Sažetak
Offi cial reports to ban (viceroy) and the government about the public opinion in the county of Rijeka during the pre-election period, as well as those about the elections for the Croatian Parliament in 1881, refl ect special attention of the offi cials towards local clergy
and their political orientation. Due to this detailed reports it is possible to investigate who were the priests that supported the Party of Right in the electoral districts Novi, Delnice and Čabar. Although it is possible to state that clergy in this region generally supported
candidates of the Party of Right, these reports state all the names of parish priests and other clergy men who agitated during the elections for the Party. Moreover, for some clergymen who did not vote in the electoral districts of Čabar and Delnice, writers of the
reports assume that they were supporters of the Party, and that they did not vote since they counted that candidates of the Party of Right will undoubtedly win elections. In Čabar the opponent candidate of the Popular Party gained votes only from two parish priests, and
in Delnice Popular Party’s candidate could count only on six votes (fi ve from Catholic priests and one from an Orthodox priest). From all these analysed reports it is possible to maintain that in all three electoral districts during the elections in 1881 the most of the
clergy supported the Party of Right. Moreover, in some places the main exponents of the party’s politics were clergymen.
