Eli May Saulsbury (December
29, 1817 – March 22, 1893) was an American lawyer and politician from Dover, in
Kent County, Delaware. He was a member of the Democratic Party, who served in
the Delaware General Assembly and as U.S. Senator from Delaware. Saulsbury was
born in Mispillion Hundred, Kent County, Delaware, son of William &
Margaret Ann Smith Saulsbury. He was the middle brother of Governor Gove Saulsbury and U.S. Senator Willard Saulsbury Sr. Saulsbury
was educated at Dickinson College, studied law, was admitted to the Delaware
Bar in 1857, and began his practice in Dover, Delaware, where he lived. Saulsbury
served one term in the State House, during the 1853/54 session. In 1870 he
successfully challenged his younger brother, incumbent U.S. Senator Willard
Saulsbury Sr. for his seat in the U.S. Senate. He went on to win three full
terms, but was defeated in an attempt for a fourth term by Republican
candidate Anthony Higgins. He
was in office from March 4, 1871 until March 3, 1889, and served on the
Committee on Privileges and Elections in the 46th Congress, and the Committee
on Engrossed Bills in the 47th Congress through the 50th Congress. Saulsbury
died at Dover and is buried there in the Silver Lake Cemetery.
