Notes:
[1]Massachusetts law required a majority for election to the U.S. House of Representatives. A second Trial would be held on January 24, 1803.
[2]"As we mentioned in our last, the federal votes in this district are scattered among several candidates, viz.--Hon. HUGH McCLALLEN, of Colrain, who has 429; Rev. SAMUEL TAGGART, of Colrain, 297; JOHN WILLIAMS, Esq of Deerfield, 238; SOLOMON VOSE, Esq. of Northfield, 96; SOLOMON SMEAD, Esq. of Greenfield, 211; Rev. JOSEPH LYMAN, of Hatfield, 166; E. UPHAM, Esq. the democratic Chronicle candidate, 73. We have already anticipated that Mr. McCLALLEN will be the Representative of this district; and we think the next trial will decide it in his favour." Columbian Centinel. Massachusetts Federalist (Boston, MA). November 17, 1802.
[3]"In Hampshire North District,--there is no choice. On the next trial SOLOMON SMEAD Esquire of Greenfield, will be the only Republican candidate." The National Aegis (Worcester, MA). November 10, 1802.
