In 1820 the board consisted of : first ward, Ezra S. Cozier, John E. Hinman; second ward, Abram E. Culver, James Hooker; third ward, Ezekiel Bacon, Thomas Walker. The governor appointed Rudolph Snyder president of the board.
In 1821 the board of trustees consisted of : first ward, Benjamin Ballou, Jr., John Baxter; second ward, James Hooker, John H. Hardy; third ward, Thomas Walker, David P. Hoyt; Ezra S. Cozier was appointed president.
In 1822 Mr. Cozier was again designated as president, and the board of trustees consisted of: first ward, John Baxter, Benjamin Ballou, Jr .; second ward, Ezekiel Bacon, Richard R. Lansing; third ward, Thomas Walker, David P. Hoyt.
For the first time the subject of paving the streets seems to have been se- riously considered, and it was voted to pave from the Canal to the south line of Whitesboro and Main streets. For the information of those who have never seen the first pavement used in this part of the country, it is well to state that the pavements consisted of cobble stones, ranging from four inches in diameter to a foot, and, although these pavements for a time prevented the streets becoming deep with mud, they were uneven, and the stones did not re- main in place for a long time because of the poor foundation; when the stones were out of place the pavements were horrible to drive over, and at best they were very noisy.
In 1823 the board of trustees consisted of: first ward, James Hooker, Ben- jamin Ballou, Jr .; Daniel Stafford, Ezekiel Bacon, second ward; third ward, Thomas Walker, Jesse W. Doolittle.
In 1824 the board of trustees consisted of: first ward, Benjamin Ballou, James Hooker; second ward, Ezekiel Bacon, James Lynch; third ward, Thomas Walker, Nicholas Smith.
In 1825 the board of trustees consisted of: first ward, Benjamin Ballou, Riley Rogers; second ward, William H. Maynard, Charles Morris; third ward, Nicholas Smith, John R. Ludlow; William Clark was appointed president.
During the year 1825 the Erie Canal was completed, and a great celebra- tion occurred in the city in honor of that event. It was also in this year that General LaFayette paid a visit to this country, and was received with great demonstrations wherever he appeared. The reception of LaFayette in Utica was in June, and Judge Nathan Williams was chairman of the committee of reception.
In 1826 the board of trustees consisted of : first ward, John E. Hinman, Riley Rogers; second ward, Abram E. Culver, Amos Gay; third ward, Nicholas Smith, John R. Ludlow. Ezra S. Cozier was appointed president of the board. It is stated that the clerk of the board had up to that year acted without salary. but that by resolution of the board he was to rceive $50 per year for his ser- vices.
In 1827 the board of trustees consisted of: first ward, John H. Ostrom, Au-

gustus G. Dauby; second ward, Abram E. Culver, Thomas Colling; third ward, Amos Gay, Chester Griswold; fourth ward, Augustus Hurlburt, Nicholas Devereux ; the president appointed by the governor was Ezra S. Cozier. An at- torney for the village was appointed for the first time during this year.
In 1828 the board of trustees consisted of: first ward, John Ostrom and James Platt; second ward, Abraham Culver, Thomas Colling; third ward, Chester Griswold, Augustus Hurlburt; fourth ward, Nicholas Devereux, Robert R. Lansing. William Clark was appointed by the governor as president of the board.
In 1829 the board of trustees consisted of: first ward, John Williams, Rut- ger B. Miller; second ward, Abraham E. Culver, Thomas Colling; third ward, Andrew S. Pond, Sylvester Doolittle; fourth ward, Robert McBride, Asahel Seward. The president of the board was William Clark. The clerk and vil- lage attorney was John G. Floyd.
In 1830 the board of trustees consisted of : first ward, John Williams, Ches- ter Griswold; second ward, Thomas Colling, Rudolph Snyder; third ward, Syl- vester Doolittle, A. S. Pond; fourth ward, Robert McBride, Rutger B. Miller. The other important officers remained substantially as in the previous year.
The last village election ever held was that of the year 1831, and the board of trustees consisted of E. S. Comstock, John Williams, first ward; second ward, Thomas Colling, Theodore S. Faxton; third ward, A. S. Pond, Sylvester Doo- little; fourth ward, Robert McBride, Rutger B. Miller. The other important officers of the village were substantially the same as in the year previous.
There are no means of ascertaining to what extent politics entered into the election of village officers-whether the two great parties divided and made separate nominations, or whether the citizens, as such, and irrespective of party, elected the village officers. From the character of the men who filled these places in early days it would seem as though the very best element in the com- munity took charge of public affairs, and this being the case, unquestionably the best interests of the inhabitants were subserved, and the village, from its first incorporation until it became a city, was well governed.
