Our Municipal Campaign-The Middle
or Cliquss and Factions.
The political parties, rings, cliques and fac
tons Of this city are nicely cut up for lively
scrub race for Mayor. Like misery, politics
makes strange bedfellows. The Citizens AssO-
citation was first in the field, with the ticket OF
John Hecker for Mayor and Richard O'Gorman
for Corporation Counsel This ticket, being .
mixed commission, was intended as Q flank
movement against the republican and demo-
cratic rings. Next the McKeon democracy set
up Gunther and O'Gorman. Then comes Tam
many Hall with her ticket Of Recorder Hoffman
and O'Gorman and lastly, Mozart adopts the
ticket Of Hecker and O'Gorman.
Mr.. O'Gorman's election as Corporation
Counsel is thus secured against all contingent
cies; but the struggle for Mayor. as II will
be seen, is considerably mixed. Greeley and
Fernando Wood, the radical abolitionist and
the radical copperhead, strike hands upon
Hecker and O'Gorman. Ben Wood, tho
Samese twin to Fernando, says of Mr.. Hecker
that "the philanthropy which he has shown BY
his extensive benevolence to the poor marks
him as true democrat and as man entitled
to the support of the workngmen." The Hon.
Ben's opinion of Recorder Hoffman is some
what different He says that Hoffman els dis
| tinguished for nothing but brutal severity to
adopted citizens and a shameless prostitution
| of his office to the behests Of fanatical aboli-
| tionism," and for his connection with "the
street cleaning contract" which has become
| 80 notorious. -s,.,>-.'4f-~ IS
There -. then, decided rupture between
| Tammany and Mozart on the Mayor. But what
is the Hon. Ben Wood driving at in his charge
of Recorder Hoffman's 'brutality to adopted
citizens" and "the prostitution Of his Office to
the behests of fanatical abolitionismW The
| Times we guess, furnishes the desired expla-
| nation in its endorsement of Mr.. Hoffman az
Gan able, honest and capable man, who during
| the riots (July, 1869 proved his fidelity in
judicial Office to the country and the law
that is, in his summary punishments of certain
parties proved to be active rioters. Those
rioters, it would thus appear, are under the
special protection Of the Woods, while they
are at the same time welcomed to the Tribune
| Office with 'the experienced and able" Fer
i nandO.
But how Ia it that the Times has discovered
| such an admirable candidate for Mayor in Re-
| corder Hoffman? We cannot tell; but 1t is sup
posed to be according to the wish Of the "old
| man. Of Albany. Che World Tammany
organ, evidently thinks that between the "ofd
man" and the frisky Raymond Recorder Ho6-
man is in fair way Of liberal republican
support; and to keep the Times in this good
frame of mind the pleasant Mr.. Mantilini Marble
comes to the defence Of Master Raymond
against those sanguinary and bloodthirsty
Fenians, Colonel OMahony and B. Doran
Killian. ''They are all wrong, and Mr.. Ray
mond will be protected, don't you sect" The
infexible Greeley, however, sticks to Heoker,
so that there is every prospect Of regular
split among the republicans as well a. tho
i democrats.
Az Sir Lucius O'Trigger or B. Doran Nlliaa
has it, "this is q very pretty quarrel as it
stands, and it would be a pity to spoil it,
| Fellow citizens, rejoice. Party lines In this
city for once are broken up; radicals and cop
perheads, republican chiefs and Tammany
sachems, Ben Wood and Horace Greeley, tho
lion and the lamb, are lying down together.
and the millennium is coming.
"BRAzu-THE CHARM BRoKEN."-Since the
downfall of their confederacy unsubdued
Southern men in sundry places in the South
have been getting up companies for the par-
pose of emigrating to Brazil, as tho best
refuge remaining for the irrepressible Southern
STAKEHOLDER. But the Richmond Wing has
the information from the Freeman's Jour
nal that i'm Brazil the Cabinet or Minis
try of the Emperor is chiefly composed
| of negroes; that there Is not one man OF
pure white blood in the Ministry; that tho
Judges Of the courts are oftener negroes than
white men, and says that if all this Is true
Brazil is no place for the Southern white man
seeking o refuge from negro equality We
think so too, and that the best thing the dis
gusted ex-slaveholders Of the South and poor
whites can do is to try to reconcile themselves
to their own country and the fortunes Of war.

goes halfway for Hoffman; but the poets Of

supporting both Hecker and Hoffman.
