The 1895 United States Senate special election in California was held on January 23, 1895, by the California State Legislature to elect a U.S. Senator (Class 3) to represent the State of California in the United States Senate. Incumbent Republican Senator George Clement Perkins, who was appointed by Governor Henry Markham to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Senator Leland Stanford in 1893, was re-elected to a full term in office, defeating newspaper publisher and fellow Republican M. H. de Young, Democratic former Lieutenant Governor John Daggett, and several other minor challengers.[1]
