Notes:

[1]"Henry Bruner and Jacob Miller, have been uniformly run as Inspectors, by both parties for the last four years. The Constitutionalists this year had not the least idea that any opposition would be made to them. But the Jacobins met in caucus, and resolved to run two others and take the Constitutionalists by surprise. They did so. The Constitutionalists, not aware of the trick . . . did what the lateness of the hour would permit, and lost it but by 7 votes, the whole number of votes being 108 to 115." The Freeman's Journal, and Philadelphia Daily Advertiser (Philadelphia, PA). October 4, 1808.
[2]The Aurora. General Advertiser (Philadelphia, PA) identifies Joseph Miller as a Democrat [Republican] but lists him under the Federalist ticket. October 3, 1808.
