convention, spoken and voted against the new Federal constitution. February 24th, Judge Yates formally accepted the nomination. Three days later, Chief Justice Richard Morris of Westchester, who was favored by many Federalists, renounced the proposition to non- inate him. Of the 12,353 freeholders who were then allowed to vote for Governor, Clinton received 6,391, Yates 5,962 votes. The Federalists carried the counties of New York, Westchester, Dutchess, Columbia, Albany and Montgomery. Governor Clinton was the only nominee on the Republican or anti-Federalist ticket who was elected. The county of Ulster, where he began his pub- lic career, saved him, for out of 1,245 votes cast he obtained all but 106. The Council of Appointment consisted of Samuel Townsend of Queens, Peter Van Ness of Albany; Generals John Hathorn of Orange and John Williams of Charlotte (Washington), all anti- Federalists.
At this session of the Legislature a bill was passed providing for the election of two United States senators, but it was vetoed by the Council of Revision. A two-thirds vote of the Legislature not being available to revoke the action of the Council of Revision, the Legislature by joint resolution appointed General Philip Schuyler and Rufus King as United States senators from New York.
