This essay studies political clientelism -known as caciquismo in Restoration Spain- through a relevant case: that of the Count of Romanones, a liberal minister. He ruled the Castilian province of Guadalajara, a rural district, for more than forty years. His power was based on kin and economic relations, distribution of public resources and electoral fraud. The Romanonist clique controlled almost all political life, and only the Church was able to challenge its monopoly at the end of the period.
