MANCHESTER.
HOW THE TOWN BECAME INCORPORATED A CITY IN 1846.
Manchester, as a city, came into existence in a year of great excitement and unrest. War with Mexico had been declared, and Palo Alto and Resaca de la Palma had already been fought, while the echoes of the cannon of Monterey furnished the grim accompaniment to the first session of its councils. In our own state, factional discord was at its worst, and Anthony Colby, failing of election by the people, had been chosen governor by the legislature, through a coalition of the Whigs and Free Soilers. At the March town meeting of that year, 1846, Manchester having then a population of more than 10,000, and being entitled to eight representatives in the general court, a committee was chosen to petition the legislature for a city charter. This committee consisted of David Gillis, Samuel D. Bell, Isaac Riddle, William C. Clarke, John A. Burnham, Luther Farley, and Walter French.
The legislature assembled in Concord on Wednesday, June 3, 1846. Manches- ter's representatives in the house were Herman Foster, Jacob F. James, J. W. Mowry, Ira W. Moore, Daniel Clark, Daniel Savage, Eben C. Foster, and Edwin Baldwin. Of the twelve senatorial districts into which the state was then divided, only five had chosen senators by popular vote. The legislature, in joint convention, filled the vacancy in district No. 3 by the election of James U. Parker of Manchester, brother of Nathan Parker, and with him the founder of the Manchester bank. Mr. Parker was subsequently elected president of the senate. John P. Hale was chosen speaker of the house. It was not until Friday, June 5, that James U. Parker, in convention, declared His Excellency Anthony Colby governor of the state of New Hampshire for the ensuing year, and Governor Colby delivered his inaugural address, in which he devoted thirty lines to the question of slavery, and ten lines to the war with Mexico. Men afterwards conspicuous in New Hampshire history were members of the house that year. There were John P. Hale, the speaker: Daniel M. Christie, chairman of the judiciary committee; Daniel Clark, chairman of committee on agriculture and manufactures; George W. Nesmith, chairman of committee on incorporations; Gilman Marston, chairman of bills on second reading; George G. Fogg, Ruel Durkee, Aaron F. Sawyer, and others who later figured in war or peace.
On Tuesday, June 9, 1846, Daniel Clark of Manchester presented the petition of "the town of Manchester" for a city charter. No such petition had ever before been presented in a New Hampshire legislature. It was ordered that it be referred to the committee on towns and parishes. It would appear that there was a change in the committee to which it was referred, however, for, on June 18, Mr. Christie,

FIRST CITY ELECTION.
from the judiciary committee, made a report upon the petition of the town of Man- chester, whereupon it was resolved "that the petitioners have leave to bring in a bill." In the afternoon of the same day, Mr. Clark, "agreeably to the report of the com- mittee," introduced a bill to incorporate Manchester as a city. It was ordered that the bill be laid upon the table, and that the clerk be directed to procure 350 printed copies for the use of the house. On Friday, June 26, Mr. Nesmith, from the committee on incorporations, to whom was referred the bill entitled "An act to establish the city of Manchester," reported a bill with an amendment. The bill was read a second time, and the amendment adopted. On motion of Mr. Clark, the bill was laid on the table.
On Monday, June 29, on motion of Mr. Clark, the house resumed consideration of the bill incorporating the city of Manchester. Mr. Clark proposed "sundry amendments," which were adopted. Mr. Herman Foster moved "other amend- inents," which were adopted, and it was "ordered that the bill be read a third time tomorrow afternoon, at 3 o'clock." Accordingly, on Tuesday, June 30, 1846, the house passed "An act to establish the city of Manchester."
On Tuesday, July 7, a message was received from the senate, by its clerk, that the senate concurred with the house in the passage of "An act to establish the city of Manchester," and on Friday, July 10, Mr. Dearborn, from the committee on engrossed bills, reported that his committee had "carefully examined and found correctly engrossed" the act to establish the city of Manchester. On the same day, Senator Kingsbury, from the committee on engrossed bills in the senate, made a similar report, and, so far as the legislature was concerned, Manchester was an incorporated city.
On Saturday, August 1, 1846, a town meeting was held to act on the question of accepting the act of incorporation. The vote stood 485 in favor of accepting the charter and 134 against it.
FIRST . CITY ELECTION.
The first city election occurred August 19, 1846, when there were four candidates: Hiram Brown, Whig; William C. Clarke, Democrat; Thomas Brown. Abolition, and William Shepherd. There were 1120 votes cast. Hiram Brown had 569; Clarke, 442; Thomas Brown, 106; Shepherd, 42, and there was no choice.
The second election for mayor took place September 1. 1846, when Hiram Brown had 602 votes; Isaac C. Flanders, Dem., 342; Thomas Brown, 109, and 51 were scattering.
Hiram Brown was declared elected.
The city government was organized in the city hall September 8. 1846, at 10 A. M., in the presence of a large number of citizens. Moses Fellows, chairman of the retiring board of selectmen, presided, and prayer was offered by Rev. C. W. Wallace. Daniel Clark administered the oath of office to Mayor Brown. At that time the valuation of the city was $3,187,726; the tax list for 1846 was $22,005.95; number of polls, 2056, and the population, 10,125.

