Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found. Lua error in Module:Infobox at line 271: malformed pattern (missing ']'). The 1890 Quebec general election was held on June 17, 1890, to elect members of the 7th Legislative Assembly of the Province of Quebec, Canada. The incumbent Quebec Liberal Party Parti national coalition led by Honoré Mercier, was re-elected, defeating the Quebec Conservative Party, led by Louis-Olivier Taillon.
A scandal and charges of corruption cut short Mercier's term of office. He was later cleared of all charges, but his political career was ended.[1]
