When it was announced that the Hungarian-allied candidate won, members of the People's Party took to St. Mark's Square to protest the result.The Croatian ban, ethnic Hungarian Franz Haller called on the Austrian army to empty the square.Due in large part to this incident, ban Haller left his post and bishop Juraj Haulik took his place soon after.In the following years, Croatia did gain some concessions as Croatian replaced Latin as the nation's official language.The People's Party remained in power but enabled a policy of Magyarization, which resulted in major discontent with ban Khuen Hedervary in 1903.
