THE DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE FOR MAYOR.
The Erening Post thus frankly utters its mind con-
corning the candidate for Mayor regularly nominated
by both actions of the party TO which that journal
lately belonged
1.-TWO Democratic Conyentions-the Soffs and the
Hards-last evening nominated Fernando "ood iot
Mayor Of New-York. II it were not well known oy
what machinery regular nominations, as they are
called. are made in this Ci;y, such a nomination
w,uld surprise everybody. There Is not man IN
either division Of the Democratic party with the ex-
cepton Of Wood himself, and his hangerson, VINO
he's desired this nomination. We have heard Tue SUD
iect frequently spoken of-for il was well known be-
forehand that Wood and his agents long ago had their
arrangements perfected TO secure his nonination-
and we have never heard single man, even of those
who act with him. maintain that he Is hi person Tor
Mayor. On the contrary, it has been agreed on all
hands that his election TO the office would be great
misfortune TO the City.
In spite Of this unpopuarty the two Conven'
Softs nominated him unanimously, and in the Con-
vention Of the Haris be had large minority.
Woods merits were so undenlably manifest that the
delegates Of two partes which quarrel IN regard to
everything else. were most harmODously agreed on
this They could not resist the evidence presented to
them Of fernando Woods special fitness for the post
of Mayor.
"Mr. Wood has been once before candidate for
Mayor and to the good fortune OF our City, unsuc-
ces:fuiy. He was s-o not long since rejected as
ddate for seat in Congress In both cases he came
out of the contest standing considerably worse IN the
public estimation than when he went into IT. lie IS
determined, il seems, to make another tei ami win

tiop will undoubte get some votes. Inc charges
against him. which stood 50 much in his way on the
prevous occasions will of course be revived, and
Hncertly wish him the luck which he then I'd.
AT time when men who have no other interest in
the administration of the City Government than thait

looking about for candidate who possesses all these
qualities such nomination as that OF Fernando Wood
il as gross an insult could be offered them. II is

ding them defiance. II We had not known how the
two Conventions were packed, we should have ex-
