Result of the National Council Elections in the Canton of Bern

** Bern, 21 November. Result of the National Council elections of the day before yesterday. [Neue Rheinische Zeitung No. 152, 25 November 1848]

Bern: former Grand Councillor Fischer (conservative) 1,793 votes, elected. Weingart 1,315, Mathys 1,266, Blösch (conservative) 1,256 votes. As none of these three has an absolute majority, the two Radicals, Weingart and Mathys, remain in the election, and Weingart will probably be elected. That the Radicals managed to push through at least one candidate they owe to the participation of the Bernese militia battalion currently under arms in Freiburg, which voted to a man for the Radicals.
