New York City is Wig all over

the whole patronage Of the city, &c.
Nearly 900 votes have been given.
There have been given six thousand
more votes than belong to the city, and
these come from New Jersey, Long

for the 7lh Ward of this city, which
the explorers took from the Wings

State officers, rolled in uponus. There
never was such a political fight before

600 less People in the city than one
