"To see if the town will choose a committee to give a deed of a portion of said meeting house to said society."
The voters did not seem to appreciate the merits of this plan, and dismissed the article at the meeting held December 2.
After the building was moved, it became evident that certain repairs were much needed. This matter was talked over pro and con until some definite plans were settled upon, when a warrant was requested for a meeting. This time the favor was asked for the militia company instead of a church society :
"To the selectmen of the Town of Salem.
"You are hereby requested to call a town meeting to act on the following articles, to see if the Town will repair and alter the old Congregational meeting house, (so called) to make it a suitable town house, viz: To remove the staircase on the southwest side and make a suitable room there for the use of the selectmen to transact town business.
"To replace all the glass, and repair the doors.

"To floor over the second story and make it level with the girts now in the frame, and partition off a suitable passageway to enter the same by the southeast door inside.
"To see if the town will let the second story to the 'Salem Guards' to hold their meetings, and for the safe keeping of their muskets and accoutrements, and to transact any other business that may be necessary to carry the same into effect.
"Salem Jan'y 1, 1844.

Several attempts similar to this were made to put the old build- ing into better condition; but not until the March meeting in 1845 was a plan adopted. This plan was in substance like that outlined above. The work was delayed, however, and a new vote passed March 12, 1846, supplementary to that of the year before. Several of the voters gathered immediately after the meeting and framed a request for a town meeting, to reconsider the two votes here referred to, and see what course the town would take to dispose of the townhouse instead of repairing it. Also to see what action would be taken to provide a house in which to do town business. These efforts to prevent the repair- ing of the building proved futile, and the work of remodelling was undertaken. The accounts show bills varying in date from 1846 to 1851, during which time the house was being put into new arrangement.
Both floors were finished as halls. Downstairs were the select- men's room and the town hall, while the room upstairs was known as Salem Hall. Many lectures, festivals, dances and other entertainments were held in the two halls during the years fol- lowing their completion.
POLITICAL NOTES.
In the presentation of the facts regarding the building of the town we included many references to matters of a political na- ture. In those days, however, before the definition of parties or the growth of the spirit of combined rivalries, the workings of the political powers were too insignificant to require more than

passing mention. In fact, Salem has never been known as a fiery political town, except in a few cases where the turbulent stream of national discussions forced its way in upon the normally quiet elections of the town. A few such heated campaigns will be referred to later.
While we have no complete list of officers appointed by the state, some of the early records at Concord give us the names of prominent citizens of the town who were appointed to office. These, together with some town actions in electing state officers, are here briefly reviewed.
In 1763 it was voted not to choose a grand juryman. Five years later a record tells us that "Deacon John Kelly was then Draughted out of the Box for a Petit Jury man."
The next year, 1769, the town elected its first grand juror, as is indicated thus : "Liut. Oliver Sanders was Chosen grand Juror to Serve at the Next Superior Court to be holden at Ports- mouth on the first tuesday of August Next."
1771. Daniel Massey drawn as petit juror.
1772. Lieut. Jonathan Wheeler was drawn as grand juror and Asa Corless as petit juror.
1774. Capt. Evan Jones was grand juror, Israel Woodbury and Amos Dow petit jurors. At the time these were drawn it was voted not to allow petit jurors anything for their time in attending court.
In 1776 Jesse Merrill was appointed coroner for Rockingham County, and on July 4 Samuel Emerson was made justice of the peace. This latter office was held eight years later by John Allen, Esq., and William Duty was the coroner.
At a meeting of the council held at Exeter, September 19, 1786, Timothy Ladd was nominated justice of the quorum for Rockingham County.
In 1789 and '90 Abraham Dow was justice of the peace. In the latter year Thomas Dow was coroner.
DIVISION OF COUNTIES.
The question of dividing the province of New Hampshire into counties was given serious consideration first in the late sixties. In 1769, when it was proposed to set off a small county on the

