This marked the start of over 39 consecutive years in power for the Liberals. The Conservative Party never held power again in Quebec, and ceased to exist in 1936 when it merged with the Action libérale nationale to form the Union Nationale, which formed a government later that year.
Marchand died in office in 1900, and was succeeded by Simon-Napoléon Parent as Liberal leader and premier.
