Notes:

[1]Elected.
[2]"The Commonwealth, on the subject of the federal Constitution, having been thrown into two large parties previous to the election, the friends to the Constitution endeavoured to unite their suffrages in favour of federal characters; and the anti-federalist in favour of those who were opposed to the Constitution, to sustain the great officers of government the present year. His Excellency, Mr. Hancock, as Governor, and the Hon. Mr. Lincoln by some, and the Hon. Mr. Adams by others as Lieutenant Governor, were, therefore elected by the federalist; and the Hon. Gerry as Governor and the Hon. Mr. Warren, as Lieutenant Governor by the anti-federalist." The New-Hampshire Spy (Portsmouth, NH). June 3, 1788.
[3]"The Hon. House of Representatives, in conformity to the Constitution, proceeded to the choice of two of the four candidates above-mentioned [Benjamin Lincoln, James Warren, Samuel Adams, and Elbridge Gerry], to be sent up to the Hon. Senate - and, notwithstanding there is as decided a majority of Federalists in that hon. body as four to one, who might have elected the two federal candidates, yet, respect for the six thousand citizens who voted for Mr. W. - the principles of conciliation and fairness, which have ever marked the conduct of the friends to order and good government - and conviction, that the Hon. Senate, in their choice, would accord with the voice of the People, so emphatically pronounced in favour of Mr. Lincoln - induced that hon. body to send up to the Hon. Senate the two persons who were the principal objects of the choice of the two parties - Lincoln and Warren. The Senate, as was expected, the same day made choice of the Hon. Mr. Lincoln, by a majority of 28 votes - gratifying, thereby, we venture to assert, the wishes of three-fourths of the people of the Commonwealth." The Salem Mercury (Salem, MA). June 3, 1788.
