Auction and Republican tickets. 46 According to a map of !New 
York City, 1853, Pearl street,—the street where most of the 
merchants in the Anti-Auction committee as well as the Com¬ 
mittee of Fifty had their places of business—runs approxi¬ 
mately parallel with Broadway and East River, touching Broad¬ 
way at both ends. As the wards of the city are marked in this 
same map;, Pearl street traverses the first, second, fourth and 
sixth wards. It is here that we should suppose the Anti-Auction 
vote to be strongest. The total vote was White, 18,070 ; Ogden, 
11,204; Taylor, 10,974. The vote more in detail is as follows :

From the foregoing table it appears that the four wards in 
which Taylor, the mechanic, received his greatest numerical vote 
were the first, eighth, ninth and second, in the order named; 
while the four wards which gave him the largest percentage of 
the total vote cast in any ward were, in the order named, the 
second, first, third and fourth. That is, the first and second 
w r ards gave him the largest numerical as well as the largest rel¬ 
ative vote. As for White, the merchant, the four wards in 
which he received his greatest numerical vote were, in the order 
named, the eighth, ninth, seventh and tenth; while the four 
wards in which he received his largest relative vote were, in the 
order named, the twelfth, eleventh, sixth, and seventh. That 
is, no marked concentration appears. The vote for Ogden, the 
46 He ran with Cambreling & Verplanck on the Republican ticket.
