Palmer Anti-Masonic Party Silas H. Jennison (acting) Whig Party (United States) The 1835 Vermont gubernatorial election was held on September 1, 1835. Incumbent Anti-Masonic governor William A. Palmer contested the election with Democratic nominee William Czar Bradley and Whig nominee Charles Paine. Since no candidate received a majority in the popular vote, the state constitution required the Vermont General Assembly and Vermont Executive Council to meet in joint convention and elect a governor. After 63 inconclusive ballots, the General Assembly adjourned on November 2 without making a choice. As a result, Silas H. Jennison, who had been elected Lieutenant Governor with Whig and Anti-Masonic support, served the term as acting governor.
