The 1867 California gubernatorial election was held on September 4, 1867, to elect the governor of California. The election pitted Democrat Henry Haight Against National Unionist George Gorham. Congressman John Bidwell had also sought the National Union nomination, but lost due to his anti-monopoly stance. Haight Defeated Gorham by slightly over ten points. Republicans opposed to Gorham, who had support from pre-war Unionist Democrats, ran an alternate Republican ticket headed by Caleb T. Fay.
