[3]"We observe that the whole number of votes given in Kentucky, at the last election, to Major George Madison for Governor, was 47,442; but as he was the only candidate, it is probable that a great number of persons did not vote at all ." Baltimore Patriot and Evening Advertiser (Baltimore, MD). September 10, 1816.
[4]"As the late question which has been so warmly discussed in the House of Representatives, relative to the election of a new Governor, to fill the vacancy occasioned by the death of the beloved Madison, has excited such general interest among the people of this state, we have thought it proper to lay before our readers a list of the yeas and nays on that important subject. For a New Election--28; Against a New Election--62*. *Names totaled up to 63." The Kentucky Advertiser (Winchester, KY). February 15, 1817.
