TOWN TREASURERS.
In the choice of town treasurers the action of the towns of New Hampshire has not been uniform. A few towns, from the date of organization, have annually elected a treasurer, but many com- mitted the custody of the town money to the selectmen. Since the act of 1850 a treasurer has been elected or appointed by the select- men in all of the towns of the State, and previous to the act of 1889, in many towns one of the selectmen was elected or appointed a town treasurer.
So far as discovered in the records, the town of Plymouth, with the exception of three years, did not elect or appoint a town treas- urer until 1851. In 1805 Samuel Emerson was chosen at the annual meeting, and a few weeks later, at a special town meeting, he was excused from continued service. Moor Russell was the town treasurer for the years 1820 and 1821. The treasurers since 1851 follow.

JUSTICES OF THE PEACE.
In colonial times, and during the earlier history of the State, the title of Esquire was the unquestioned evidence of distinction and honor. It was assumed by the judges of the courts, sheriffs, coroners, and justices of the peace.
After the organization of Grafton County, and during the two remaining years that New Hampshire was a province under the Crown, the justices of the peace were appointed by Gov. John Wentworth. The executive records of this period are not preserved, and the official record of the appointments is not available. From other sources of information it appears that eighteen or more citizens of Grafton County were justices of the peace before the Revolution. They were: John Fenton and David Hobart of

HISTORY OF PLYMOUTH.
Plymouth, Asa Porter and John Hurd of Haverhill, Rev. Eleazar Wheelock and Bezaleel Woodward of Hanover, Moses Little of Campton, Daniel Brainerd of Rumney, Israel Morey of Orford, John Wheatly of Lebanon, Samuel Gilbert of Lyme, Timothy Bedel of Bath, Joshua Merrill of Warren, Edwards Bucknam of Lancaster, Joseph Peverly and Joseph Holbrook of Northumber- land, and Seth Wales of Columbia.
During the Revolution, and while the temporary constitution was in force, the justices of the peace were appointed by the legis- lature and commissioned by the president of the council. In 1776 Samuel Emerson of Plymouth was appointed a justice of the peace, and the same year Francis Worcester and James Harvell were appointed coroners for the county. In 1778 Francis Worces- ter was appointed a justice of the peace. It is probable that Moses Dow and David Hobart were justices of the peace after 1776 and while they were residents of Plymouth, but a record of their ap- pointment is not found. Joseph Senter, then of Holderness, and later of Plymouth, was appointed in 1776.
Since the adoption of the State constitution of 1784, justices of the peace for the term of five years have been appointed by the governor and council. The following table contains the names of the citizens of Plymouth who have been appointed, and the date of their first appointment. Several of these removed from town before their first commission expired, while others, by reappoint- ments, have held commissions many years.

CORONERS.
Since 1784 the following citizens of Plymouth have been com- missioned coroners of Grafton County : -

NOTARIES PUBLIC.
Very probably to meet the demands of the Pemigewasset Bank, Dr. Samuel Rogers was commissioned a notary public in 1826. Walter Blair, in 1830, and Benjamin Bayley, in 1831, were com- missioned to the same office. Not until the statutes more clearly defined the powers and duties of notaries were many appointed in this State. The later appointments to this office have been more numerous.

THE POLITICAL SENTIMENT OF PLYMOUTH.
From the close of the Revolution until 1796, and from about 1820 to 1828, appropriately called the era of good feeling, there was no clear division of the voters on party lines. During these two eras in the history of New Hampshire the popular vote was more an expression of a preference for men than of the support of measures. Such seasons of absence from party strife, if inter- esting to the independent voter, are an unnatural condition in American politics. The typical voter of New Hampshire demands a contest. In the fullest exercise of his political privileges, he must defeat one candidate while he elects another; he must have a man and a party to vote against as well as one to support. Possibly he finds a keener delight in the overthrow of his opponents than in the triumph of his associates. In a limited measure this sentiment is commendable. A voter should have faith in his party and con- fidence in his candidates, and whenever he wins, let him enjoy the consolation that right has prevailed.
An analysis of the election returns of New Hampshire reveals the fact that in many of the towns a majority of the voters, from 1784 to 1820, were federalists, and later, upon the imperfectly defined issues between the supporters of Adams and of Jackson, they supported the Adams party, becoming whigs and later republi- cans. In a larger number of towns a majority early became anti- federalists, then Jackson men, and, later, democrats. Another group of towns has remained many years so evenly divided be- tween the opposing parties that small majorities have been given to one and the other party. Plymouth, with an exceptional record, belongs to neither of these three classes. At many of the early
576
HISTORY OF PLYMOUTH.
elections the town was strongly federalist, but sometimes express- ing preferences for men without regard to party considerations. During the era of good feeling the vote of any town is without sig- nificance. On the issues between the Adams and the Jackson parties the town of Plymouth at first was nearly evenly divided, the Jackson party making substantial gains at successive elections. Commencing 1840, the town was strongly democratic until 1855. The only exception to the triumph of the democrats during this period was the vote for governor in 1848, when Nathaniel S. Berry, the whig candidate for governor, obtained a plurality of nineteen votes, but in November of the same year, in the presidential election, the democrats carried the town by a large majority. From 1855 to the present time there have been many warmly contested elections. In the vote for governor since 1855 the repub- licans have cast the larger vote twenty-four and the democrats fourteen times.
In the following table of election returns the candidates of the federalist, Adams, whig, and republican parties are placed in the first column. The second column contains the candidates of the anti-federalist, Jackson, and democratic parties. The reader, how- ever, will generously note that during a part of the era of good feeling a proper classification cannot be made. In the last column the name of the successful candidate for governor is stated. In the second table, presenting the vote for presidential electors, the parties are indicated by the name of the candidate for president.