The village of Utica was merged into the city of Utica by act of February 13, 1832, known as chapter 19 of the laws of that year, and entitled "An act to incorporate the city of Utica." The territory included within the limits of the city at that time is described in the charter as follows: Beginning at a point on the south side of the Mohawk river, where the division line between lots number 99 and 100 in Cosby's Manor strikes said river; thence running southerly in the said division line, to a point 50 chains southerly of the great road leading to Fort Stanwix ; thence south 53 degrees east, to the easterly line of the county of Oneida; thence northerly in the said county line to the Mo- hawk river; thence westerly up the middle of said river to the place of be- ginning. Section 3 divided the city into four wards, as follows: That part which lies easterly of the middle of Genesee street and northerly of the center of the Erie canal, shall be the first ward: That part which lies westerly of the middle of Genesee street and northerly of the center of the said canal, shall be the second ward: That part which lies westerly of the middle of Genesee street, and southerly of the center of the said canal, shall be the third ward:
216
HISTORY OF ONEIDA COUNTY
And that part which lies easterly of the middle of Genesee street, and south- erly of the center of said canal, shall be the fourth ward. It was provided by the charter that there should be a mayor, twelve aldermen, that is, three from each ward, four justices of the peace, one clerk, one surveyor, one treasurer, one or more collectors, four assessors, three constables, and such other officers as should be provided for thereafter. The common council was authorized to appoint three persons, residents of the respective wards, as inspectors of elec- tion. It was also provided that the trustees of the village of Utica, or such persons as they should appoint, should be inspectors of the first election. The common council was to consist of the mayor and the aldermen, and the mayor was to preside at the meetings of that body. By the 38th, 39th and 40th sec- tions the common council was given general authority over the city's affairs. From time to time this charter was amended, until it became one of the most troublesome pieces of patchwork that ever existed for the government of a city. Although the municipality thrived under a very poor charter, it was a relief when the population of the city was such that under the general statutes of the state Utica became a city of the second-class, which occurred in the year 1907.
Records have not been attainable to show the elections from the time of the organization of the city down to 1842. It appears that after the incorporation of the city the lines were more sharply drawn between the political parties than before that date, and Whig and Democrat became the dividing line.
Joseph Kirkland was the first mayor in 1832; Henry Seymour was the sec- ond, in 1833; Joseph Kirkland in 1834-35; John H. Ostrom in 1836; Charles P. Kirkland in 1838; John C. Devereux in 1839-40, and Spencer Kellogg in 1841. From this time to the close of 1911 we are able to give the vote at every election of mayor in the city of Utica.
It would seem that party spirit induced the two great parties to nominate a candidate for mayor at every election, except on certain occasions, when the citizens put forth their efforts to control the election, and were at times suc- cessful. There is nothing of general interest in regard to the elections except in a few instances, but it is noteworthy that the parties were so evenly divided both sides could go into a contest with assurances of victory, and the control of the city shifted from one party to the other quite frequently. On one occasion, in 1859, the candidates were John C. Hoyt, Republican, and Charles S. Wilson, Democrat. Mr. Hoyt was born in Utica, his father being one of the early set- tlers, was a man of high standing, and commanded the support of his party. Mr. Wilson was cashier of the city bank, a Scotchman by birth, an active poli- tician, and was frequently a candidate for the office of mayor. The result of the election was a tie, and Roscoe Conkling, who had been elected in 1858, held over, but before the year 1859 expired he resigned, and the common council ap- pointed Charles S. Wilson mayor.
During the civil war, when party spirit ran high, the Republicans (or Union- ists, as they were then called), succeeded in electing Theodore S. Faxton in 1864, John Butterfield in 1865, and James McQuade in 1866.
After the war the city became more Democratic, and the candidate of that party usually was successful in the election for several years. The first Re-

publican to be elected after the war was Theodore F. Butterfield, who succeeded against Charles K. Grannis in 1872. Theodore S. Sayre also defeated Miles C. Comstock in 1874. The next Republican to be successful was David H. Gaf- fin in 1877. A three-cornered fight occurred in 1878, and James Benton was elected by a plurality over Theodore F. Butterfield, Republican, and Charles E. Barnard, Democrat. Mr. Benton, who was a prominent builder and contractor, was nominated by the Workingmen. A lively canvass was made, and, although Mr. Benton was a rich man, being one of the largest owners of real estate in the city, he commanded the respect of the workingmen and they supported him gen- erally, no matter to what party they belonged.
The Democrats were successful afterward until 1881, when James Miller, Republican, defeated J. Thomas Spriggs, Democrat, by less than 100 majority.
In 1882 three tickets were again in the field. The citizens' ticket was headed by Francis M. Burdick, who was a lawyer, and who, at the present time, is dean of the Law department of Columbia College in New York city. He was a Democrat in politics, but a conservative man of high character. The Repub- licans nominated Isaac P. Bielby, and the Democrats nominated Charles A. Doolittle. Mr. Burdick was supported generally by the Republicans, and was elected by something over 200 plurality.
In 1883 ex-Mayor James Miller was again nominated by the Republicans, and Charles A. Doolittle by the Democrats. Mr. Miller had been a soldier in the civil war, had once been elected mayor, but in this contest he was defeated by Mr. Doolittle, who was a son of Judge Charles H. Doolittle, a lawyer by pro- fession, but who never practiced at the bar, as it was distasteful to him in con- sequence of a lack of robust health to endure the rough and tumble of that profession.
