[6]"The New Hampshire delegation in Congress was now unanimously Federalist. In order to preserve its unity the party leaders took unusual measures to elect the right men to the House of Representatives in August. Defying the dangerous publicity that was sure to follow, a caucus of sixty-six Federalist representatives met to nominate a party ticket - perhaps the first time that the dominant party had done so. Four stalwart but undistinguished gentlemen, judiciously drawn from the four sections of the state, were nominated for Congress." The Ninth State: New Hampshire's Formative Years. p, 182.
