throughout most of North Carolina, the moribund Republican Party merged into the new party and scored impressive gains in the 1882 elections. By early 1884, however, the LAP was dissolving, and they are listed here synonymously with the Republican Party.