CIVIL AND POLITICAL HISTORY.
westerly side of the Merrimack, several petitions were sent to the governor and his council asking that Salem be one of the towns included; that is, that this proposed county should take in towns on both sides of the river. Some of the petitions sought to include the towns of Sandown, Hampstead, Pelham, London- derry, Plaistow, Chester, Bow and others. Among the names with which we are familiar are those of William Clendenin, Rob- ert Clendenin, John Morrison, Jr., and Matthew Taylor, whose families were connected with Salem either at this time or later.
These requests were not granted, as it was felt that a better arrangement would be the grouping of all the towns in the southeastern corner of the state into one county. But even after the divisions were made, March 19, 1771, by act of the provincial legislature, many petitions for changes were presented. Two of these came in as many days from the towns above men- tioned. The first, January 25, 1773, asked that Salem, London- derry, Windham, Pelham, Pembroke and Concord be put into Hillsborough County, as it was too small and Rockingham too large for the "publick good." It was also requested that su- perior court be held twice a year. There were two hundred and fifty-five names on this petition, most of which were from Lon- donderry. The other petition came two days later, and was read in the house January 27. No action was taken thereon, although some few changes were made later, due to the incor- poration of new towns.
STATE AND NATIONAL ORGANIZATION.
When the war for independence broke out many of the towns, then in their infancy, were passing through periods of financial stringency. But the spirit of the times is plainly manifested in the votes of the citizens under these conditions. For instance, at the town meeting in 1775 it was "voted not to raise any money to defray expenses this year." And yet the record has another vote passed at the same meeting, "voted to furnish the money requested to help send delegates from this province to the Conti- nental Congress." It is clearly evident that the congress of the provinces, the support of which was urged by province com- mittees, was considered a far more urgent cause than the current expenses of a town.
182
HISTORY OF SALEM.
At a town meeting January 17, 1788, Lieut. Thomas Dow was chosen a delegate to the convention to be held at Exeter to accept or reject the federal constitution. The convention, consisting of fifty members, met on February 13, 1788. A discussion was car- ried on till February 22, when adjournment was voted, to meet at Concord June 18. When the delegates reassembled they were considerably augmented in numbers. After three days of dis- cussion a vote was taken on the main question of adoption. The result was fifty-seven to forty-seven, in favor of adoption. Lieu- tenant Dow voted nay.
The state constitution was revised by a convention held in 1791. Amos Dow was the delegate from Salem. After some dis- cussion the convention adjourned until January 8, 1792, when a committee reported the new form proposed for the consti- tution. The convention at first rejected the sixth article, but later reconsidered the vote, amended that article, and then voted to adopt the whole constitution as amended. The recommenda- tion of the convention was submitted to the voters of the state for their ratification August 27, 1792. It was adopted by a vote of 2,122 to 978. In Salem the vote was 9 to 1 in favor of adoption.
TOWN POLITICS.
The town meetings were held for a long time on the last Wednesday of March of each year. This was the annual meet- ing, others being called whenever any special need presented itself. Gradually the advantage of having a day uniform throughout the state became apparent. Accordingly the legis- lature passed a bill on December 15, 1787, authorizing the town to hold its annual meeting on the last Wednesday instead of on the first Wednesday. This date was kept until 1804, when the second Tuesday of the same month was taken as the day of meeting, which is still the custom today.
In the latter part of the eighteenth century candidates for town offices became very numerous. In 1791 there were sixteen candidates for senator, and nearly as many for the other offices. Not only this, but the number elected was larger than it is today. There were fourteen surveyors of highways elected that year.
183
CIVIL AND POLITICAL HISTORY.
The business of an annual meeting could not possibly be handled in a single session, sometimes as many as eight adjourned meet- ings being necessary before the warrant was disposed of.
It was about this time that officers began to be designated as from the "North part" or the "South part" of the town. At the north the Gordons and Dustons wielded a strong influence and built up a political following that gave them considerable power in the elections.
But party strife, as incited by national issues, had not yet begun to show itself to any degree. No doubt the politicians of the town were seriously wrought up in the days of Jackson, Harrison and other noted national campaigners. The greatest contest, however, came in the days that preceded the War of the Rebellion, when parties were shifting, dissolving, reorganizing, in an attempt to gain a more secure position. The names of the participants in this struggle in Salem are so familiar to us today that a brief rehearsal of the story is here presented.
The trouble began in earnest in March, 1854. At the Whig caucus held on the eleventh of the month, John R. Wheeler was nominated moderator. This was on Saturday evening. An ad- journment was declared till Monday, which gave an opportunity for further perfecting the plans for the campaign. When the meeting was opened Edwin S. Woodbury was nominated for town clerk and Darius M. Thom for representative. Town meeting was held the next day, when Thom was beaten by Enoch Taylor for representative, but John R. Wheeler was elected moderator.
It was "discovered" that the warrant had not been posted the requisite number of days, and the election was consequently illegal. The meeting at once adjourned sine die. A new war- rant was posted the next day, March 15, and the election held March 31. Wheeler was again elected moderator, Taylor repre- sentative, and Joseph Webster was chosen town clerk. The selectmen were John R. Wheeler, John Taylor, Jr., and Isaac Woodbury. William G. Crowell was overseer of the poor.
Matters continued in a state of agitation for the following year. In the spring of 1855 three caucuses were held on the same evening, March 10. The Whigs were at the town hall, Democrats at Israel Woodbury's, and a party known as Union-
184

