2nd strongest, in the 8th ward; 3rd strongest, with two excep¬ 
tions in the 9th ward; 4th strongest, with one exception, in the 
11th ward; and 5 th strongest, with one exception, in the 13th 
ward. The remainder of the vote was as uniformly divided. 
When the vote polled is compared with the population, 61 the 
wards, in order of importance, were 10th, 8th, 13th, 11th and 
14th wards. The vote for Mr. Webb, the carpenter, for the 
Senate, follows very closely the vote for the Assembly ticket. 
The vote for Mr. Wood, the merchant, is very different. The 
wards for these candidates were in order of importance.

Mr. Webb was strongest both absolutely and relatively in the 
13th, 10th, 8th, 11th and 14th; the same wards in which the 
assembly candidates were strongest. Mr. Wood, on the other 
hand, was strongest both absolutely and relatively in the 1st, 
3rd, 2nd, 8th and 9th; that is in the same wards which sup¬ 
ported the merchants’ Anti-Auction candidates in 1828. 
A peculiar overlapping of candidates appears in 1829, and 
furnishes an interesting comparison. Mr. Ogden was an Anti- 
Auction candidate in 1828; he was a Republican- candidate in 
1829. Mr. Wood, the Workingmen’s candidate in 1829 was 
also Mr. Ogden’s running mate on the Republican ticket in 
1829. The votes for these men at the two periods absolutely 
and relatively are as follows: 
6 i The population of voting age for N. Y. City was not available. The 
total population, however, can be used with comparative safety, be¬ 
cause, as Appendix “A” at the end of the paper shows, the possible 
vote was not widely different in the different wards.
