This was the last election of state and county officers in an annual March meeting. Henceforth, the elections of these officers have been upon the Tuesday after the first Monday in November, biennially, in the even years, beginning with 1878, their terms of service beginning in the years following the elections. Another change was also introduced. The solicitors, sheriffs, and registers of probate, who had heretofore been appointed by the "Governor and Council," have been since 1878 elected by the voters of their respective counties.
We must pause here, to make certain observations and to supply de- ficiencies.
Major Joseph Willard of Keene was chosen by the provincial assembly, Mar. 28, 1771, and qualified Apr. 5, 1771, as the register of deeds and convey- ances for Cheshire County, immediately after the formation of the county, and was continued in office until the election of Mr. Bellows, under the new govern- ment. After the overthrow of the provincial government and the establishment of an independent government, the New Hampshire legislature removed the officers appointed by the provincial authorities, and Benjamin Bellows of Wal- pole was elected as the second recorder of deeds by the same legislature, Jan. 26, 1776. He held this office, by legislative and popular re-elections, a quarter of a century, until Abel Bellows was elected in 1802, as the preceding votes show. All subsequent registers of deeds have been elected at the regular elections for county officers, and their names appear in these lists, as the first (sometimes the only) candidate for each election.
The first county treasurer was Daniel Jones of Hinsdale, who was ap- pointed, 1771*, immediately after the formation of the new county of Cheshire, by virtue of a warrant from the justices of the quarter sessions court. He con-

tinued to hold that office until the election, Jan. 26, 1776, of Thomas Sparhawk of Walpole, by the revolutionary legislature which overthrew the provincial government. Mr. Sparhawk was continued in office by appointment of the justices and by popular election until 1790, when he was succeeded by John Ilubbard of Charlestown. A statement in one of the N. H. Registers that Mr. Hubbard was first elected in 1796 is wrong. A zero in some manuscript date was obviously mistaken for a six, making 1790 appear as 1796. All subsequent treasurers of the county are found in these records of votes, the successful candi- date for each election being the one whose name is next after the abbreviation, Tr., sometimes the only name.
In the old rosters at Concord, it is recorded that a board of five road com- missioners was appointed for Cheshire County, May 16, 1829, consisting of John Wood of Keene, Aaron Hodgkins (sometimes spelled Hodskins) of Westmore- land, Elijah Belding of Swanzey, Sam. Griffin of Roxbury, and Francis Matson of Stoddard. Beginning with 1841, to and including 1855, three road commis- sioners were annually chosen by the county. The names of the three elected each year are the first three in each list after the abbreviation, R. Coms. In 1856, three county commissioners were chosen for terms of one, two, and three years respectively, whose names are the first three in the vote list for that year, after the abbreviation, Coms. From 1856, to and including the March election of 1878, one county commissioner was chosen for three years, whose name, in the election lists, is first after the abbreviation, Com. At each biennial election, beginning with 1878, three county commissioners have been chosen, whose names are the first three, in the election lists, after the abbreviation, Coms.
Solicitors were first elected in the autumn of 1878, the successful candidate being the one whose name is first after the abbreviation, Sol., in the lists. Those previously appointed by the " Governor and Council," with the dates of appoint- ment, are the following : Daniel Newcomb of Keene, Aug. 6, 1789; Peleg Sprague of Keene, Nov. 26, 1792 ; Geo. B. Upham of Claremont, Dec. 14, 1796; Francis Gardner of Walpole, June 20, 1806; Henry Hubbard of Charlestown, Dec. 8, 1820; Levi Chamberlain of Fitzwilliam (later of Keene), Sept. 1, 1827; Freder- ick Vose of Walpole, Sept. 4, 1832; Aldis Lovell of Walpole, Sept. 26, 1835; Wm. P. Wheeler of Keene, Oct. 10, 1845 ; Francis A. Faulkner of Keene, Nov. 2, 1855; Farnum F. Lane of Keene, Jan. 3, 1863; Leonard Wellington of Keene, Jan. 3, 1873; Don H. Woodward of Keene, July 18, 1874; Daniel K. Healey of Keene, July 25, 1876, who continued in office until the biennial elections began.
The sheriffs of the county (often called high sheriffs) began to be elected by the voters of the county with the beginning of the biennial elections in 1878, the successful candidate at each election being the one whose name first appears in the election lists after the abbreviation, Sh. Those previously appointed for the county by the " Governor and Council," with dates of appointment, were the following: Josiah Willard of Keene, in 1771 (probably on July 16); Sam. Hunt of Charlestown, Jan. 27, 1776 (declined to serve) ; Enoch Hale of Rindge, June 28, 1776 (in place of Hunt) ; Sam. Hunt of Charlestown, Feb. 28, 1783; Thomas Bellows of Walpole, Oct. 1, 1799; who held the office almost 33 years; Elijah Carpenter of Swanzey, Sept. 4, 1832; Geo. Huntington of Walpole, Sept. 5,