SEMI-CENTENNIAL OF MANCHESTER, N. H.
PRELIMINARY.
On January 26, 1895, Col. George C. Gilmore, in the following communication to the "Manchester Union," first called public attention of the legislative delegation to the Semi-Centennial celebration of the incorporation of the city, the legislature being then in session.
Editor of "The Union" :- Permit me, through the columns of your paper, to most respectfully call the attention of the city councils of Manchester, and its delegation in the legislature, to the fact that July 10, 1896, is the fiftieth anniversary of the granting of its charter. And, in order to appropriate money to celebrate the occasion, it will become necessary to obtain leave at this session. The 4th and 10th of July being so near together, it might, perhaps, be wise to celebrate them both the 4th, and at Stark park. The charter was accepted August 1, 1846. The vote for, 485; against, 134. The first election for mayor and city officers, August 19, 1846; no mayor was elected. The second trial for mayor occurred September 1, 1846, Hiram Brown being elected. Although not old enough to vote, I well recollect the excitement. One of the ballots was as follows: For mayor, John Sullivan Wiggin, Victory or Death. There are at least three members of the first city government living: John S. Kidder, William Boyd, and David Cross, the others, so far as known, having passed over the river. The city officers elected were qualified September 8, 1846.
MANCHESTER, January 25, 1895. GIL.
In his annual report, January 14, 1896, the secretary of the Manchester Board of Trade said:
This year marks the fiftieth anniversary of Manchester as a city, and the city government has already begun preparations for a rousing Semi-Centennial celebration. The mayor has appointed a committee from the board of aldermen and the common council, and will soon announce a citizens' committee to act with them. The city authorities can be assured of the hearty co-operation of the Board of Trade in making the celebration a red-letter event in the history of the Queen City of New Hampshire. It has been suggested that the regular Merchants' Week be given up this year, and all the attractions possible be arranged for the Semi-Centennial week instead. The growth of our city since 1846 has been remarkable. Who shall prophecy as to what the Man- chester of 1946 shall be?
It is a matter of intense pride to the citizens of Manchester that the suggestions of Colonel Gilmore and others led up to a magnificent celebration, which lasted four days, attracted thousands of visitors from all over New England, and even beyond, and redounded greatly to the credit of Manchester, the Queen City of the state.
LEGISLATIVE PROCEEDINGS.
On February 21, 1895, Representative T. J. Howard of Manchester, for the committee on judiciary, introduced into the house of representatives the following bill:
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court convened:
SECTION 1. The city of Manchester is hereby authorized to appropriate a sum not

exceeding two thousand dollars, for the purpose of celebrating the fiftieth anniversary of the incorporation of the city of Manchester.
SECT. 2. This act shall take effect on its passage; and all acts and parts of acts inconsistent with this act are hereby repealed.
On February 22, the bill, on motion of Representative F. O. Clement, passed the house, and on February 27, on motion of Senator John P. Bartlett, it passed the senate. February 28, it received the approval of Gov. Charles A. Busiel.
CITY GOVERNMENT ACTION.
On November 5, 1895, the city government passed a resolution as follows:
That a committee consisting of the mayor, president of the council, three aldermen. and three councilmen, be and hereby are appointed for the purpose of considering the matter of a celebration, in 1896, of the semi-centennial anniversary of the establish- ment of the city of Manchester. Said committee to consider the time and form of such celebration, the estimated cost thereof, and to make a report with recommendations at some subsequent meeting of the city councils.
The committee to act with Mayor Clarke and President John T. Gott consisted of Aldermen Gardner K. Browning, Johann A. Graf, and Richard J. Barry, and Councilmen Norris P. Colby, John W. Wilson, and William Watts.
On February 28, 1896, the city government passed a vote appropriating $2,000 to defray the expenses of the Semi-Centennial celebration.
