The organization known as the .sNationai Uniop,,tho
remnant Of the late Boil and Everett party-sndorssd
Mr. Gunthsr. Their tickets were printed 1t the printing
establishment Of Isaac J. Oliver, who actve part
for Mr. Opdyko, and when the Mayoraty ticket
ganixation IL was found that several thousand were
printed c. Godfrey Cunt, G. Godfrey Gunth, Godfrey
.Gunthe, direy Gnnther, and several thousand wore
thrown out by the National Union COMMITTEES before
sending them 70 the different wards but seems that
al OF them were not thrown OUT for several turned up

So,e 70 Judge, the rumors Of tho election OF

thousand dollar bet ON tho election of NJ
Opdyke, and there is desire to keep him in hot
water long possible about IT, in this the Board of
Aldermen have succeeded admirably. The ibse comes
out with columns OF threats against their holding up the
idea Of aboshng the Board aud other threats
unless they elect Opdyke showing unusual amount Of
feengn fact boiling over with wrath at the idea Of
Gnnther being elected Seldom have We the
Tribune philosophers out OF huInor than this
joke and we fear Greeley will not be able to sleep until
the Board OF Aldermen the election Of 0pdyke
or promise to refund the thousand dollars If he losos it,
we nave no idea that tho rumors of the election OF
Guner are pt aoat for any other reason than for the
purpose worrying the Spruce street philosophers.
The result o! the Mayoray vote in the Fifth Senatorial
district Is worthy tho study Of all politicians who
templatcd cheating mea nominated by their own
party That district has been considered for time
!st Mozart district Wood carried 1t two years ago by
about eight hundred majority In the State cleo
ton the Mozart leaders sold out Cozan their nomi
nee for Cornel lynch, the Mozart candidate for Sheriff.
however carried the district by eight hundred
iory Tho selling Of Cozan made quito change, result
ing IN Gunther carrying the district by nary thrt en-
hundred majority change OF about two thoua votes
This should be warning for cheating politicians in the
future.
The Eleventh ward has been considered stronghold Of
tho Mozart and has been carried by them
by handsome majority on evcry test for
several years Lynch came out Of tho ward
but Just before the last election there were rumoH that
the Mozart leaders had made preparations to sell Kelly,
their regular nominee for Alderman, and run Mozart
boxes for Booc This coming TO the knowledge Of
the friends Of Kelly they prepared themselves for and
on the morning of election, finding that Mozart boxes
were placed at the polling places and Booes name deat
out from them the friends Of Kelly threw out portion
of Woods tickets from the regular Mozart boxes and
placed in their stead Ganther tickets Thercsult was that
Gunthcr carried the ward by two hundred majority
These specimens, think enough to convince poiti
clans in the future that honesty s the best policy even
in politics.
At least two candidates for Aldermen also defeat
ed in the ward by their cheating their own party nomi
nees in the November election.
In the Fourteenth Aldermanic district pacard was
posted around the district the morning or the election
stating that Mr.. Rugges the peoples candidate hac
withdrawn in favor of Mr. 0twell, having the nano OF
NJ Ruggles signed to it, The friends oil the latter Claim
that he was defeated by that false cird.
There curious affair in the Twentieth ward. show
people pretend to be strong partsans and are constantly
cnagag the Seward po ton Of tile rep lblicaa party
N.,h playing false whenever any person Ia non~
mattel that es not belong to their own side OF The
house. But the facts n the case arc the yofy re-
u rs. has been demonstrated various occasions,
all in this instance in particular. There have
been for several years two factions In the
Twentieth ward, under the lead Of the Seward re-
pubicans and the other the Tribune Mr. Sinclair, ono
the proprietors and member Of the tribune assoc
alton, beng the leader ef their faction. Tho Seward
party or 1t is Snown in the ward, the Grdloy assoeia
tion succeeded in nominating their man, Mr.. clacken
bush for School Commissioner. This did not please the
faction under the lead Of Mr. Sinclair and the lr
b4ne Accordingly they went Oh by themselves and nom
mated Mr.. Sine air for the Office H0 went through
the canvass with the strong support OF the Tribune bar
gained with German club, and ont OF the canvass
with all his hard work with about nj hundred and se
venty votes willie the nominee Of tho other branch Of tho
party received about nineteen hundred votes, or abod
two Here then the test Of thc strength Of the
Tribune party when they do the best that they know how
How about the political influence Of the Tribune?
With these facts we dismiss the politicians for tho
present. trusting that they will n profit by tho expe
Tience Of the fall elections in this city.
