Reply to comment by UnfairAd7220 in Another good article on NH Gerrymandering - I think all states should have independent commissions, not sure why some (like the Guv) are so opposed to it. by AMC4x4

The article probably should have clarified a bit. The Democratic-Republican Party was known at the time as the Republican Party and was founded in 1792, dissolved in 1834.

It was also known as the Jeffersonian Republican Party, the ticket under which Elbridge Gerry was elected VP. So he very much was trying to help "Republicans."