ists at Salem hall. This was about the time of the breaking up of the old Know Nothing party. About thirty of its members refused to join in the attempts to form a Fremont club. How- ever, every effort was made to coerce or drive them into the Re- publican party, but without avail. They became known as the Americans, and for several years wielded great power in the town elections. Many prominent men were in the Know Noth- ing party.
In 1855 the Americans elected their entire ticket, and were victorious again in 1856. John R. Wheeler's election as repre- sentative was contested, but without avail. The Whigs and Americans united in the convention held at Concord. Among the citizens of the latter party were J. C. Ayer, John H. Lan- caster, Ansel Merrill, Dr. Jonathan H. Merrill, Samuel P. Kelly, Alpheus J. Smith, Charles Pattee, Samuel K. Abbott and others.
It was during the great Fremont campaign in the fall of 1856 that the flagstaff on the common was set, the topmast being put in place on November 3. No campaign in Salem ever equalled this in enthusiasm. The Fremont Club had been organized at Salem Hall on August 16, with Levi Emery, Jr., as president. During the next few weeks a great boom for Fremont was ex- hibited on all sides. Rallies were held, at which the audiences were addressed by prominent speakers from various cities in this state and Massachusetts, some coming from Boston and vicinity. On these occasions torchlight parades were formed, including the companies from Methuen and Lawrence. Fireworks displays were added to increase the general excitement and ardor. This program was persisted in until election day, in order that all possible votes from wavering citizens might be turned into the Fremont total.
On election day John H. Lancaster was chosen moderator. The vote of Salem was as follows: Fremont 174, Buchanan 170, Fillmore 27. Election returns were very slow in arriving, so that it was several days before the result was made certain. During this time the people of Salem could plainly hear guns firing in the direction of Lawrence, telling of rejoicing as the returns came in.
The town meeting of 1858 brought the first victory to the

newly organized Republican party. This was the last year of the old political conditions. In 1859 the Know Nothing party went out of existence. This was the climax of the readjustment that had been going on for the few years past. The Fremonters employed all manner of abuse against the Americans, who would not unite with them, but who had too great an influence in a field so evenly divided to be neglected when counting results or votes. Many caucuses were held, and in different parts of the town meetings for planning the campaign were convened. This is said to have been the most hotly contested election in the his- tory of Salem. Every voter was carefully canvassed, and no means left by either party to the sole use of the other. The re- sult was finally determined by the joining of the Americans with the Democrats.
The town meeting lasted three days, beginning March 8. On that day the Republicans elected George N. Austin town clerk by a very narrow majority. John F. Tenney, the Democratic candidate for moderator, was elected by one vote, and was also elected representative. The meeting then balloted three times for the second representative, but without obtaining a majority. John H. Lancaster was the candidate of the Americans and Dem- ocrats, and Joseph Webster of the Republicans. The next day the fourth ballot was taken, with the result that Lancaster was elected. Also the two united parties succeeded in putting in Charles Kimball and Alburtus Coburn as the first two selectmen. The Republicans elected George W. Merrill third selectman, three auditors, Asa S. Austin, Gilman E. Sleeper and Edward Griffin, and the overseer of the poor, Benjamin Foster.
The next year, 1860, an interesting reaction took place, when the Republicans ''got square" for the last defeat by electing every candidate on the ticket.
In 1864, when the question of giving Abraham Lincoln a second term at the White House was up for settlement, the vote in Salem was very close. Many of the friends of the soldiers were strongly in favor of Mcclellan. But he was beaten here by three votes, receiving 186 while Lincoln had 189.
The next party organization was effected on February 25, 1874. Rev. Dr. Blackmer of Sandwich, the Prohibition candi-

date for governor, addressed a meeting in the town hall. The party was organized here with John Ellenwood as its president.
TOWN OFFICERS.
We present here the lists of the principal officers of the town since 1743. It will be found that usually the selectmen have served for more than one term, the rule being that they should move up one step each year until three terms have been served. This rule, however, has very frequently been reverted, in fact, so often as to become at times almost obscured. It is by no means a rare occurrence to have an entirely new board, this having occurred fifty-four times since the town was incorporated. In ten of these years none of the board had served the town before as selectmen, although until the election in 1907 this condition had not been the case since 1865.
