The '''1890–91 United States Senate elections''' were held on various dates in various states. As these [[United States Senate|U.S. Senate]] elections were prior to the ratification of the [[Seventeenth Amendment to the United States Constitution|Seventeenth Amendment]] in 1913, senators were chosen by [[State legislature (United States)|state legislatures]]. Senators were elected over a wide range of time throughout 1890 and 1891, and a seat may have been filled months late or remained vacant due to [[Gridlock (politics)|legislative deadlock]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.archives.gov/milestone-documents/17th-amendment|title=17th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution: Direct Election of U.S. Senators (1913)|website=National Archives and Records Administration|date=February 8, 2022}}</ref> In these elections, terms were up for the senators in [[Classes of United States senators|Class 3]].
The [[Republican Party (United States)|Republican Party]] lost four seats, though still retaining a slim majority. That majority was increased, however, upon the admission of two more states with Republican senators.

In July 1890, Idaho became a state. In November, [[Fred Dubois]] helped engineer a plan for the [[Idaho Legislature]] to effectively elect three people to the [[United States Senate|U.S. Senate]]: Governor [[George L. Shoup|George Shoup]] to the class 2 seat up for election in 1894, state constitutional convention member [[William J. McConnell]] to serve for the remainder of the [[Fifty-first United States Congress]], ending in March 1891, and Dubois himself to succeed McConnell and serve a full six-year term in the class 3 seat beginning in March 1891.