1842 ; John Foster of Keene, Sept. 5, 1847; Warham R. Platts of Chesterfield, Sept. 5, 1852 ; Bolivar Lovell of Alstead, July 13, 1855; Geo. W. Holbrook of Surry, July 1, 1865; Elisha F. Lane of Keene, July II, 1870; Edward P. Kim- ball of Troy, July 18, 1874; Ralph J. Holt of Keene, July 25, 1876, who served until (and after) the election of sheriff commenced.
The registers of probate for the county began to be elected by the people with the fall election of 1878. Those previously appointed by the "Governor and Council " were the following, with dates of appointment : Thomas Spar- hawk of Walpole, July 16, 1771 ; Ichabod Fisher of Keene, Jan. 27, 1776; Micah Lawrence of Walpole, Mar. 25, 1785 ; Sam. Stevens of Charlestown, Feb. 8, 1794 ; Frederick A. Sumner of Charlestown, Nov. 10, 1823; Asa Parker of Jaffrey, Sept. 1, 1827; Elijah Sawyer of Swanzey, Nov. 1, 1833; Geo. F. Starkweather of Keene, Jan. 17, 1847; Geo. W. Sturtevant of Keene, Dec. 13, 1851, from and after Jan. 17, 1852; Calvin May, Jr., of Gilsum (soon removed to Keene), Dec. 4, 1856, to take effect after Jan. 17, 1857; Silas Hardy of Keene (formerly of Nelson), in place of C. May, Jr., resigned, Jan. 7, 1859 ; Geo. Ticknor of Keene (in place of S. Hardy, promoted to be probate judge), Mar. 18, 1864; Allen Giffin of Marlow (later of Keene), Nov. 9, 1866; Frank H. Hills of Keene, Nov. 7, 1871; Dauphin W. Buckminster of Keene (in place of F. Hills, resigned), May 9, 1873, who served until and after the beginning of the election of the register of probate by the people. Those elected in the fall of 1878 and since are the first names in the records of votes after the abbreviation, Pr.
It will be convenient here to name the judges of probate, who have always been appointed by the "Governor and Council." With dates of appointment, they have been the following : Simeon Olcott of Charlestown, Jan. 29, 1771 (on authority of G. Parker Lyon in a N. H. Register) ; Thos. Sparhawk of Walpole, Jan. 26, 1776; John Hubbard of Charlestown, July 16, 1789; Sanford Kingsbury of Claremont, Dec. 20, 1797; John Hubbard of Walpole (not the same man as the former John Hubbard), June 20, 1798; Benjamin West of Charlestown, Apr. 14, 1802; Abel Parker of Jaffrey, May 17, 1802; Samuel Dinsmoor of Keene, Mar. 24, 1823; Aaron Matson of Stoddard, June 17, 1831 ; Frederick Vose of Walpole, Sept. 26, 1835; Larkin Baker of Westmoreland, Nov. 12 (or 13), 1841 ; Silas Hardy of Keene, Mar. 18, 1864; Harvey Carleton of Winches- ter, July 18, 1874; Josiah G. Bellows of Walpole, July 25, 1876; John T. Abbott of Keene, Jan. 17, 1894; John E. Allen of Keene, Jan. 11, 1900.
The first Senate of New Hampshire was inaugurated by the constitution of 1783, which went into effect, except for the election of officers, on the first Wednesday in June, 1784. The 12 senators were elected, at first, by counties, Cheshire County (then including what is now Sullivan County) choosing two each year. Those chosen in 1784 were Simeon Olcott of Charlestown and Enoch Hale of Walpole; in 1785, Moses Chase of Cornish and John Bellows of Wal- pole ; in 1786, John Bellows of Walpole and Amos Shepard of Alstead; in 1787, the same men ; in 1788, Amos Shepard of Alstead and Moses Chase of Cornish. The two elected each year from 1789 to 1792, both years inclusive, appear as the first two names in the yearly record of votes, after the abbreviation, Sen. After that date, the district including Sullivan, whose limits were occasionally changed, sent one man each year until the spring of 1878. The successful candi-

date in each year is the one whose name in the list is first after the abbrevia- tion, Sen.
Railroad commissioners were formerly appointed by the "Governor and Council." In 1852, and until 1878, one was yearly elected by the people. Their names are given in the yearly vote lists, the successful candidate being the first named after the abbreviation, R. R. Com. In the biennial elections of 1878, 1880, and 1882, three railroad commissioners were chosen at each election, the names of the successful three being named as first three in the vote lists, after the abbreviation, R. R. Coms. Since then, those officers have been appointed by the " Governor and Council." See " Manual for the Gen. Court," 1891, p. 126.
The governors of the state are all named in the Manual for the General Court, No. 2, for 1891, page 118, with continuation in subsequent manuals. The councillors of the state are all named in the same manual on page 121. All of the governors and councillors until the end of the Revolutionary period are given with great fulness and accuracy in the Manual for the General Court, No. 5, for 1897, pages 1-36. These manuals are easy of access, and the long lists cannot here be given. To make our lists complete, since the constitution went into effect in 1784, we will add that the presidents (as the chief executives were then called) from 1784 to 1789, when Sullivan began voting, were Meshech Weare, chosen in 1784, a Federalist ; John Langdon (el. by senate), an Anti Fed., in 1785; John Sullivan, a Fed., in 1786; John Sullivan (el. by senate) a Fed., in 1787; and John Langdon, an Anti Fed., in 1788. Since then, the successful candidate is indicated as the first name in the vote lists. In the same time, be- fore 1793, there were five councillors : Moses Chase of Cornish, for 1784 and 1787 ; Amos Shepard of Alstead, for 1785 and 1786; Josiah Richardson of Keene, for 1788; Sanford Kingsbury of Claremont, for 1789; Lemuel Holmes of Surry, for 1790 to 1792. All future councillors are those whose names appear first in the vote lists, after the abbreviation, Cou.
These lists of county officers are the most complete and accurate of any yet to be found in any single volume. Henceforth the elections have been biennial, beginning with 1878, upon the Tuesday after the first Monday in No- vember.
