MISUNDERSTANDING.
way rejoicing

In the result of yesterdays MayOralty Elec.
ton there is one very striking fact which shows
that WEAKNESS of close-corpOratiOn management
and the corruptiOns of the Lobby and the
Ring" rather than any popular sentiment in
favor of Mr.. Gunther's political principles, lay
at the bottom Of the earthquake which has
shaken the regular "machincs" Of the Demo-
cratic party to atoms In those Wards where
no prominent ring" or Lobby managers had
control, the votes are pretty fairly divided be-
tween Gunther and Boole; while in every ward
where the "Ring men" and "City Railroad
men" were in the ascendant, the "machincs'
have come to grief with vengeance VI course
we except from these remarks the Sixth Ward,
in which it is always impossible to tell from the
returns how the people really vote-although
from the extra attention called to it by the card
of Alderman Vim. Walsh, this Ward yesterday
went much nearer to the true popular figures
than it has done for years.
But in the Seventh Ward, where VIM. III.
Tweed enjoys life and the fat things OF the
Board of Supervisors, the Street Department
and the Reference cases of subservient Judges,
Boole is beaten by more than 800 majority.
In the Ninth Ward where Alderman Chip OF
the "Ring" is lord paramount, he is beaten by
Just 500. In the Tenth Ward, where War
Horse Purdy Frances around there is ma
iority against Boole of over 500. In the
Eleventh Ward, Mr. BODIES own Ward, that
gentleman is beaten by very nearly 1000
votes. In the Seventeenth Ward, the home OF
Mr. Charles g. Cornell Mr.. Booe goes behind
to the tune of loo In the Eighteenth
Ward, where ex-senator John j. Bradley doml-
neers, Mr.. Gunther's vote is over 200, while
Mr.. Boole contents himself with modest 100.
In the Nineteenth Ward. where Alderman Far
lev lives and has his being, Boolc goes to the
wall under Gunthcr majority Of 400. In the
Twentieth Ward, where Mr.. Peter Is Sweeny
carries things his own way, Gunther has over
400 majority; and i'll the case Of the Twenty
second Ward over the destnies OF which Mr.
Fernando Wood yields an undisputed scep'er,
Mr.. Gunther has more majority than Boole has
votes.
We rather suspect there has been very con-
siderable disappointment all around the board.
Mr. Boole, in going after that strange god, the
negro vote" was just keae too smart.
Beyond this error Of Judgment on his part,
however, was the further fact that all the signs
of the day point to a detection OF the Irish
en- masa from the corruptons and miserable,
plundering schemes Of the poor, paltry crea-
lures and knayes who now hold usurped control
of the destnies of the Democratic party in this
city. Tammany is beaten and Mozart is beaten;
and both are beaten togethT. Mozart, to
attain some appearance Of strength, may plead
that she " cheated" i'll favor OF Gunther; bu'
the prctense will be false one. From all the
evidence we can collect, the BoOlc tickets ran
fairly and squarely all day long out of very
nearly all the Tammany and Mozart boxes;
and. in addition To this, Mr.. Boole receiy the
active and open support of the entire Police
| force: and of all those corrupt Republicans
who are in league with the Tammany Lobby
and Ring in City Railroads, West Washing
ton Market, Fort Ganseyoort, and other such
schemes.
| Arc the members of the Democratic State
Central Committee satisfied They told the
NcKeonitcs at their last state Convention to
20 to the polls this year and prove their
strength: and that Oh such proof they would be
admitted to the next State Convention OF the
Central Railroad managers. We rather fancy
they hare shown strength. Pretty considerable
strength. What think the Tamlnany- Mozart
managers now Of their late " raflie" for Judge
ship Of the Superior Court May not A. Oakley
Hall become convinced in time that he took the
wrong moment for turning his coat Who will
cav after this that our cOlOred folks have no In
Auence in New-York City, They have de-
cidcdly elected Mayor.
