Notes:

[1]Elected.
[2]William Heath and Edward H. Robbins were candidates for Lieutenant Governor.
[3]"The poll was opened at 11 o'clock.--The Selectmen had previously made all the arrangements in their power to carry into effect the law for regulating elections; and had requested the assistance of the committees appointed by the town to revise and correct the lists of qualified voters, in ascertaining whether the names of the voters were on the list.--The great number of citizens present at the opening, rendered incommodious the execution of the law, from the want of an outlet at the West-end of the hall;--which we are told will be provided previous to the choice of Representatives. The poll closed at three o'clock, when the following declaration was made: FOR GOVERNOR. HIS EXCELLENCY CALEB STRONG, Esq. 2372 votes. Hon. ELBRIDGE GERRY Esq. 1498 ... On this declaration being made, no exultation took place; and the Federalists, happy in the resuscitation of the Old Federal Spirit, enjoyed the triumph of reason, justice, and qualified suffrage, with dignity and moderation." Columbian Centinel. Massachusetts Federalist (Boston, MA). April 7, 1802.
[4]"MR. FAY, I congratulate you and the public on the result of the election in this town last Monday. There has been an astonishing change of opinion in this town in the course of the past year. Last year the votes for governor were--for Strong 167; for Gerry 112. This year for Strong 206; for Gerry 84. The majority for Strong last year was 55, this year 122. But lest this should be charged to the excellency of Mr. Strong's character alone and not to a growing Federalism, it is to observed that the Federal Senatorial list had a few more votes than Mr. Strong, while the Democratic could not rise but one vote above 84. People are opening their eyes; and indeed it was time. Tossed as we are 'on the tempestuous ocean of liberty' by our Federal rulers, if we do not cast anchor in our state governments, we shall soon be on the 'breakers.' A FEDERALIST." The Observer (Haverhill, MA). April 9, 1802.
[5]"MASSACHUSETTS ELECTION. ... so far as we have received, the result appears to be (in this County) in favor of GERRY and Republicanism. We congratulate the Republicans of Berkshire on their inflexibility, and firm attachment to true Whiggism. Altho' it is not probable their efforts will be crown'd with success, (this year) still they have done themselves immortal honor, in making so firm a stand these 'SQUALLY' times." The Sun (Pittsfield, MA). April 12, 1802.
[6]"GLORIOUS DAY--Complete Triumph of Federalism! According to the statement of votes in the different papers received by yesterday's Eastern Mail, Mr. STRONG has a majority of about EIGHT THOUSAND. Last year Mr. Gerry had in the town of Boston, a majority of 227 votes for Gov.--Mr. Strong has this year a majority of 874! ... FROM NORTHAMPTON, April 7. '... In a number of towns the federal vote has not been so large as last year; the people being satisfied, that Gov. STRONG was so closely rivetted in the affections of the people as to render a powerful exertion unnecessary.'" The Western Star (Stockbridge, MA). April 17, 1802.
[7]"The joint committee raised to examine the returns of votes for GOVERNOR and LIEUTENANT-GOVERNOR reported, that the whole number of votes for Governor, was 49,583;--of which HIS EXCELLENCY CALEB STRONG, Esquire, Had 29,983, and he was declared elected. ... we give these particulars, for the information of the Editors of the Aurora and National Intelligencer:--who have been laboring hard to convince the southern Virginians, that the votes given for Governor STRONG were no evidence of the true politics of Massachusetts; for that many good democrats alias northern Virginians, had in the election preferred the amiable and moderate Gov. Strong to the petulent and recluse Mr. Gerry. But what will these ingenious gentelmen say, when they find that the majority for Lieutenant Governor Robbins over the democratic Gen. Heath, is as large in proportion as Governor Strong's over Mr. Gerry?--They surely will not say, that any true democrat would prefer Mr. Robbins to their General! ... For Mr. Gerry (including scattering votes) 19,600.--Majority for Governor Strong 10,383." Columbian Centinel. Massachusetts Federalist (Boston, MA). May 29, 1802.
