1st congressional district special election
Incumbent Democratic Congressman William H. Brawley of the 1st congressional district, in office since 1891, resigned in 1894. A special election was called for April and it pitted two Democrats against each other because the South Carolina Democratic Party refused to organize a primary election. James F. Izlar defeated J. William Stokes in the special election to win the remainder of the term for the 53rd Congress.

1st congressional district
The 1st congressional district was redrawn in 1894 to cover much of the South Carolina Lowcountry. William Elliott defeated D.A.J. Sullivan in the Democratic primary and Republican challenger George W. Murray in the general election. However, Murray challenged the election and the Republican controlled Congress awarded him the seat from Elliott in 1896.