In 1884 the Republicans nominated James S. Sherman and the Democrats LeRoy H. Shattuck. Mr. Shattuck was a business man of good standing, but he did not have the backing of his own party at this election. Mr. Sherman, now Vice President of the United States, was a young attorney, active in poli- tics, and, having ability and character, as subsequent developments showed, entered into the contest with great vigor, and succeeded in carrying the city by a very large majority. This was Mr. Sherman's entry into politics. It is scarcely necessary to say that since that time he has given his life to the public, and the record which he has made seems to justify his choice.
In 1885 there were again three tickets in the field. John L. Earll was nom- inated by the Republicans, Patrick F. Quinlan by the Democrats, and Thomas E. Kinney by the Citizens. Although Mr. Earll was a man of great culture and excellent standing in the community, he could not command the support of the Republican party, a large portion of that party supporting Mr. Kinney, and, with the Democratic vote which Mr. Kinney received, he was elected by a substantial plurality. At the election of 1886 Mr. Kinney was nominated by the Democrats and elected over James Miller. Mr. Kinney was again elected in 1887 virtually without opposition.
In 1890 there were three tickets again in the field. Willard D. Ball was nominated by the Republicans, Alexander T. Goodwin by the Democrats, and Thomas W. Spencer by what was known as the People's party. Mr. Goodwin
218
HISTORY OF ONEIDA COUNTY
received a plurality of votes at this election. He was elected for two years instead of one, because of an amendment to the statute extending the term, but in 1892 the term of office was again changed to one year. In that year Thomas Wheeler was the Republican candidate, and Nicholas E. Kernan was nominated by the Democrats. Mr. Wheeler had been a soldier in the civil war, and was a coal dealer at this time. Mr. Kernan was a member of the law firm of Kernan & Kernan, and was also engaged in manufacturing, being connected with several of the large industries in the city. Mr. Wheeler was elected by a substantial majority.
In 1893 the term of office was changed to two years. Thomas Wheeler was the Republican candidate, and John G. Gibson, who was a practicing attorney of high standing, was nominated by the Democrats and elected.
It is a remarkable fact that some of the candidates for mayor were nom- inated at one time by one party, and at another time by another party, but no one seems to have been more fortunate in his political aspirations than Thomas E. Kinney, who was twice elected by the Democrats, once elected with- out opposition, and in 1897 he was nominated and elected by the Republicans against John G. Gibson, Democrat.
From 1897 down to 1907 the Democrats were uniformly successful in elect- ing the mayor, but Thomas Wheeler was again nominated by the Republicans in 1907, and Thomas S. Jones was nominated by the Democrats. Mr. Jones was a prominent lawyer, had twice been district attorney of the county and was head of the law firm of Jones, Townsend & Rudd. The canvass was a very exciting one, and resulted in the selection of Mr. Wheeler by a substantial ma- jority.
In 1909 Mr. Wheeler was renominated, but was defeated by Frederick E. Gillmore, Democrat.
The year 1911 was rather a peculiar one in the politics of Oneida county. The county had given a Democratic majority for governor because of the con- troversy between Vice President Sherman and ex-President Theodore Roosevelt. The Republican party was rent asunder, and it required some time to heal the wounds of the battles, but in 1911 the party was so far reconciled that a city ticket was substantially agreed upon before the convention was held, and was carried through by a unanimous vote of the convention. The Republican candidate for mayor was Frank J. Baker, who was at the time president of the common council; had been an alderman; was a florist and held a prominent place among the business men of the city. The Democratic convention was made up to renominate Mayor Gillmore, but he refused to be considered as a candidate, and gave them to understand that if nominated he would not accept. This resulted in the nomination of James D. Smith.
The political canvass in the city of Utica for mayor was an enthusiastic one, because of the popularity of Mr. Baker, the Republican candidate. The Demo- cratic organization made a determined fight for its candidate, James D. Smith, but it was absolutely outranked, and the result was an unusual victory for the Republican party. For the first time in many years the Republicans succeeded in electing their mayor and a majority of the common council. Mr. Baker was elected by a plurality of 354. The result upon the other candidates in the
219
HISTORY OF ONEIDA COUNTY
city was the election of Clarence Stetson, Rep., president of the common coun- cil, by a plurality of 154 over Curtis F. Alliaume; Fred G. Reusswig, Rep., comptroller, by a plurality of 260 over John H. Newman; James J. Devereux, Dem., city treasurer, by a plurality of 618 over Robert O. Morris; James K. O'Connor, Ind. Dem., city judge, by a plurality of about 2,337 over John T. Buckley, Rep., and a plurality of 2,736 over John F. Gaffney, Dem., Christian Bodmer, Rep., assessor, by a plurality of 350 over Frank Andes; T. William Arthur, assessor, by a plurality of 723 over Henry Lanz; Joseph Hopkins, Dem., justice of the peace, by a plurality of 54 over Benjamin F. Roberts; Leon L. Arthur, Rep., justice of the peace, by a plurality of 383 over Woodward Guile.
