Through the electoral college as today.
Only the runner-up was vice-president; there wasn't such a thing as a ticket.

In the very first election the winner was declared President and the runner-up Vice President. George Washington received 69 electoral votes and John Adams received 34. All together, 12 people ran in that election.

As I recall, the candidate with the most votes became President, the candidate with the second most votes became Vice President.
A much better system than the one we currently use...

Originally, the person with the most electoral votes became president and the one with the second most became vise-president.
