Notes:
[1]Elected.
[2]Maine law required a majority to elect for the U.S. House of Representatives. The original election was held on April 7, 1823, a 2nd Trial was held on June 30, 1823 and a 3rd Trial was held on September 8, 1823.
[3]"The result of this election has completed the triumph of the 'People's Ticket' in Maine. - We have but little personal acquaintance with either of the candidates, and have no personal preference; yet we cannot but feel gratified that an unquestionable friend of Mr. Adams is elected. Mr. M'Intire, it is true professed his favorable opinion for the same candidate, in such a manner as would have rendered it disgraceful for him to have supported his opponent; but the zeal of Mr. Holmes and the Argus in his favor were suspicious circumstances, and defeated his election."
